Bonus In Disguise December Goldstar/Supernova A non-canonical entry. My partner, @kirstenogden.bsky.social liked the Supernova entry so much, she wanted a female version. I'm playing a little what-if/possible timeline where Booster's sister took his place as Supernova.

My sweetheart gifted me this little super Grover who is my spirit animal and so I share here to let you know we will all be ok.❤️
