[color=999999]The Black Canary is one of my favorite heroines in comic books. I loved her first adaptation, I love her current adaptation, and I enjoy her in shows like Arrow. I feel she is a strong hero despite not having many powers (other than the Canary Cry). She relies on her own skills and isn't afraid to use her looks to get what she wants. She dealt with a lot and I feel I could do her justice in this game.

I have her as a combination of the original Black Canary and the current one, both mother and daughter. Her mother was not the former Black Canary, instead she was just a florist that married her father, Larry Lance, a detective. Growing up, she was often subjected to, along with the other citizens of Gotham, to masked men and women running around, both for the good of the city and the bad. This took a toll on her father, who struggled with both the villains ruining the city and the "heroes" taking over the job of the police. Her mother supported the heroes, citing them as a necessary good the city needs. Things got worse when her mother was killed in an explosion. Her father took it hard and the young Dinah had to start taking care of him. By the time she turned 18, her father passed on, having taken his own life.

She didn't start out as a vigilante until years later when she was 23. She originally wanted to pursue a job in law, but there weren't many opportunities for her. Having both her mother's view and father's view on the heroes, she decided to take up the black leathered, fishnet costume of the Black Canary. She doesn't hide her identity behind a mask, preferring others know and recognize her for her deeds and showing that she is tougher than she looks. She aims to show the world that they are in need of heroes.

She is good at investigation and law, having studied it. She also has the metagene that gives her the Canary Cry. She is good at being stealthy. She also has a friend, Ted Grant (a friend of her father's) who dons the name Wildcat. He taught her Martial Arts from the age of 19 onward. She is also agile and able to perform acrobatics with ease.[/color]
