Legion Lore
Shrinking Violet
Salu Digby was born on the planet Imsk, all of who's inhabitants have the ability to shrink themselves down to tiny size, although she specifically had a greater skill with those powers and could shrink to microscopic size (don't ask, it was the 60s).
True to her name, Vi was a shy retiring person, but she nonetheless was an active and respectable Legionnaire. She was a member of the Legion Espionage Squad. After several years, she entered into a relationship with Duplicate Boy of the Heroes Of Lallor (another superteam unaffiliated but working parallel to the Legion).
After many more years, Vi was kidnapped by Imskian radicals and she was replaced by a Durlan (see
Chameleon Boy) who impersonated her for several months. During this time, the Durlan, Yera, returned the affections of
Colossal Boy, who always had feelings for Vi. This raised the suspicions of some other Legionnaires who invested and discovered the charade. Upon doing so, they then rescued Vi.
After she recovered from her ordeal, she returned to active duty, angrily broke up with Duplicate Boy, remained angry at Yera (though she wasn't told exactly what was happening by the radicals, and she wasn't prosectured), and started a short relationship with Sun Boy.
Later still, she entered into a longstanding lesbian relationship with Lightning Lass. After the Legion disbands, she returns to Imsk. There she is drafted into the war against Braal, the home planet of Comic Boy. In the battle of Vernado Boy, they are on opposite side, but she sees Cosmic Boy hurt, she rescues him from her own fellow Imskians. He, being disoriented and in pain, attacks her, which causes her to lose her right eye and scar her face. She has he eye replaced, but keeps the scar as a reminder, and she and Cosmic Boy reconcile.
A rough life.
