Personality[]
Each of the colors has somewhat unique personality quirks, but no major differences. For example, the white one gets motion sickness when going too fast in the cruiser. The white Neutral third was erased by "antimatter" resulting from the temporal tampering of the warlord Imperiex, leading her to change her codename to Duo Damsel. However, as she and the others returned before the temporal tamperings actually started, she is assured that her third may be restored along with the rest of the future. Duo Damsel's costume was reworked, adding black accents instead of the original white, and replacing her chest symbol (three triangles) with a circle split down the middle. She had her hair redone in black with streaks of orange and purple. After Brainiac's defeat, the future is restored with her Neutral third returning to the 31st century to the others' delight. She has a budding relationship with Bouncing Boy.
