No, she didn't know who Bane was, nor did she care. At least not until the day he broke into the Stock Exchange, but even she didn't bother herself into caring who he was. He was just some brute who was showing off his power by slipping away from the cops. The idiotic cops of Gotham that went after The Batman rather than pursuing the man who held hundreds hostage for no apparent reason.
It wasn't until the next day that she started to become curious as to who Bane was. She noticed an anomaly, something that wasn't quiet adding up. It was in the newspaper: "Gotham Millionaire, Bruce Wayne, bets all in stocks only to lose everything!" She doubted someone as brilliant as Mr. Wayne would do something as idiotic as that and it happening the day after the Stock Exchange incident couldn't be a coincidence. Had Mr. Wayne gotten himself tangled up with the Masked Mercenary that was now plastered all over the news? Had he made enemies with this mysterious man? If so, what had he done to anger such a large and powerful man?
She started researching, looking for any information she could find on the masked man, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find much. The man was a shadow, the only proof she had that he even existed was that they had footage of him. He was a mercenary, a hired killer. He was often referred to as the Masked Merc, but that's all the information she could scrounge up.
It wasn't long before Bane appeared on television, blowing up a football stadium on a live broadcast. He walked out, his leather jacket draped across his shoulders, his powerful hands gripping the lapels of his bullet proof vest. He spoke to the crowd, telling them that he was Gotham's reckoning. He would give the city back to the good people of Gotham but there were rules. A bomb sat next to him in the field, Bane gestured towards it as he spoke, saying Gotham held the detonator to the bomb. If anyone tried to escape or enter the city, the bomb would go off. He turned towards a man who was standing next to him, asking him his name and occupation.
His name was Leonid Pavil, a nuclear physicist who claimed to be the only man alive who was capable of disarming such a bomb. Once said, Gotham watched in horror was Bane reached out and grabbed the man, twisting his neck to the side and breaking it instantly.
It was then that Gotham was "freed" from the restrictions of the outside that everyone was equal and the wealthy was put on trial for living in luxury while the rest suffered. It was then the city turned to turmoil and hell.
She watched again as Bane released the prisoners from Blackgate Prison, allowing them to once again roam the streets freely, giving most of the prisoners guns to help them on their way. She was appalled at the way Bane was running the city, letting dangerous criminals wander the streets, looking for new prey.
She remained in her apartment the first few days, scared of what she might run into if she went outside. She would watch from her window, people running up and down the streets, cries of terror echoing up to her ears. It was then that she realized what had happened to her city. She was no longer scared, but angry. This wasn't suppose to happen to her city, her Gotham. She wondered how many other people felt the same way and she was going to find out.
Her own revolution had begun.
