Nightwing

NAME: Lisa Drake
ALIASES: Nightwing
AGE: 21

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Lisa is in greater athletic shape than her bookish nature and more modest attire would let on. She looks even younger than she is, seeming to have stopped ageing in the 'girl next door' phase. She stands about 5'5" tall and has a slender build with strong legs due to her militia training. She has dark brown hair that hangs around her shoulders and dark blue eyes. She often dresses well when around the tower, wearing full clothes that hide her curves and make her look even more girlish.

When Lisa is in her Nightwing Endgame suit, her gender is impossible to identify and it is all too easy to assume she is male. The suit is all function over form, with thick plating that fully obscures any curves, and a voice synthesizer to further mask her identity. On the back is mounted a jet pack and a set of extendable wings that allows her flight.

BIOGRAPHY: Lisa is the only biological child of Gordon and Stephanie Drake. With her father being a politician, and her mother having been a Colonel in the US Army (now the militia), she always was among the most powerful and influential people in Gotham. When the bombs fell, this did not change. The Drakes had always been allies of the Waynes and it made sense for them to live in the tower. When AJ lost his family, the Drakes sort of unofficially adopted him, bringing him into their family and helping him to get the tower operational in all aspects. As such, Lisa gained a big brother in a way.

Lisa is inexperienced, but very eager to please AJ and prove she is worthy of being his Nightwing and this can lead her to make rash decisions. She is nevertheless a skilled and intelligent combatant and is particularly skilled at tactics and recon.

HISTORY: Lisa's childhood was one of moderate privilege as she grew up living near Wayne Manor in the wealthy area north of Gotham. As such, she was in all of the best schools with all of the best teachers. With her mother a high ranking officer in the US Army, she also had access to the best physical training as well, often doing more advanced regimens even at a young age.

This gave her a leg up on most of the others in life, and Lisa knew this well. She always vowed to use her higher status to help those who needed it, however and always made strides to volunteer and draw attention to community causes. She was just finishing her senior year at her Girls Academy when the bombs fell and the world lay in ruins.

Her family's status protected her even here, though as she was quickly bunkered inside Wayne Tower. While it wasn't ideal with the overcrowding, it was a veritable paradise compared to the chaos that was going on outside. With her powerful parents, she was quickly being groomed to be a future leader of the remnants of society alongside AJ, but life would find a different true calling for her.

Lisa always felt there was more to AJ then what appeared on the surface. With her advanced education and interest in tactics and patterns, it ended up making her the perfect detective. Even still, it took her a while of investigation to discover that her suspicions were correct. She discovered AJ's double life as Batman and, as such, was taken under his wing as his new sidekick - Nightwing. Now she trains and studies harder than ever, now going out into the ruins of Gotham to protect the innocents as best she can.
