Work Text:
From her youngest age, Stephanie Brown knew she is an unwanted child.
Her parents don't bother to act like they care, she doesn't have siblings or relatives to rely on; although she likes school, she never bonded with playmates or teachers to the point they'd get concerned by her living situation or involved for her.
It gets lonely being constantly looked down, always dismissed and forever uncared for.
Stephie was eight years old when her little universe... lighted up, after an extroardinay encounter that changed everything.
Before that, she often looked at the stars and wondered what life could be like in a planet far away. Afterwards... she obtained an answer.
