Hawkgirl
Secret Identity: Charlie Wright
Dual Identity Status: Secret, known only to a few of her friends and her mother.
Base of Operations: St. Roch
Occupation: Has no job given her age
Fame: Her notoriety is increasing almost daily in St. Roch and she has begun to attract the attention of the rest of the U.S. as well.
Influence: None at all.
Age (Approximate): 14
Physical Description: On most days, Charlie will wear bright clothes that help her to stand out. Her friends constantly rib her about her being 4'11" and very scrawny. All of her relatives tell her how cute she is with her shoulder-length blonde hair and sparkling green eyes, and she soaks up the attention.
Costume Description: At first, her costume was similar to Kendra Saunders, the previous Hawkgirl, but her best friend Laura helped her to come up with something a little different. First, to protect her identity, she dons a wig with wavy brown hair and then she pulls a red mask that covers the top part of her face over her head. The mask itself has white lenses in the eyeholes, a tiny, white wing design on the forehead, and a hole in the back to let the wig out. Charlie wears a red, long-sleeved shirt that has a white stripe going all the way from her wrists and connects near the middle of her chest in a stylized 'H'. Her pants are red as well and have white stripes going up the sides and the inseam. She wears a white belt around her waist and a pair of red boots with white stripes going up the front. The gloves on her hands follow a similar pattern. All the material used for the costume was designed with putting Charlie's safety first, meaning she can take a solid hit and keep going. The mask is designed so that she can still hear and see clearly even if she flies at enormous speeds.
Calling: Youthful Exuberance, Thrill-seeker, Protector (her mother ingrained a strong sense of justice in her at a young age)
Hinderances: Being a kid, Charlie lacks any real experience in the world. She is deathly afraid of spiders; whenever one appears near her, she'll practically freeze in fear. Also, if she flies for too long she can grow weary and begin to slow down, making her an easier target to hit.
Personality: Charlie is almost never serious, approaching everything in life with a smirk of confidence, be it taking down criminals or handling a math test. She likes to play tricks on her friends and family, but because she's done this for as long as she's lived, they've grown accustomed to it. Despite having been able to fly for nearly half her life, Charlie still finds ways to be fascinated by her gift.
Personal History: Charlie's history with the Hawks begins when she was a very young girl. Once, when she was pregnant with Charlie, Mr. and Mrs. Wright were at work when a group of terrorists came into their building, taking it over with ease. Though the police tried, they were unable to remove the men from the building, and the terrorists decided they would need to show that they meant business. They took Mr. Wright and threw him out one of the windows, then threatened to take more unless their demands were met. It wasn't long before a reply came in the form of flying vengeance.
Hawkman and Hawkgirl burst into the office building and quickly dispatched the terrorists. At first, Mrs. Wright was angry at the heroes for not being there sooner, but she came to see that they also lived with the guilt of being unable to save that one man. It wasn't long before the widow came to sing praises of the heroes and how they saved her when she was all alone. She remained strong and carried on with help from hers and her late husband's families, and delivered a healthy baby girl four months after that fateful day.
As a child, Charlie was surrounded by all things Hawk-related. She had a stuffed Hawkman toy that she slept with for years, an old Hawkwoman action figure that her mother bought her for her first birthday, a poster of Golden Eagle when she was five…the list goes on. And Mrs. Wright would always tell her daughter the story of how both their lives were saved by the Hawks and why she should aspire to be a hero like them.
Then came the day when she got her chance. When walking home from school one day, Charlie noticed a huge crowd gathered in front of a church; she looked up and saw a man standing on top of the old St. Paul Cathedral. She wanted desperately to find out what was wrong with the man, why everyone was trying to get him to come down, so she tried jumping up to him. It didn't work. She tried a second time. Her jump only went a little higher. When she tried a third time, Charlie rocketed off the ground and high into the air, higher than the old church roof. With her new power, she flew down to the roof and managed to talk the man down from jumping. From that day forward, she became an urban myth: "The Little Angel of St. Roch".
Time passed and her ability to fly grew greater. She could fly extremely fast, faster than any car could drive, and she could fly farther and farther with every passing year. Then came the day when Charlie heard the news that the Hawks had died fighting to save the entire universe from the greatest evil of all. In spite of her sadness, Charlie continued to fly, but this time under a new identity: that of Hawkgirl, her favorite hero of all.

Skills: Along with her ability to fly, Charlie is quite an adept athlete, being a jack of all trades in a sense. She has an innate sweetness and naïveté about her that makes most people like her or develop a fondness for her.
Special Tools or Equipment: Often, when Charlie is fighting, she'll just make use of things she finds on the street (i.e. bricks, metal trashcans, larger pieces of garbage). Even though she knows Hawkman personally, Parker has yet to give her any access to his arsenal of alien tech (for good reason)
