[b]| [color=9f6bc2]Character You're Applying For[/color] |[/b]
[indent][color=silver]Barbara "Babs" Gordon [b]//[/b] Batgirl[/color][/indent]
[b]| [color=9f6bc2]Age[/color] |[/b]
[indent][color=silver] 14[/color][/indent]
[b]| [color=9f6bc2]Powers And Abilities[/color] |[/b]
[indent][color=silver]
[b]Acrobatics:[/b]
[indent]As a kid with a lot of energy, a knack for finding high places and tiny spaces, and a whole lot to prove, Babs made herself something of a name about town with her gymnastic ability. AKA hardcore parkour. If only it weren't for that tendency to skip classes, she might be an Olympic shoe-in in a few years.[/indent]

[b]Martial Artistry:[/b]
[indent]When it turned out gymnastics wasn't quite enough to curb the attitude, Gordon signed his kid up for martial arts, too. Figured it couldn't hurt, and any daughter of his was damn sure going to know how to protect herself. Mostly karate and tae kwon do, but her favorite is boxing.

This got dialed up to 11 after [i]The Incident[/i].[/indent]

[b]Eidetic Memory:[/b]
[indent]Not that Babs isn't smart, she's just...not Oracle, or not yet. She's quick on her feet, pragmatic, intuitive. But mostly, she's got crazy good recall. Any moment she's experienced she can essentially re-experience at a whim. It's got its pros and cons.[/indent]

[b]GADGETS [she's rich]:[/b]
[indent]We all saw the Justice League movie with Gal Gadot (and others, I guess?), right? And there's that kind of smarmy exchange between Ben Affleck and KF or whatever is name is?

Same same. Not [i]rich[/i], maybe, but she's got a [s]solid[/s] good line of Batarangs and more, and she knows how to use 'em.[/indent]
[/color][/indent]

[b]| [color=9f6bc2]Origin And Backstory[/color] |[/b]
[indent][color=silver]Perhaps more of an amalgamation of Babs and Kate than originally intended. This Babs still lives with Commissioner Gordon, a divorced former semi-official Green Beret and vague "Special Forces" vet.

Let's say she was visiting a distant cousin abroad at age 12, and instead of being kidnapped and ransomed with her mother and twin sister, a lá Kate, she was kidnapped and ransomed with the daughter of Gordon's friend and former squadmate. The daughter was lost, and [s]Kate[/s] Barbara was determined never to put herself, or anyone else in that position again.

Fast forward a few years, Babs sees an easy way to get around Gordon's otherwise super strict curfew. She'd been hearing about the Bat and other costumed do-gooders (her dad still insisted on calling them vigilantes...though that word had shifted in the last year or so) for sometime when his little sidekick showed up. And hell, if all it took to do something other than sit around and wait to be old enough to join a GPD she knew Gordon only just managed not to bitch about was an aerial walk or two...well, why not try her hand at it? Babs had always had a rebellious streak and now she had a grudge to match. 

And [i]goddamn[/i] did the one they called Batwoman look good in a skin-tight suit.

It was lucky Bruce found her first, probably. He didn't turn her into her dad, so that was something. Still, though. The guy made 'straight-laced' sound like a heroine bender. 

And what was the point of wearing a mask if you were just gonna go by the rules anyway?

[b]| [color=9f6bc2]Summary of Version Differences[/color] |[/b]
[indent][color=silver]Crafted after an era of my late teenage years (and most of my 20s, tbh) spent lusting after Kate Kane. The Barbara Gordon who was smart, quick, and restless enough to play vigilante to an overbearing father figure while her [i]actual[/i] father publicly decried her actions (for a time). [b][i]OR[/i][/b] the Barbara Gordon who looked up to Batwoman instead of Batman. 

Down with the patriarchy.
