Just a Girl, Not a Wonder...

[[This was needed because the character is not that well-known. I'm going to try to keep most of these entries in-character, but if there needs to be any further explanation, I'll pop back up in these brackets. ^_^

I have read a lot of the Wonder Woman run where Vanessa Kapatelis appears, but my knowledge isn't comprehensive. Bluefall is the Wonder Historian, and her When Wondy Was Awesome series (synopsis/history posts with plenty of scans) was pretty useful for filling in the blanks. Important parts for Vanessa are Part 1, Part 3, Part 15, and Part 17. She's still around as a background character in Part 7, but she's totally not the focus of that post.]]

I'm Vanessa Kapatelis, daughter of archaeologist David Kapatelis and Professor Julia Deneiros Kapatelis. I've lived most of my life in Boston, Massachusetts. My mother raised me on her own after we lost my father -- he died when I was five years old.

( When Diana met Nessie [Perez years, 'Wonder Woman: Gods and Mortals' - 'Wonder Woman: Destiny Calling', and more] )

( Becoming the second Silver Swan ['Paradise Found'] )

( A Swan no longer [Rucka period] )

I've heard that there may be another Silver Swan running around causing trouble. But I don't know anything about that. I've just been trying to recover, put my life back together. (And not forget to keep my home address private; the fact that I was the most recent Silver Swan is pretty well-known, and there are plenty of people who were hurt by that.)

[[I'm not entirely clear on whether the Silver Swan shows up post-Rucka, but she shouldn't be Vanessa if she does.]]

So... that's me. Hope I haven't scared all of you off.
