Qu'est-ce qu'il y a?( "Entrez le titre de l'image ici")
C'est drôle d'être l'une des capes à plein temps de la grotte; tout pourrait être une occasion de s'entraîner. C'était irritant, et habituellement est venu quand vous le vouliez pour la dernière fois; Steph a eu assez de temps avant que les gens ont commencé à se montrer pour aller 'en bas' et jouer avec sa ceinture de chargement, re-calibrer le pistolet grapple, re-charger les torches laser--petites choses qui ont juste besoin de faire. C'est pendant ce petit peu de pression à temps que Stephanie s'est retrouvée enfermée hors de l'ordinateur Bat. Steph avait toujours été douée pour les puzzles et les maths. Elle était la fille d'Arthur Brown, après tout. Qu'est-ce qu'une demi-heure de navigation des protocoles de mot de passe et de manipulation des commandes personnalisées Bruce ne savait même pas qu'elle le savait?
Malgré l'irritation de la boucle aléatoire à sauter à travers, Steph ne pouvait pas nier la satisfaction de faire le tour en probablement la moitié du temps que Bruce s'attendait à ce qu'elle l'emporte. Sans un remplacement approprié pour Alfred, les quelques-uns d'entre eux vivant à Wayne Manor ont fait ce qu'ils pouvaient. Lorsque des alertes pour intrus ont surgi sur la grande gamme de moniteurs, Steph a été sade lorsqu'elle a vu l'image de Dick et Barbara, rejetant l'alerte avec l'une des touches personnalisées ci-dessus mentionnées de Bruce's et une gorgée de son café, une grosse tasse noire avec un Batsymbol jaune sur elle. La fuite était la clé.
Elle s'est sentie un peu bête de passer par la porte cachée à l'image d'une bibliothèque, de passages cachés dans de vieilles demeures, manteau et poignard... ce n'était pas étonnant que Steph n'ait pas vécu au Manoir à temps plein, et seulement pendant le semestre. Et, tu sais, parce que ça a non seulement facilité l'université, mais d'être Batgirl infiniment plus pratique. Dans Wayne Manor, si vous ne vous emmeniez pas à 6h du matin, ecchymoses et saignements, alors vous ne le faisiez pas bien. Pas chez Wayne Manor. Sauf Selina--elle a reçu un laissez-passer, pour des raisons évidentes.
Portant la même chose qu'elle était allée en classe plus tôt (une blouse pourpre foncée de soie de sable avec des manches tranchées et un cou dégoulinant, des collants noirs et des sandales plates décorées en améthystes), Steph ouvrit la gauche des deux grandes portes de chêne avant, en mouvementant les deux entrées dans la salle principale de la grande manse, un sourire mêlé à la douleur de l'exposition à l'air wintry de Gotham.
"Hé! Je vous connais tous les deux." "Ici, pour une nuit de boisson et de joyeuse fabrication?... si c'est le cas, vous pourriez vouloir l'un des autres domaines géants à Gotham Heights." Stephanie s'est retrouvée en train de sourire après la fissure, en déplaçant les gens vers l'étude primaire avant de fermer la porte, et en laissant le froid dehors. « Nous avons fait nettoyer et réapprovisionner l'endroit récemment. Bien que, vous savez, soyez à l'affût des fléchettes empoisonnées et des pièges...Damian et ses jeux."
Tu veux qu'elle t'explique? Bien sûr que non.
"Je ne sais pas où sont les autres. On se rapproche sûrement de nous, maintenant. "Boire?"

**Personality & History:**
Stephanie Brown started life as just another smart-assed Gotham City girl, born in the lower middle class scrum of inner Gotham City living to Arthur and Crystal Brown. For the majority of her young life, Arthur Brown was more an absentee father than proper parent. Arthur was no dead beat dad, no alcoholic, or womanizer--he was a masked villain that went by the alias of Cluemaster. Though the Cluemaster was able to confound the Gotham City Police Department, there would be no out foxing Gotham's new Dark Knight.
Thanks to Batman, Stephanie's father would spend the vast majority of her childhood behind bars for one crime, or another. Interestingly enough, Stephanie never blamed Batman for this--she blamed her idiot father. Despite this, Steph and her mother had a decent life, all things considered. Her mother worked as a nurse and took enough shifts to take care of their needs, and to take care that Steph barely saw her, too. This lifestyle would turn Steph into an incredibly independent young woman, learning she could never depend on anyone but herself.
Later in her adolesence Arthur Brown would finally return home, and declare himself a reformed man. Happy to hear it and hoping it was a new leaf for her father, but refusing to trust him, Stephanie began stalking her father due to her suspicions. It wasn't long before her father disappointed his little girl yet again, this time for the last time. This time it wasn't the Batman who put an end to Cluemaster's newest crime spree...it was a purple clad, never born seen, vigilante that simply called herself 'the Spoiler.'
Though unsanctioned by the Bat or his Cavelings, Steph found quitting the vigilante game much more difficult than she expected. It wasn't long before she was brushing capes with the likes of Robin and Nightwing. After a friendship and partnership developed with Tim Drake, then Robin, even Batman himself was forced to contend with the fearless daughter of Arthur Brown--a daughter that had inherited Arthur's intellect. In short time even Batman would have to admit her talents, leading to multiple stints for Stephanie as Robin, and multiple 'firings', before the big man finally trusted Steph enough to bring her on full time, not as Spoiler or Robin, but the new Batgirl.
A mantle Stephanie is determined to put her unique 'stamp' on...
**Impressions**
_Batman:_ You gotta feel for this guy, right? Talk about a bad hand of cards dealt to you at the start of the game. Bruce is getting better, I think; starting to realize there's either a life AFTER Batman, or there simply will never be life AFTER Batman, and that choice is entirely his...
_Catwoman:_ My bad girl icon. It's actually a little sad to think that the Catwoman I grew up watching from a distance is likely gone from Gotham City for good. Good for private art collections all over the city, bad for having cool anti-heroes in the shadows of Gotham City nights.
_Grayson:_ The boy scout with a bad side. I'm always a little worried his true focus left Gotham City ages ago, instead worrying after star-crossed Titans, and being a reservist for the Justice League. But considering I may know Dick the least out of all the Bat-fam, best to wait and see what comes of this one.
_Barbara:_ My living, breathing, Warning Sign. Wonder what happens to the Robins and Batgirls that get taken out? Look no further than Babs; both for what happens, and how to turn getting taken out into anything but the END of your story. Sure as hell not the end of Bab's story, as she continues to re-write what's possible seemingly using nothing but the power of her own human will. You go, girl. And, hey, she gave me her blessing for Batgirl.
_Jason Todd:_ Sometimes I think Jason's around the Cave JUST IN CASE anyone here forgets how to brood. Because, you know, can't be having Batcaves without brooding. It just would not do, as Alfred was so fond of saying. So that's my suspicion why Todd's still hanging around. It's either that, or not even death gets you out of the Batcave rollcall. Needless to say, I don't trust him.
_Tim:_ The gorgeous guy with the super-fine mind and the athleticism, not to mention body, of an NFL All-Star. Not a bad ex-boyfriend, even if I say so myself--which I TOTALLY do! Tim's still the same sweet soul I remembered before I shocked everyone by suddenly appearing as if by magic, and taking on the Batgirl mantle. To say this confused Tim is something of an understatement, I'm afraid. He knows I dig the superhero game. He knows I'm probably in it for the rest of my life. Let's just hope 'the rest of my life' at least lets me reach my 30s.
_Kate Kane:_ Oh, just an uber-wealthy red haired hottie that's decided I'm her college campus pal. And here I thought the Cave was where all the weird shit in my life would go down. Whatever Kane's reasons, I'm actually glad to be her campus pal; she's fun, likes talking as much as I do, and is utterly fearless. Sometimes I think there's more to her than meet's the eye...although judging by Kate's many campus admirers, what does meet the eye on Kate Kane might just keep her plenty busy.
_Damian:_ Talk about rough starts to life. I'm not sure which is worse; having the Cluemaster as your father, or having the Batman as your father. At least the Cluemaster would eventually give it up. The Batman? May only 'give it up' if he dies. That's the cold, harsh, black and white reality in which this kid exists. And in a competition between mothers, I'm well aware my mom is a huge win over Damian's crazy-fuck mom. Believe it or not, I think women kinda freak him out, especially strong women who AREN'T crazy-fuck and evil. It's like the poor kid's brain just can't compute such a thing.
Oh well. I'm nice to him when he lets me be.
**Story Arc:**
_The New Bird._
As the newest addition to the Bat family, Stephanie is still trying to find her place, feeling as if she has to 'justify' the decision to hand her the 'Batgirl' mantle. For the first time in her life, Steph wants to see this through to the end--and having already 'died' as Robin once, she knows exactly what 'the end' means for members of the Bat family. Something of a mixture of all past Robins and Batgirls; with a smarter mouth than all past members combined...lucky Bruce. Despite her reputation, the new Batgirl has proven herself equal parts resourceful, cunning, and too violent to be ignored.
Whether she likes it or not, Gotham's goons, and their villain bosses, have begun to talk about the new bird in the Gotham night sky. It's only a matter of time until Batgirl is tested to her core by the likes of the Joker, or Two-Face. Whether Batman thinks she's ready for that, or not.
