Name: Naomi Delacroix.
Alias: Batgirl. [New]
Age: Seventeen. [17]
Powers/Skills:
- Ninjutsu - Among Naomi's many martial arts training Ninjutsu is her most prominent. Prioritizing stealth and speed. Focusing on striking as minimally as possible, hitting fast and hard before being seen. Assessing the weak points of her opponent and disabling them before they have a chance for retaliation.
- Detective Mindset - The constant brain teasers and problem solving training has sharpened her mind over the years, making her quite astute. She has learned to let little information pass her by without notice. She is constantly formulating plans and ideas for multiple outcomes to any situation she is or could be faced with. This leads to people having trouble surprising and/or successfully lying to her. She is also quite prepared for most situations as they are presented.
- Deadly Combatant - With her extensive knowledge of the human physiology she has become quite deadly; this has often led her to killing her targets as she has a 'kill or be killed' mindset. This is something Bruce and Dick have been trying to lead her out of.
- Acrobatic - Through extensive training Naomi has become quite acrobatic and physically fit. Able to maneuver easily through most environments.
- Utility Belt - Around her waist is an extensive array of tools and gadgets she can employ while fighting crime. Including but not limited to; Batarangs, Smoke Pellets, Grappling Hook, Stun Darts, Stasis Pill, Compact Breach Charge, Flash pellets, Surgical Stapler, and Oxygen Capsule.
- Bodysuit [Armor] - Naomi's body suit is made of top of the line protective fabric. Able to fend off most small caliber rounds and blades. Most small caliber rounds will not pierce the suit though will knock her back and leave quite the bruise.
- Eye Mask - While helping conceal her identity the eye mask also has a drop down visor over the eyes. The visor allows multiple visual enhancements like Night vision, Heat Vision, and interactive interface that assists with locating specific objects within her visual range.
- Katana [Not in use] - Naomi is quite skilled and deadly with bladed weapons, preferring the Katana. Though because of previous acts she is no longer allowed access to the weapon; left shelved in her quarters.
Drawbacks:
- No Powers - Despite her many skills and gadgets Naomi has nothing to fall back on. She has no powers or other worldly abilities. She is simply human.
- Violent - While she isn't exactly blood thirsty and always itching for a fight she does have a problem knowing when enough is enough. When in a combat situation Naomi can, on occasion, become excessive with her means of 'subduing' her target. This is something she is consciously working on.
- "There's no 'I' in 'TEAM', but there is in 'WIN'" - Naomi wouldn't exactly be considered a team player. She tends to think she knows better than other people and will on occasion dismiss their thoughts and concerns. It wouldn't be surprising for Naomi to strike out on her own to try and deal with the issue solo. Again, working on it.
- Insecure - Naomi has a lot of insecurities that often bring about her trying to impress people. This also fueling her non team-player attitude; trying to prove she doesn't need help, that she is strong and capable.
Bio:
Naomi was one of the street kids of Gotham. No father and a bed ridden mother. Naomi practically being on her own all her life has resorted to man illegal activities to get by; most prominently being thievery. Growing up she had a complicated relationship with her mother. Loving her because she was kind to Naomi, caring greatly for her health and happiness. But a hidden disdain for her as well; unable to provide a life for a daughter or even herself. She hates that she feels that way about her. But she had to grow up fast, given no opportunity to be a kid. Forcing her to resort to a life of dirt and crime to get by day-to-day. So she stole food and medicine. Sometimes valuable items to afford that which she couldn't steal. Much of her life fueled by tap water, ramen, and canned foods she could hide in a tattered jacket.
She was around eleven years old when she finally got sick and tired of the day to day five-finger discount food. She wanted more, she needed a warm meal. She needed a big score to set her and her mom up for a while. And the best pickings were Wayne Manor. She knew the risks, but she was desperate. Sneaking in and finding something valuable was easy. Leaving was another story. What she didn't plan for what Bruce Wayne's alternate identity; The Batman. He easily caught the little thief, stopping her out in the courtyard. She tried to make a run for it, thinking he was some old rich guy who couldn't keep up with her young legs. She was terribly mistaken. Tossed on her ass she was stunned. The thoughts of 'how in the hell' running through her mind quite a few times that night.
Naomi didn't know if Bruce had pity for the girl or he saw potential. But one night weeks later Batman appeared before her as she was running down an alley, tin cans clanking in her pockets. He made her an offer; Become the next Batgirl. Naomi thought it was a joke at first, but his patented stoic glare dismissed that rather quickly. Didn't seem like the joking type. Naomi then agreed after some thought, and so began her training.
--Several years passed.
With the fall of the Justice league and Dick Grayson taking over supervision of Naomi she found herself under his tutelage. Dick began to truly notice Naomi's flaws, the same flaws Bruce had told him about. Naomi was obstinate, her younger life forming a strong belief of 'Eat or be eaten'. He did his best to encourage change in her, but ultimately decided the best course was for Naomi to join the newly reformed Teen Titans. Dick thinking the group would be a good influence on the girl.
