Img 1.1 - Samsara & Twisted: two sides of Dragonfly.

Who is Samsara?
Samsara Le Fleur Simmons was left at the door of her parents as a baby, with a strange note containing her name and the recommendation to feed her with much love, so she would become who was meant to be, in a balanced way. Once a teen, she discovered herself a fairy, like the stories. During this period she also discovered her other secret ...

Who is Twisted?
Samsara has another side of herself, another ego, that she considers "her evil side": where Samsara is made only of calm, kindness and lightness, this other girl is completely made of passion, curiosity and enthusiasm for all sorts of risky and strange things. She called this other self "Twisted". Twisted did not like this name at first, but ended up clinging to it, for the irony of seeing the meaning of her own name in the world around.

Who is Dragonfly?
Dragonfly is the resulting mix of the two egos of Samsara. At the same time a dedicated healer and a ferocious fighter, Dragonfly has a keen instinct for peace and war.

The Early Days

My name is Samsara, Samsara le Fleur Simmons. Le Fleur i took from my mom, Adalene le Fleur, and Simmons, from my dad, David Simmons. They are the best parents a girl can have.

Well, they are not my biological parents. They found me in a basket, on their frontdoor, with a note, but no name, no clue of origin, nothing. I was just a baby, a little blonde baby-girl. Since they couldn't give birth, they always thought of me as the greatest miracle they could ever get in life.

At the age of eight, I began to prove that this view was far more appropriate than they could even imagine: while building a wooden horse for me, my dad broke his finger with a hammer. It was a terrible accident. Instinctively, I ran to him and grabbed his finger. He screamed at me with my violent act, but as soon as I let go, he noticed his finger was not broken anymore.

Simple as that: I got desperate when my dad got hurt, and I really wanted him to get better, and it happened. It was enough to hold his finger and he healed immediately.

Mom cried when it happened. My dad spent some time staring at me and at the finger, still incredulous, still not understanding.

Eventually, however, they finally realized: they live in Millenium City, so superheroes and supervillains are nothing new to them. So the only answer was that I was a meta-human.

When my gift was revealed for the first time, everything began to change. I never got sick again, or even got hurt for more than a few seconds. When my parents were sick, it was enough to hug them to make them well, completely healed.

Our lives were incredibly happy, but they began to worry: could my new powers end up being a threat to my safety when they were revealed to the society? With that in mind, they decided that I would be home-schooled, through a private schoolhouse, until I was old enough to go to the Ravenswood Academy.

With my education and security already planned, my parents began to feel more at peace, not just with who I was, but with themselves. They even started to get excited about my gift, and my dad told me he always knew I was an angel. Everything was going very well, and it continued well ... for little more than a year.

At the end of 2009 the Qullarr invasion mobilized all the heroes and caused large-scale destruction. This destruction hit especially two places: The Champions HQ and Ravenswood. Students were killed in the massively concentrated attack to the school and many teachers also lost their lives putting themselves in the front line of the defense. We ended up defeating the Qullarr, but the price was too high. The tragedy struck us all, but my parents were especially desperate: they decided to send me to Ravenswood so I would not become a target! The Qullar changed everything!

I remember very well this part of my childhood because, since knowing that I would not go to school like the other children because I was being prepared to study at a superhero school, I could not think of anything else. I would be a superhero. It was decided within me, at the age of nine.
