The character originates from Aizawl, the capital city of Mizoram. She acquires super flight and super strength from gadgets developed by her inventor-father. The editor Rajani Thindiath described it as a "reluctant superhero" but "has the potential to be the most iconic female superhero characters in Indian comic history." It was created to promote gender equality with a focus on northeast India where discrimination based on ethnic stereotyping has been an issue. But it was criticised for not reflecting any of the northeast Indian cultural elements and environments. (en)
