Jolly Super Girl
By Sparky
Jolly Super Girl is the Galactic Star Name of the Vorusian Ambassador for Universal Peace and Harmony - her real name is totally impossible to pronounce in any form other than musical harmonic melody.
Jolly is kept so busy with her jolly super important missions around the universe, her tireless settling of disputes and full-scale wars between neighbouring worlds, that she simply hasn't time to write her own introduction - though being so jolly super I'm sure she could if she really wanted to, she's just way too modest to talk about herself !
When I moved north to Wirral at the age of ten I had a tricky time adjusting to a new and difficult way of life, until I met Sue Pirgle, a mysterious and entertaining young lady with piercing blue eyes and a joyful passion for life that captivated me like some beguiling super power !
As my friend, muse and inspiration she ignited a spark of creativity within me so strong my work literally sprung into life before me - an experience I found embarrassing to manage at first and tried hard to keep to myself !
While studying at Elaine Avison's International 3A (a top secret specialist organisation based in the otherwise ordinary looking Quarry Mount Middle School) an incident occurred in which a new species of giant butterfly was seen flying around the school one sunny afternoon, looking uncannily like some I'd painted earlier, following a particularly uplifting Dance and Drama lesson. Soon after, we were introduced to a new and impossibly young looking bespectacled Art Teacher by the name of Miss Jolly, who, for reasons I dared not imagine at the time, took an instant shine to me and went totally out of her way to encourage my interest in art.
What I didn't realise then was that she was actually an alien space heroine called Jolly Super Girl - many thousands of years old, originally from the distant planet Vorusia, reborn again and again on many worlds as different people - and on a mission around the galaxy to bring about universal peace and harmony.
Nothing could have prepared me for the biggest revelation of all though, when Miss Jolly removed her special glasses that hypnotically disguised her true appearance to anyone who looked at her, she turned out to be the mysterious young friend I'd met the year before, Sue !
From then on, I was enlisted into her ranks as one of her soldiers of Universal Peace and Harmony - from which there was no going back !
She travels the cosmos in search of like-minded people of all species to join her on her mission to bring love and peace to the troubled universe. She has inspired an ever growing force for good across the whole of space and time.
It has always been an honour when she's been able to pop by this way and stay for some time at our humble abode.
Apart from the Transcendental Castle, where we all currently live, Jolly Super has a multitude of other fortresses around the cosmos to work from too, but her most permanent home is the organic, sentient ship, Psychedella. This wonderful being of incredible beauty and grace strides majestically through the stars singing beautiful lilting songs as she goes and is always singing gentle lullabies at night when parked high above the castle.
These are her arrangements of the music which underscores the whole of creation - and upon which she rides the waves as she travels far and wide to distant worlds.
