Wordgirl

Overview
Wordgirl, otherwise known as Becky Botsford, is a Lexiconian superheroine. Her secret identity is a mild-mannered elementary school teacher, but whenever evil arises, she instantly becomes Wordgirl by placing her hand to her chest and exclaiming, "Word Up!"

Her trademark insignia consists of a red star imposed on a golden shield. She seems to have a fondness for maroon, as both her Wordgirl and Becky forms wear it.

Wordgirl is extremely popular in Fair City, which she protects, and there has been much merchandising and celebrating of the heroine. She has even received many (over 200) keys to the city.

Background
She was born on the planet Lexicon, and as an infant accidentally wandered onto a spaceship, which was piloted by Hah Gi'Faes. While he was driving the spaceship, Wordgirl woke and startled him, making them hit an asteroid and forcing him to crash land on Earth in order to save the both of them. However, neither of them have tried to return to Lexicon since.

Wordgirl was then adopted by Tim and Sally Botsford, who at that point had no children of their own (though later they had their own kid, T.J. Botsford, who would be her brother), and she was given the name "Becky." Hah Gi'Faes was also "adopted" as a pet and given the name "Bob." The downed spaceship remained in the same spot and would then be used as Wordgirl's secret hideout.

She grew up in a normal life, though she displayed her keen intelligence at an early age - she was found on the Botsford's doorstep as a baby reading their newspaper (even though in one flashback, she was found in the woods). Sooner or later, she took up the identity of Wordgirl. She has the entire dictionary memorized and is able to define any given word at a moment's notice.
