Anna is loosely based on Gerda from "The Snow Queen", a fairy tale created by Hans Christian Andersen.
Anna
is more daring than graceful and, at times, can act before she thinks.
But she's also the most optimistic and caring person you'll ever meet.
She longs to reconnect with her sister Elsa, as they were close during
their childhood. When Elsa accidentally unleashes a magical secret that
locks the kingdom of Arendelle in an eternal winter, Anna embarks on a
dangerous adventure to make things right. Armed with only her
fearlessness, a never-give-up attitude and her faith in others, Anna is
determined to save both her kingdom and her family.
However, for many years, Anna bore a great deal of pain stemming from her lonely past. At a young age, Anna was forced to live a secluded life within the castle walls. She tried to make the best of the situation and maintain her cherished relationship with Elsa, but she always found herself ignored. When her parents perished in a voyage at sea, Anna had no one else to turn to for companionship.
More than anything, Anna wished to set things right with her sister, but after constant neglect, she began to seek other ways to fill the void left by Elsa, choosing to pursue a flawed and idealized perception of romance. Upon meeting Hans, Anna was quick to bond with the handsome prince, and after sympathizing with his similar sibling experiences, she agreed to his marriage proposal. But when circumstances resulted in the exposure of Elsa's powers, Anna could not help but try once more to reconnect with her sister, demonstrating a remarkable amount of faith.
Nevertheless, during her journey to restore summer, Anna found her faithful attitude continually tested. Though Anna firmly believed her sister would never hurt her, Elsa inadvertently froze her heart, placing her in mortal danger. And when she desperately needed Hans to kiss her to thaw her frozen heart, Anna was devastated when the prince revealed that he had used her all along in an attempt to seize the throne; left in the freezing library, Anna was doomed to die thinking no one loved her. But with Olaf's timely intervention, Anna was taught the true meaning of love, and with renewed faith, she ventured out into the storm to meet Kristoff.
Fiercely loyal to those she cares about, Anna never hesitates to support those close to her; when the Duke of Weselton called Elsa a "monster", Anna was quick to defend her sister, saying Elsa was simply scared and did not mean to freeze the summer. And after Olaf was mistreated by Marshmallow, Anna immediately confronted the snow monster, despite his being many times her size. Even when her own life was in danger, Anna still considered the welfare of others; as she was slowly succumbing to the effects of Elsa's curse, Anna worried instead about Kristoff and his ice business. And despite needing to stay warm, Anna still warned Olaf to stay away from the fire. After her old perceptions of love were transformed, Anna was solely responsible for her own salvation, as she saved herself from Elsa's curse by selflessly standing between her sister and Hans' sword. No longer fooled by Hans' charming looks, Anna also did not hesitate in delivering her own brand of justice upon the prince for his actions.
True to her dynamic personality, Anna is an impulsive, even rash, individual. Though Hans was essentially a complete stranger, Anna not only agreed to marry him, but also entrusted him with the welfare of the entire kingdom in her absence, decisions that would later result in nearly catastrophic consequences. She also embarked on the quest to retrieve her sister without considering the length of her absence or bringing proper supplies. And amidst Elsa's powers swirling dangerously, Anna continued to press forward to encourage her sister without pausing to consider the risks. However, more often than not, her quick thinking proved invaluable; Anna was able to assist Kristoff in defending the sled from wolves with a musical instrument and burning blanket, and she was able to free herself and Kristoff from Marshmallow's clutches by cutting the rope from which they hung.
As she matured, Anna never lost the optimism and determination, despite it being tested. The greatest test came when she believed Elsa to be lost to her, leaving Anna to go on with what had to be done alone
Despite the hardships she endured, at her core, Anna remains a fun-loving and high-spirited individual.
Black Cat is a comic book adventure heroine published by
Harvey Comics from 1941 to 1951. Harvey also published reprints of the
character in both the mid-1950s and the early 1960s. The character's
creation is claimed by the Harvey family to have originated with
publisher Alfred Harvey, but there is no corroborating evidence for
this. The Black Cat debuted in Pocket Comics #1 (August 1941), an experimental digest-sized comic book published by Harvey and was illustrated by artist Al Gabriele.
Linda Turner
is the daughter of silent film Western actor Tim Turner, and a former
Hollywood stunt woman. Linda has successfully made the transition from
stunt woman to lead actress. During the filming of an unnamed picture,
Linda suspects the film's director, Garboil (no first name given), of
being a Nazi spy or at the very least an American Bund member. In order
to follow him and gain corroborating evidence, she disguises herself in a
backless blue blouse, red shorts, blue flared gloves, red buccaneer
boots and a blue opera mask and calls herself the Black Cat.
Linda
Turner gained access to movies with bit parts in her parents' films as a
child. Her father was silent film western actor Tim Turner and her
unnamed mother was a stunt woman, having appeared at least once in a
jungle girl picture or serial, probably in the early thirties. By her
late teens, Linda became a professional stunt woman and won some acclaim
for her work. Her natural beauty gained her a screen test and her
innate acting ability led to acting jobs, eventually to starring roles.
Her acting roles have ranged from period dramas and romantic melodramas
to action heroines, where her history as a stunt woman allows her to do
some of her own stunts. That same history as a stunt woman, plus life on
her father's ranch outside of Los Angeles, gave Linda the physical
skills to perform her work as The Black Cat. Linda is adept at riding a
horse and a motorcycle, as well as performing stunts on the vehicle. She
is proficient with a lasso and rope, and possesses a black belt in
judo. Her stunt training also allows her to make impressive leaps from
buildings or moving vehicles safely.
While following Garboil, Black Cat meets Rick Horne, a reporter for the Los Angeles Globe who has been assigned to investigate rumors of a Nazi spy ring in LA. Initially disdainful of each other, the pair are forced to work together and discover that Garboil is planting secret information in his motion pictures. Using her knowledge of the studio, Black Cat sneaks into the editing room and changes the edit of the picture to render the information useless. When they are discovered, Rick and Cat physically overpower the gang and turn them in. Garboil escapes and Linda decides to maintain her Black Cat identity in order to keep watch over his activities.
According to Jess Nevins' Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes, "Most of the Black Cat's opponents are ordinary criminals and Axis agents, but she does fight a female Mad Scientist, the criminal brothers known as the Three Black Cats, a vampire, and after the war Russians in Afghanistan."
In 1944, The Black Cat's costume was modified slightly, becoming a one piece blue bathing suit with buccaneer boots, flared gloves and opera mask, all in blue, and a red belt. This look would remain for the rest of her career.
