Linka

Linka is the third planeteer in Captain Planet and the Planeteers, a 1990s enviromentalist superhero television series. She has the power of Aerokinisis, and comes from the Soviet Union; making her one of the few soviet heroines American youth could look up to. However, latter episodes state she's simply Eastern European, and from a country after the soviet collapse. It's reasonable to assume that she was raised in the USSR for most of her early life (as she's still ideologicaly Communisitic), and that at some point prior to joining the Planeteers the USSR crumbled. Linka is the daughter of a miner, and use to tend to the birds used to test for the presence of gas in the mines. Learning that the birds would die of such exposure left a scared impression upon her mind, which is why she's so focused on the protection of birds from the effects of pollution.
