Magic isn't as real as science. It's moreso.
When Amanda Williams was a child, she had an odd friend, one by the name of Synandra. Her friend was small, fragile, and oddly pale, and spoke in strange rhythms, but the strangest thing about her friend was that no one else ever saw her.
This was, of course, because Amanda's friend was a fairy.
While the two of them played, Synandra taught Amanda. She taught Amanda how the worlds of magic worked, how to use magic herself. While Amanda did not know it, she spent her childhood becoming one of the world's most skilled - and least predictable - mages.
Amanda also had a great sense of justice, a strong desire to protect those who are helpless. As a teenager, emulating the heroes of previous eras - Alan Scott, Barry Allen - Amanda donned a costume, fighting crime as Pixie. Entering college, she put aside the costume, and Pixie vanished while Amanda concentrated on learning and living her life. However, seeing the destruction of the Final Crisis, and feeling the world's magic scream at the unleashing of the Anti-Life Equation, she took on a new mantle to protect the earth - that of Seelie.
Powers
Seelie wields fey magic - spells powered by ambient emotion. Both the power and nature of the magic she wields are dependent on her emotions and those of people around her.
She is one of Earth-8's most skilled mages, and the nature of her power renders her quite unpredictable to other wielders of magic. However, she also doesn't understand "traditional" magic, leading her to have as much difficulty predicting their actions as they do predicting hers.
