PERSONALITY:
[SIZE=12pt]Headstrong and sarcastic with a deep seated sense of justice. Jaded and hostile to those she sees as authority figures. This would include among others, Batman, her father, and most of the cops in Gotham City. But to her friends and those less fortunate, she can be funny, generous, and warmhearted.

HISTORY:
[SIZE=12pt]While both her parents were cops, it was her mother, Sarah, who instilled in the young Barbara Gordon a deep sense of justice and standing up for your beliefs. However, they say that the best of us are taken too soon and unfortunately that proved the case for Sarah as well. Stricken with cancer, she died after a long and agonizing struggle while Barbara, only eight years old at the time, could only watch helplessly as her mother was slowly taken away from her.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Unable to cope with the loss of his beloved wife, Jim Gordon, a young police lieutenant at the time, buried himself in work. His children suffered for it, especially Barbara. When she needed the support of her father the most, he was unavailable, never around. Left to care for her younger brother, Jimmy Jr., Babs had to grow up quickly, take on adult responsibilities, become hard-headed and practical. She never forgave her father for abandoning her and her brother.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Barbara channeled her anger at her dad into a drive to succeed at everything she undertook. Always a brilliant student, Barbara excelled at her studies, learning anything and everything that would help her realize her goal of making a difference in the world. To fulfill that sense of helping others that her mother so highly valued. Supported by scholarships, she earned her Juris Doctor in criminal law at 21. She also studied and mastered criminal psychology, forensic science, computer systems security, along with more shadowy areas of knowledge such as martial arts, firearms and explosive, intrusion and penetration skills.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]A trust fund from her grandmother, Sarah's mother, gave Barbara the freedom and the funds to realize her ultimate goal. Vowing never to be a cop because of her issues with her father, Babs instead pursued her dream of fighting crime and upholding justice by opening her own pro-bono law office, bringing justice to those so often ignored and trodden upon by the public institutions sworn to protect them. And by night, she would further the cause of justice by fighting as Batgirl.[/SIZE]
