Fictional character biography

Brita An'nan is a native of the planet Sklar, a matriarchial society where technological piracy is common. Brita's mother, a pirate, saved the life of the mother of Mysa Nal (the White Witch). In return, Brita was granted the power to shift mass through time, thereby making objects more or less dense. When Brita was five, she and her mother were attacked by a group of Khunds. Brita made the clothing of the Khundish warriors intangible, embarrassing them tremendously and making Brita their permanent enemy.

Years later, Brita became a smuggler on the near-lawless planet Rimbor, partnered with Jo Nah, the former Ultra Boy. When Reep Daggle (Chameleon Boy) and Rokk Krin (Cosmic Boy) reformed the Legion of Super-Heroes, Brita joined them, adopting the code name "Kono". She brought along her large feral pet "Furball", unaware until much later that he was actually Brin Londo, the former Timber Wolf.
