Star Sapphire

I was on a big villain kick and decided to tackle the Secret Society. Star Sapphire is a cool villainess that really gets underused in my opinion.Here's a bit of her backstory that the Justice League animated cartoon version has left off.
The Star Sapphire is the chosen queen of the Zamarons, an immortal race of females descended from the planet Maltus. By tradition, the Queen of the Zamarons was always a mortal and each successive queen would be an exact duplicate in appearance. The reason why the Zamarons would appoint a mortal outsider as their queen remains a mystery. Though the Star Sapphire is led to believe she leads the Zamarons, it is only at their whim.

A frequent enemy of the Green Lantern Corps, the true origin of Star Sapphire remains shrouded in legend. It is known that her "royal lineage" extends back at least a few hundred years to the 11th Century, when a Star Sapphire and the entity known as the Predator attempted to have a "child" between them.
[EXTREME JUSTICE # 11]
Following the death of the reigning Star Sapphire, another would be chosen by the Zamarons to take her place. In the late twentieth century, the Zamarons searched the universe for a successor until they found Carol Ferris of Earth.
Carol Ferris would have made a fine queen, except for her adoration of Green Lantern. The Zamarons sought out to prove to their proposed queen that Green Lantern was weak, and therefore not deserving of her attention. Through the music of a Zamaron organ, Ferris was transformed into the Star Sapphire, named after the gem that contained much of her power. She wore the sapphire in a tiara and was clothed in the traditional costumes for hunting and exploration.
Armed with the gemstone, Star Sapphire had the power of flight and a repelling ray. Ferris was telepathically induced to fight the emerald gladiator, despite her love for him.
She was a joy to make due to the help of my friend Double-Dealer who donated her head after I emailed him admiring his Star Sapphire he has on his site. If you can believe it or not the head he gave me was a REJECT, this was a reject?? No wonder his work is so flawless! I copied his recipe I used Batgirls body with the boots dremeled down as well as thee belt. I used epoxy to smooth over the legs and belt area. Her gloved also needed some tweaking as well and epoxy put was layered onto them to give a uniform look. Her paint job was no small task it took forever to mix the funky fuchsia color she uses and I still think I just missed it , but it is close enough for me though. I used tamiya flesh to give her a deeper skin tone as a cool contrast for her black costume.
