When they were children, Alura and Astra took pleasure in confusing their parents, due to their almost identical appearance. As an adult, Alura become a judicator and was put in charge of administering justice in the maximum-security prison Fort Rozz. She fell in love with a member of the science guild named Zor-El, who she later married. Eventually she gave birth to a daughter, Kara. Coming home late after sentencing a Hellgrammite who had been brought to the citadel, Alura went into Kara's room, asking her why she was still up. After being told by her daughter that she simply wanted to see her, Alura went on to explain why she had been working so late when asked by Kara.

Sentencing Astra to Fort Rozz
After Astra learned that Krypton was dying because of its resources being too heavily exploited, she tried to prevent it by rebelling against the government and committing several extreme crimes to the point that her husband and second-in-command Non killed a guard while under her command. Knowing Kara was the only person Astra would trust enough to meet, Alura suggested to Kara that she use her spy beacon to contact her aunt.[3] When Astra came to see Kara, Alura pleaded with her sister to turn herself in, promising to speak to the council on her behalf.
Sending Kara to Earth
Alura and her husband, Zor-El, sent their daughter Kara to Earth as their home planet was dying. Before sending her off, Alura told Kara that the trip would be long, but that she would sleep for most of it and that they'd be with her in her dreams, mentioning to Kara that'd she have extraordinary abilities on Earth, due to its yellow sun. She gave Kara her necklace before the latter boarded her ship, leaving right before the planet self destructed.
Guide on Earth
After battling her aunt Astra and saving Alex and "Director Henshaw", Alex revealed to Kara that a program downloaded from Kara's pod contained an A.I. in the holographic form of her mother who Kara would be able to seek advice and speak with, however, most of the time the program is unresponsive and refuses to divulge classified information.
Abilities
- Kryptonian physiology : Normally, like all Kryptonians, Alura's capabilities were no greater than a normal human of her physical conditioning. However, if she had been charged by the energy of a blue or yellow sun and metabolized into her body, she would have become able to perform various inhuman feats. However this never happened as she wasn't ever exposed to a sun different to the the Kryptonians' natural red one.
- High-level intellect / Master lawyer : Alura was a highly respected judicator, put in charge of administering justice in Krypton's maximum-security prison, Fort Rozz. Her ability to use the legal system to her advantage allowed her help others and herself both inside and outside the court, serving as an exemple for her daughter, Kara. However she was also a gifted tactician and a ruthless manipulator, perfectly able to deceive even her loved ones in order to achieve her ends.
- Multilingual : Alura was capable of fluently speaking English and Kryptonese.
