The other day it was revealed that Rapaport Casting (who worked on Arrow & The Flash) would return to help showrunner Greg Berlanti find their Supergirl. Now TVLine has the first character descriptions and minor plot details on both Kara Zor-El as well as her sister?!
Kara Zor-El/Kara Danvers - The show is eyeing Caucasian females, age 22 to 26, to play 24. As the series’ mythology goes, Kara at age 12 was sent from her dying home planet of Krypton to Earth, where she was taken in by the Danvers, a foster family who taught her to be careful with her extraordinary powers. After repressing said skills for more than a decade, Kara is forced to bust out her super moves in public during an unexpected disaster. Energized by her heroism for the first time in her life, she begins embracing her abilities in the name of helping the people of her city, earning herself a super moniker along the way.
Alex Danvers - Kara’s gorgeous, brilliant, science-minded 26-year old foster sister. Growing up, Alex was partly jealous of her sibling yet also fascinated by her abilities, prompting Alex to learn as much as she could about alien anthropology, sociology and culture. Today, Alex works for a secret government organization and, alongside her heroic sis, will face many challenges, both mundane and super.
Supergirl will debut on CBS
