History
Ariadne is the daughter of the first Ironstar. He was Ted Stark, a millionaire inventor who built a high-tech staff with which he started adventuring as Ironstar. During one of his early adventures he came into contact with radiations from a meteorite which granted him the ability to encase himself in a dark grey metallic armour.
Ted Stark met and married fellow adventurer Phantasma, Maria Knight. They became involved with other powered heroes in a secret society called The Society.
Like other children of The Society members, their daughter Ariadne was educated and raised to follow in their footsteps as a superhero. During her adolescence her power to form a staff of energy surfaced. She designed, with the help of her father, a suit of armour, modelled on her fathers, using some of the technology which went into his staff.
She has recently become active using the identity of Ironstar, but has found reason to question the intentions of The Society.
Personality
Level-headed and calm under pressure.
While she is friendly and approachable, her upbringing has made her slow to form new attachments, and she can be somewhat guarded and slow to trust more than casual acquaintances.
