[attr="class","rostercat2"](source) Katherine "Kate" Kane, alias Batwoman is the daughter of a Colonel Jacob Kane and Captain Gabi Kane. Her parents were both career military and worked extensively with military intelligence services. Katherine grew up with her parents and her twin sister Elizabeth Kane. As her parents were promoted they moved to a wide variety of towns and bases. Her father was often away from home. The Kane family moved to Brussels in Belgium, since her parents were now serving at NATO. The family however was torn apart due to a terrorist attack. Gabi was taking her daughters for the day, they were kidnapped by heavily armed men from the Religion of Crime. Military intelligence eventually located the hostages, and Jacob was put in charge of the tactical unit that was sent to rescue them. However they were too late as Gabi had been executed along with Elizabeth. Jakob rescued Kate himself, but she was traumatized by the sight of her dead mother and sister. Kate tried to please her father by entering the Marines. At West Point, she roomed with Cadet Captain Sophie "Gimme" Moore, with whom she also entered in a lesbian relationship. Her commander got wind of it, and inquired about it. She confirmed her sexual orientation, but protected Sophie. Per the DADT policy, she was dishonorably discharged. Her father forgave her, and found it more important that she did not lie to save herself. Jacob Kane eventually married weapons heiress Catherine Hamilton. This new wealth established Kate as a socialite in Gotham City's upper crust. She became notorious for her partying and drinking. One night after a party, she was pulled over by officer Renee Montoya. Instead of being fined for drink driving, the two entered in a relationship. They broke up when Renee told her she had no direction in her life, no education, and no apparent goal. She found her purpose soon enough: when she was confronted by a mugger in an alleyway, she was saved by Batman. She decided to become a vigilante too. With her father's help, she traveled all over the planet for two years to learn how to fight. Her father used to family fortune and connections to come up with experimental weaponry. Renee encountered her old flame again when she was researching suspicious activity at a warehouse on 520 Kane Street for the Question. Renee crashed a party at Hamilton manor, and Kate confirmed to her that her family owned the building. It was being leased by Ridge-Ferrick until six weeks earlier. Renee refused to tell Kate what was going on, saying that she didn't owe Kate anything, which shocked Kate and prompted her to tail them as Batwoman. When Renee and the Question broke into Ridge-Ferrick's Gotham offices, they were attacked by Whisper A'Daire's shapeshifting minions, and Batwoman arrived to rescue them. Making quick work of two monsters, Batwoman stopped Renee from shooting the third, instead kicking the monster out a window. Batwoman informed them the police were coming, asked that she not be mentioned, and left. After Renee learned that the Book of Crime, a sacred text of Intergang, contained a prophecy foretelling the brutal murder of the "twice named daughter of Kane," she and the Question returned to Gotham. They contacted Kate by flashing a Bat-Signal, and the three joined forces to avert Intergang's plans. As Kate continued the case, she was joined by Nightwing, who had recently returned to Gotham. On Christmas Eve, he gave her an 'official' Batarang. She also celebrated Hanukkah with Renee, and the two kiss shortly before Christmas. Intergang realized that the image of Batwoman in the Crime Bible and the cited "twice-named daughter of Cain" were one and the same, and ransacked Kate's apartment, kidnapping her with the intention to sacrifice her. Renee found her, seemingly too late to save her, as during the ensuing fight with Bruno Mannheim, Kate pulled the knife out of her own chest to stab Mannheim and then collapsed in Renee's arms. Kate survived her wounds after Renée used pseudoderm to patch up the wound and stop the bleeding, leaving Kate at the hospital in Renée's trenchcoat. [attr="class","rostercatsub2"]HISTORY	[attr="class","rostercat2"]She had a lot of memories she associated with Gotham. Not all were good. And of course the mind tended to remember the bad more than the good. As she got off the plane from Argentina, stepping into Gotham's airport, she couldn't help but think about when she'd been on that plane with Alice - no, Beth. She paused and closed her eyes, taking in a breath. She still wasn't over what had happened, but how could she ever get over it? She'd never fully moved on from seeing her mother and sister dead as a child. But to find out the sister you'd thought was dead was actually alive, an evil crime boss, and that your father knew about it the whole time? That was a little harder to move on from. She hadn't spoken to her father since then. He'd tried to contact her, but she hadn't answered. Even under normal circumstances, she would need her space. But that had been far from normal. She didn't want space from him, she wanted absolutely nothing from him. There wasn't anything he could do or say to make her forgive him. She opened her eyes and let her breath out. Not every memory was bad. Besides, Gotham was her home. It was crawling with so many Bat-themed vigilantes that she wouldn't have been surprised if the city hadn't noticed Batwoman's absence. Either way, she thought they should be glad she was back. One more vigilante to protect them. And she was just as capable as any of the others. As she stepped out of the airport, she took her phone out and sent a quick text to Dick Grayson. She smirked at the text and slipped her phone into her back pocket. She'd been told that Alfred would pick her up. She didn't think she needed any favors from the Waynes nor any help, but Alfred had always been a nice man to talk to. Besides, he could easily update her on the latest to happen in Gotham. So with that, she put on a pair of sunglasses and waited to be picked up. Her text had said it all... Batwoman's back. [attr="class","rostercatsub2"]WRITING SAMPLE
