Who is Yellow Peri?

Superboy As a child, Loretta York became interested in magic . Her interest led her, as a teenager, to the ruins of a burned down book store. One book had somehow survived the fire - a book of magic spells that York uncovered from the rubble. Using the spells in the magical book, York became the Yellow Peri, using her new found powers to help others, although her magic spells often backfired. When she joined a traveling carnival, it took her to Smallville , where she encountered Superboy . This meeting ended with the boy of steel taking the magic book from York and throwing it into space. Without the book, York lost her powers and the memory of ever being Yellow Peri. Superboy returned her to her home in Apple Creek, Oregon , and not until years later did he encounter Loretta again.
