Character Information
Name: Stephanie Brown Canon: DC New 52 Age: 17 Gender: Female Canon Point: End of Batman Eternal #52 Background Link:Here is the only arc she’s appeared in thus far, so they don’t have a singular history page for her yet. Inventory: Spoiler Uniform, in a backpack: shirt, pants, gloves, boots, cape w/hood all in sturdy material, thigh belt and utility belt, filter mask – presumably not automated. Wearing: pink hoodie, jeans, sneakers, t-shirt.
Personality: When we’re first introduced to Stephanie she seems to have a positive (or at least neutral) relationship with both of her separated parents. This is key in understanding her future actions: she begins with trust and love for both her mother and father, and is comfortable with her life in the suburbs split between the two of them. While she has the instincts to be afraid when she walks in on a room full of low-tier villains, she trusts her father enough that she doesn’t immediately turn and run. Even given enough evidence to realize that her mother is in on the plan, she really wants to trust her mother when she finds herself at the house again. However, given that she does not return again afterwards she is clearly realistic about her parents’ involvement in the plans against her life.
She has some physical prowess even before being run off from her own home, as shown when she breaks into and then escapes from her father’s home. She leaps over a table, climbs a bookshelf stocked with nothing heavier than cans of soup and slips through a ventilation window all under gunfire from her own father and his friends. Although the transition from girl-on-the-run to masked vigilante is not shown, we see that at least some of her athletics come from a childhood of recklessness. She was a daredevil child who never seemed overly bothered to break a few bones.
She is confident enough in herself and her knowledge of her home to walk alone at night between her mother and father’s house, a distance which must be somewhat considerable to warrant her father dropping her off by car. It also takes a certain amount of confidence and gusto to put together a superhero getup and stand up to the man who both raised you and pointed a gun at your head. When she decides to cut and run out of Gotham it isn’t cowardice that drives her, but a bitterness towards the city that took her family from her and turned on her when she needed it most.
While she may not generally be the untrusting sort, Steph is incredibly careful, especially when it comes to her own survival. In fact, she is quicker to trust Catwoman who at the very least doesn’t want her immediately dead than Batman, whose reputation is good but allegiance is in question. Not even the friendship of the younger people under his care is enough to convince her that he’s someone she can trust without getting proof on her own. In truth it isn’t any trust in Batman or his cause that brings her back to the battlefield when she would have fled, but a trust in her new friend Harper. It’s Harper’s words in combination with a stranger’s assistance that shame her into coming back to finish what her father started.
Harper’s initial opinion of Steph is that she’s spoiled, self-centered and a jerk. While it may be true that she’s had a comfortable life and is perhaps a little bit spoiled (pun not intended), she never argues the point. She understands why someone like Harper might think the worst of someone like herself, and doesn’t hold that against her. She does however return Harper’s attitude with her own – she isn’t someone who lets people walk all over her, however much she might understand why they’re trying to.
Most importantly, Steph is clever. She’s smart enough to fake unconsciousness while the villains are revealing their entire plan, despite the alarming new knowledge that her father is planning to destroy the city. She manages to activate one of his smoke bombs and escape, gather the resources she needs and survive on her own in a hostile environment for months with no help or contact with her parents. Her street smarts and confidence are backed up by a more academic intelligence, evidenced by her relatively successful blog and her ability to use twitter to schedule a rescue from Batman. While she may not be able to talk an online audience onto her side, she is more than capable of gathering and sifting through information effectively.
Having realized that both of her parents have turned against her, Steph’s response is not one of helpless despair but determination. Being told by her father that she’s a disappointment is a sharp blow, and she becomes set on proving herself to him. While this may seem likely to turn her into a villain, from start to finish she works against her father. If she ever had any intention of joining her father in her work, she wouldn’t have published his plans online the moment she got the chance. Instead her attempts to prove herself are more linked to her own self-worth, and an attempt to cope with new knowledge about him. She ties to hold on to what’s left of their relationship and consequently her own childhood. It’s only once she’s attained the approval she so longed for that she realizes she doesn’t need or want it. She finally turns on him just as he turned on her, determined to make her own way in the world.
Flavor Abilities: N/A
Suitability: Stephanie is a resourceful young woman who just spent several months on the run with no preparation whatsoever. From her arrival she'll be in serious survival mode, ready to locate food, shelter, warmth and weaponry. While she is intensely distrusting of everyone in Gotham, she has no reason to think assassins are after her here and will be more open to cooperating with her peers. She's a journalist at heart (even if she doesn't have the skill set) and will be eager to gather and distribute information about her surroundings and everyone in them. She will also publish any inferences or theories that arise. She will likely become the local Wikipedia, complete with inaccurate information which may end up being dangerous.
