Moves
Time for the show:
When you put on a flamboyant display of your powers, roll + Superior. On a 7-9, name one NPC present. On a 10+, name two NPCs present. The named NPCs must either volunteer help or information, express admiration, or ask for your help, GM’s choice. On a miss, your display catches someone watching in the wrong way.
Cold and Cruel:
When you shut someone down, roll + Superior. On a 10+, you either inflict a condition on them, make them lose Influence over you, or take Influence over them, your choice. On a 7-9, you either each inflict a condition on the other, or both lose Influence over each other, your choice. On a miss, they gain Influence over you.
Team Moves
When you share a triumphant celebration with someone, say whether it’s part of the show or not. If it is, then you can shift your Labels as you choose. If it is not, then they shift your Labels, and you can clear a condition or mark potential.
When you share a vulnerability or weakness with someone, ask them if they will tell anyone the truth about you. If they agree to keep it a secret, clear a condition or mark potential. If they don’t agree, the GM shifts your Labels.

Backstory
Lenore controls sound. She can sing with perfect pitch, yes, and shatter glass (and some other substances) with her voice, but she controls sound. Feels it, knows it. She can sense anyone who hears her voice through it, and she can travel through it to them. Even when her sound travels by other means for a while - so her fans watching live performances on TV can have that little hope that she could pop into their room and sing for a bit. She's actually done this with particularly cute fans. When she's heroing, she's always singing, or at least humming, and that way she knows where everyone around her is, even in pitch blackness. Sure, in the darkness she can be heard, but she can also throw her voice a bit, and bounce around really fast.
Her personal style is goth-rock with a hint of pop, and she performs entirely in her superhero identity.
Karyn Selwyn was not a popular girl, but she wanted to be. But her family didn't have a lot of money, and she was more than a bit of a nerd, and mean girls were... exactly that. She thought things were changing for the better in her senior year of high school. She was the choir president, not that that meant a whole lot in the school heirarchy, but there were at least some kids who looked up to her. And then she found out that she was in the running for homecoming queen... though she didn't have a date, and wasn't sure that she'd want to bring a boy, anyway. And then she won. ...and then they pulled a Carrie on her.
Fortunately, what followed was not a whirlwind of blood and tears, but in her anguish something broke open, and as she was screaming and sobbing she was popping around the ballroom giving all the bitches and assholes a piece of her mind.
Her family was able to afford to relocate to Aman and hire a huckster 'power researcher' to 'prove' that it was all a hallucination caused by some other cape using the prank played on her as an opening to cause chaos. Aside from the team, only her parents know the truth and they're suspicious of the PRT and other government organizations.
Since then, she's leveraged her voice and her power into a costumed singing career... and superhero career, of course.
