HISTORY

An orphaned East Indian girl with shapeshifting powers. Since Aruna changed shape involuntarily and at great speeds during her youngest years, she is even unsure of her gender and got classified as 'Untouchable', one of the lowest castes in India, who live in isolation. In recent years, Aruna became a high-level stunt person in Bollywood due to her meta-human skills. After a meeting with Batman and Batgirl, she was inspired to become a force for good, fighting injustice in her native India.
