Erika is a young Half Japanese American girl. She resembles her father greatly, but overall her facial features just slightly give away her Asian heritage as she has her mother’s eyes and hair. She stands at 5’5” with a weight akin to a girl of her height and size who engages in strenuous physical exercise. Meaning, she’s pretty strong and tough notable by her musculature and overall appearance. Her civvies range through various outfits from conservative to somewhat showy and she often has a purse, though this is mostly to hold her uniform which also consists of the Red Hood helmet and a very well fitting black leather Jacket. Aside from that she also has a utility belt, notable smaller than other Bat Family members, likely because it holds considerably less.
Name: Erika Todd
Alias: Red Hood
Age: 18
Gender: Female
-----------------------------------------------
Abilities/Skills: Erika’s skill set matches that of her late father, due to training from him as well as her “uncle” Dick Grayson, the current Batman. However, as the list is told, her abilities are far more akin to those of her more recent mentor Dick Grayson, even if she does utilizes her father’s skills a bit more.
Powers: Being that she is a human, Erika has so superhuman capabilities.
Weaknesses: Erika is a human. Shoot, stab, large falls. She can be killed by conventional mean. It isn’t that hard to understand right?
Equipment: Erika like many others keeps money on her, a wallet really, a special cellphone, designed for her by a friend she coerced into doing so. Most of what she carries is kept in one purse or another. She has a multitude of stylized, red bat theme weapons. Her arsenal greatly resembles those of other Bat Family members. Batarangs, smoke pellets, nitrogen pellets, explosive pellets, etc. Everything is kept compact and small enough to carry around without weighing her down too much. In addition to all of this, she also utilizes various fire arms. On average the only two she has with her are two hand guns, generally holstered and strapped to her hips. But she is proficient with others and may take, or use them when necessary.
Her Red Hood costume is equipment all on its own. It involves a long sleeve flexible, form-fitting body armor, capable of lessening intense impacts and is bullet proof to lower caliber rounds, which cuts off in the same fashion as a leotard so as not to totally get in the way of movement as the lower portion would have been more restricting. Her legs, however, are covered by her jeans and her feet by biker boots. Then, there is her utility belt. Essentially it holds the large items, such as batarangs and some ammo for her guns. It may also hold some trackers and such.
Finally, she wears two masks, the first being a red-domino mask, fixed in place with spirit gum, and includes a built-in radio transmitter/receiver and Starlite night-vision lenses. Her gauntlets and boots each contain eight compartments in which she can store items like the smaller pellets and explosives. Her second mask is a metallic red hood, which offers many of the same functions as her mask, though also adds better protection for her face.

Personality: Erika is about as carefree and laid back as it gets. She likes hanging out, messing with people, a good fight. She essentially a good person at heart, but she believes in killing if necessary to get a job done. The occasional robbery to make a living instead of working is also fine with her. She’s generally not one to get angry. Maybe snarky. Maybe have an attitude. But generally she doesn’t really get angry. She makes others angry. Especially if she has a special reason too. Overall, she likes to do things her way and live by her rules. Not much more to it than that.
History: Erika was the result of a time in which Jason Todd decided to make the attempt to settle down. He’d met woman. She was beautiful to him. In all honestly, he’d been in the middle of an important mission. It just kind of happened. He saw her again. And then again. The two fell in love. He’d decided to settle down just like that. He didn’t want to put his new love in danger. It was a somewhat simple life for a while.
When the two conceived her, and Erika was born nothing made them happier. Jason hadn’t really gotten into trouble. So things were simple. Though, two well-known gangs in Gotham, Mafias really were quickly growing in power. The problem was that The Bat Family couldn’t handle everything. It wasn’t like when Bruce was in charge. Still, Jason had washed his hands of this. At least, He had thought he did. The thing was, Jason couldn’t stand letting the scum of Gotham do as he pleased. One night he was walking with his wife and daughter when he came across a little extortion op. He had them go ahead a bit just before breaking it up. He broke a few bones, and busted a few skulls.
With that is should have ended. He just wanted to help the little old lady who owned the place. Besides, he couldn’t just stand by and watch. He wasn’t some heartless bastard. Not anymore anyway. About a week went by. Nothing. Soon a month… Then two. That’s when it happened. Somehow one of the idiots figured out who he was and where he lived. They didn’t know he was the Red Hood, but that didn’t matter. He’d wronged them and they wanted him dead. That Erika’s mother died. Jason wanted revenge. He knew now that this life wasn’t meant for him. But he had Erika to think about. So he brought her to the only person he could.
Dick Grayson agreed to take Erika in. That was the last time she saw Jason. It was just before he left on his final mission. To this day those two gangs are almost nonexistent. Sure there are other gangs, but those two are pretty much gone. Eviscerated that night. Meanwhile, Erika began to grow up in the mansion. She was often alone. Nightwing had a daughter and Bruce was there, but she was always away from them all. Well almost always. See, she had begun some training with Jason so she could defend herself. Nightwing picked up on that. Helped her, and then made her Robin. During this time there were a few instances when she played with his daughter, but only a few.
As time passed Dick would soon come to know how much like her father Erika was. She was wild and a bit brutal to the point that he wasn’t sure if he could continue to do this. But she made that decision herself. Erika had pretty much isolated herself from anyone who was Dick. Even then she only saw him when they went out. She had her own ideas. A little theft, dishing out asskickings. In the end she ended up killing a man. He’d escaped three times and killed nearly a dozen people. Dick was furious, but she felt she was right. That was three years ago. That was when she left. She lives on her own now. She makes her living and handles herself. She makes her own rules. Occasionally she had wondered if she was missed. Maybe not though. Oh well. How she lives now and what she does is all up to her.
