Firehair

Firehair Lynn Tehama was a fictional character created by John Starr and Lee Elias, originally published in a number of Western-themed titles via Fiction House. Debuting in Ranger Comics #21 (1945), she occupied the cover spot throughout the late forties and was spun-off into her own magazine on two separate occasions. The character lapsed into the public domain during the 1950s, eventually turning up in the Landmark Universe as a supporting character in the Night Raiders storyline.

Background
Lynn Cabot was the daughter of a wealthy Boston businessman killed by outlaws posing as Native Americans. Found by Little Ax, son of Sioux Chief Tehama, she was given the adoptive name Firehair, eventually becoming an expert archer, hunter and tracker. Excelling in every aspect of tribal life, she rode a horse named Devil-Eye and worked as a fur trapper to earn a living. During the early part of her career, she would protect her people from anyone who dared to exploit or harm them.

Empire City
Following the Great Sioux War of the 1870s, Lynn found herself permanently separated from her adopted family and drifted east to establish a new life. Despite inheriting a fortune from her late Father's estate, she still craved adventure and settled down near the ghost town of Shackle Ridge, a few miles north of Empire City. Chance encounters with The Night Raiders led to a close friendship with Hurricane Belle, ultimately joining her in battle during The Season of Darkness. When Belle ultimately left for England with Professor Herron, she bequeathed ownership of The Longhorn Tavern to Lynn, asking her to "keep an eye on the place" in her absence. Historical records become somewhat sketchy after that, though "Firehair Lynn" is known to have run the Tavern as late as the 1910s, prior to its final conversion into The Palais Royale.
