A proposal about WordGirl from the animated PBS TV series of the same name.

Who is she?
WordGirl is a superhero from the planet Lexicon whose superpowers and abilities include flying at the speed of sound, super hearing, super strength, invulnerability, and a comprehensive vocabulary. She also battles villains in her hometown of Fair City along with her sidekick, Captain Huggy Face. Her alter ego is mild-mannered 10 (later 11)-year-old fifth grade student Becky Botsford, who attends Woodview Elementary School. WordGirl can instantly change into her suit, and back again into her adopted human identity (depending on the scenario) by touching her shirt where her emblem would be, and speaking her catchphrase, “Word up!”.

Goodness Zone/Corrupting Factors
WordGirl is Fair City’s #1 hero. She not only stops villains from committing crimes but she also teaches others the definition of a certain word, hence her name. She can act naive at times and get quite temperamental, but she is also wise, cunning, determined, understanding, smart, tough, and willing to save at almost every cost.

Admirable Standards
In the four-part special “The Rise of Miss Power”, WordGirl is under the mentorship of a new arrival Miss Power, who teaches her to bully villains. However after realising what she had done, WordGirl protests against Miss Power’s teachings, which makes the latter frustrated, so much so that at one point she tears off WordGirl’s star emblem, saying that she doesn’t deserve it. After studying some secret battle moves, a final showdown between WordGirl and Miss Power takes place, and no matter what Miss Power says to WordGirl, she rejects them. Miss Power, claiming she has not been defeated and never will be, leaves the planet Earth. The villains and city D.A. Sally Botsford cheer her on.

Verdict
She should be approved.
