| There is a flaw to her ability: the cry has been shown to be completely useless when her mouth is covered with a gag, piece of tape, or any other means of forcing her mouth closed.
On top of her "Power" flaw, she has a flaw that is rather normal. She is almost the polar opposite of Oracle. She has little knowledge of computers, and personally they happen to piss her off. So she has a tendency to avoid them whenever she can.

| She has plenty of Enemies. Abnegazar. Ace. Aku Kwesi, Bane, Bizarro, Black Adam, Black Alice, Blockbuster, Charybdis. The list goes on and on. Really, any enemy of the people, is an enemy of Canary. | She has several Allies. Of those that she works most closely with, that would be Oracle, and Green Arrow. |
| She has her moments with Catwoman. Very, oh so very briefly, she experienced a moment with Batman. They shared a kiss after he saved her life. The kiss was a mutual sort of thing but it was left at that. Since then Catwoman hasn't exactly been Miss Kitty Sunshine with her. | She has a fondness for Batman, and the Boy Wonder. Even though he takes to cleaning the streets, she is always there as a shadow, an afternote to make sure that any that escape the Bat's radar is doesn't escape for long. |
| * She had earned herself an additional nickname. "The Blonde Bombshell." It's all thanks to her choice of attire. A modern take on her mother's orginial outfit. Black bustier resting over top of a black tank top, slinky bottoms, and the tradmark fishnets. All finished off with a short leather jacket, and amazing knee high leather boots. What's a woman warrior without delicious footwear? She is seen with rich blonde hair which falls in curls around her shoulders.( A wig attached very well.) She had bright baby blues that could make a man melt. ( All thanks to contact lenses.) She is a beautiful woman and sometimes she doesn't need to break out the super powers when feminine charm works just as nicely. |
The Black Canary come to light at the tender age of 19. A young woman was graced with a new ability that happened during a fight with her mother. It is speculated that an extra piece of ligament over her vocal chord ruptured giving her the same ability that her mother possessed. There were some issues with the girl donning her mother's old costume, but ultimately it was her choice, and one she had never regretted making.
Since she started her career as Black Canary she had met several people, and there is one in particular she had grown attacked to. Oracle. She is the peace keeper within the group that is called Birds of Prey. Oracle is the backbone of the group, ( no pun intended) and without her Canary wouldn't be able to do the things that she does. Thanks to Oracle's funding, Canary is able to make sure herself, and her bike are all up to intense world of crime fighting.

Character Name: Dinah Laurel Lance
Age: 20
Occupation: Florist, Judo instructor
Appearance: She has lengthy black hair that frames a pretty face with sharp angles. She has a wealth of curls that settle around her shoulders and typically falls over her right eye. When her hair is pulled back one can see the shape of her eyes are rather cat-like. She has dark chocolate eyes, and seems rather exotic, though her skin is a tad-bit pale.
She stands at 5'4" tall, 115 lbs in weight. A bit on the shorter side of the spectrum, but when she actually dons a pair of heels she stands at a stunning 5'8. Her body has the perfect fat to muscle ratio. There is not an ounce that isn't put where it should be, leaving her stomach taut, and her hips flowering out in that sensual hour-glass figure that so many women try hard to achieve. She typically dresses in accordance to her comfort levels. She is most often seen in an altered rock t-shirt of some sort, and a pair of jeans. On rare occasion when she feels like spicing it up, she'll throw on some leather pants. The rarest sight of all, is her in a dress. She has donned one occasionally for one of Bruce Wayne's fantastic parties.
Personality: At time she can be a bit sarcastic. She is incredibly protective of those she knows needs the help- even at the risk of her own health/sanity/happiness. With her protectiveness, that flowers out to another branch, she is known, and quick to anger at insults to her friends/family.Given her history with her father, and her training she had become a rather put together tactian. She is very flirtatious when it time is right. She can be impatient, when she wants to do, or have something done, it's best just to go ahead and do it. She can not stand procrastination. She is the typical woman, and that shows with everything that she does.
Deep down she has a pure love for the artistic side of her life. Flowers. She can name off all sorts, and offer suggestions for a gift, to simple decoration. She is truly apt at the creation process of visual pleasure in the form of flora.
History: She grew up in a special household in the depths of Gotham City. The type that was filled with gifted individuals. Her father was detective that worked along-side of Commisioner Gordon. Her mother was equally as talented within the realm of protection. In her situation she learned that some secrets are better kept just that. Dispite the deceit that she was taught, she didn't have any sort of issues in school.
Everything seemed normal. She was the typical girl growing up. She used to be a Daddy's girl, tagging along after school on some of his cases. This would prove to be beneficial when she got older. She graduated high school. Not top of her class, but not at the bottom either. She opted to go to a local college. There she met her ex husband. Craig Windrow. She was only 18. He was a smooth talker with rushing hands, and roaming fingers. She fell for it hook line and sinker. She married him very quickly six weeks into the relationship. She was young and naive...it happens occasionally. Well the marriage only lasted for nine months. She found that he wasn't quit the man that he made himself out to be. He was a gambling addict and ended up getting funds from less than favorable people. She ended the marriage.
Her family wasn't too happy with her, having tied the knot and parted with him before death. That lead to a really nasty fight with her mother. Their relationship strained, but not broken...Dinah decided that it was time for her to move out and live life in her own way. Dinah has had several jobs. The worse one was as a bartender. She had ended up involved or witnessing a few bad fights, and that quickly removed her from the industry.
In the more recent times, she has spotted a hero named Green Arrow. This inspired her to open up her own flower shop which is named "
Sherwood Florist". A little homage to the man who risks his life for the good of the people.
