ZELDA DANVERS WAS NOT WOULD you would call an average teen. The young Human/Kree hybrid had never had anywhere to call home because her and her Mother travelled from planet to planet, from galaxy to galaxy, saving civilisations from destruction but never stayed long enough to get comfy. She didn't mind though because as long as she had her Mother, she was happy.

When Carol Danvers discovered she was with child she had no idea whether or not her baby would grow up to be like her: a warrior with incredible but deadly powers. A few years after she was born, it was clear how much like her Mother Zelda truly was and that scared Carol more than she would like to admit. To her, her powers were both a blessing and curse, but it was something she didn't want to pass onto her baby girl. Unfortunately for the family of two, fate had other ideas.

Zelda knew from a very young age that she was unlike anyone she had ever met, which was a lot of people considering how many planets she had been to. It wasn't just because of her powers that she thought she didn't truly belong, it was because she had been to so many places that they blurred into one another, her life was a patchwork.

Growing up, Zelda had been told all the stories of her Mother's time on Earth and then with the Kree but nothing stood out more than a man by the name of Nick Fury who was gifted with a pager by Carol before she left. Zelda would spend hours watching the small device, part of her hoping it would ring, calling them home so she could finally meet the people who her Mother had spoke so highly of and experience what life was like on the planet she was descended from.

And Zelda's wish came true after one devastating event that ripped through the stars like canon fire. The Mad Titan Thanos had succeed in his life long ambition of 'restoring order' to the Universe after collecting six precious gems known as the Infinity Stones And then used them to wipe out half of all life. When the Danvers duo arrived on Earth, Fury was gone and his heroes were defeated, the battle was already lost.

But after finding and returning their missing member, the Avengers bring the band back together to demand a rematch from the Mad Titan with their newest additions by their sides. Their desire for revenge on the purple man and their hatred towards him proved that there was darkness in even the brightest of places and no one knew that better than Zelda Danvers, the girl whose shining light also had shadow.

THE SPACE BETWEEN

"You carry both lightning and thunder in that space between your bones and soul. Become the storm you are hiding from, a hurricane does not run from the rain."

quotes:

"Who's the kid?"

"My name's Zelda Danvers, daughter of Carol Danvers, the inspiration for the Avengers Initiative; I've travelled the Universe saving planets and galaxies that didn't have anyone else to protect them so don't call me 'kid'."

"Woah, steady on there, I didn't mean to offend you or anything. Wait, did you just say that you've been to space?"

the life of zelda danvers

Origin: Zelda Danvers is the daughter of Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel. Zelda doesn't know what planet she was born on or who her father is. Ever since she was born she has travelled the stars with her Mother, befriended the Skrulls and has learnt about her powers. Carol tries to keep Zelda out of the way but sometimes Zelda helps out. After they kill Thanos, Zelda stays on Earth because her mother wants her to have a normal life.

The Celestial: Zelda has powers just like her Mother: she glows, can fly and can shoot photon blasts from her fists. She's also incredibly strong and fast. When she stays on Earth, she's 13 and makes sure to hide her identity whenever she fights. Natasha was the one to give her her superhero name. Her suit was designed and made by Tony Stark, inspired by her Mother's armour but her colours are black and purple instead of gold, red and blue.

If you want to know any other details about Zelda, please private message me and I'll be more than happy to answer any questions.

notes:

• Zelda takes after her Mother and used to save planets with her before the Snap. She lived on Earth for 5 years with the Avengers and is now 18.

• Zelda hates being called 'kid' by anyone that isn't her Mother, Fury, Tony, Steve or Nat. She hates that people underestimate her because of her age when she used to save civilisations from the 8 years old. You know when Zelda likes you when you're allowed to call her 'kid'.

• Zelda had never been to school before but Steve and Nat made sure to educate her from the compound. She's incredibly intelligent despite her lack of an education because she's picked up languages, skills and other things on her travels. Zelda may put up a hard and strong exterior, but inside she's soft and kind, it's a side she only shows to those she trusts.

• Much to everyone else's surprise, Zelda is quite close to Tony. Tony likes talking to her because even though she's young she understands what it's like to have the entire world and Universe on your shoulders. She knows what responsibility and guilt feels like. He talks to her sometimes about Peter Parker and his previous adventure with the Avengers. Zelda has always been there for little Morgan who sees the girl as her sister.

• Her main nickname is 'El' but some people call her 'Zee'. Tony likes to call her a range of things like 'Space Girl', 'Pocket rocket', 'Blondie', 'Little Z', 'Star Girl' etc.

• Zelda currently doesn't have a love interest which may change later on depending on where her story goes.

ACT ONE
end of infinity war / endgame

• After getting Fury's call, they arrive on Earth before going out to find Tony. They find Thanos and then Carol leaves her daughter on Earth in the care of Steve and Natasha so she could have a normalish life. She meets Maria Rambeau who's sick and is there for her when she dies. Zelda is dragged into the Time Heist and sticks with Steve in New York. When they realise Nat's gone, Zelda almost loses control because she loved Nat like a second Mother. Zelda fights and meets Peter Parker on the battlefield (Tony used to talk to her about him). At Tony's funeral she's introduced to Fury who is surprised when Zelda says she's a Danvers. At the end, Zelda is still left on Earth but Steve is also gone so she's now in the care of Monica.

ACT TWO
wandavision

• Zelda and Monica have grown close, they're like sisters. Although she doesn't like SWORD - more specifically, the guy in charge - Zelda still sticks with Monica. Monica takes Zelda with her wherever she goes and helps to investigate the Hex. Zelda is also dragged into the Hex and is under a new name (you can decide what) but she's still living with Monica. Zelda fights the Hex but isn't thrown out when Monica is but is reunited with her when she comes back. Monica and Zelda are then told that Zelda's mother wants to see them.

When Captain Marvel 2 aka The Marvels comes out, it needs to be added to this timeline.
