History
The creators of the Green Lantern Corps, the Guardians, had planned to create their successors, a race of new Guardians on Earth, so one of their number met a female alien called a Zamaron. The two channeled their powers into the "Millennium Project," gathering ten individuals together, teaching them about the nature of the cosmos, and endowing them with immortality and metahuman powers. One of these was a young woman from China named Xiang Po, to whom the Guardians gave the power to draw energy from the Earth's Dragon Lines (mystical energy fields that run throughout the planet). She became Gloss (and a redhead), and joined the other heroes the Guardians had made in the team named (appropriately enough) the New Guardians. When the then powerless Guy Gardner comes to the team's island home in order to take over, she becomes so disgusted with his crass ways she ends up throwing him far into the ocean. Tom Kalmaku tells her that her actions weren't very 'enlightened'...but they were funny.
Gloss was originally on a mission to pass on her enhanced DNA to her offspring, and was seeking a suitable mate, but she abandoned her quest when the team disbanded.
One Year Later
In the events of One Year Later, Gloss is now a Global Guardian, and follows her former teammate Jet who is now team leader.
