-------------------------------------------------------------------
34. Hero
-------------------------------------------------------------------
ALIAS(ES): Hawkwoman.
BIRTHDAY: April, 21st 1983
BIRTHPLACE: Thanagar
CURRENT: Chicago
FAMILY:
Katar Hol - 45 - Hawkman
ALLIANCE: Justice League
RANK: member of the council/ mentor
WEAPON: Hawkwoman carries a mace made of Nth metal, which was disruptive to magical energies. She is skilled at wielding and throwing the mace accurately. Her mastery over the mace is unmatched, understanding the electrical currents of the mace she can use it in a variety of ways and has even used it as a defibrillator to revive team members hears.
POWER:
Like all modern Thanagarians, Shayera has a pair of wings growing from her back which allowed her to fly. As a Thanagarian, her physical strength, endurance and durability were also noticeably much greater than those of humans.
As a former member of the Thanagarian military and police force, she had extensive training in tactics, military science, and personal combat skills. Additionally, her focus in espionage could make her a difficult opponent to track, and provided her teammates with an advantage when tracking villains.
Hawkwoman is incredibly skilled in martial arts.
Despite her short fuse and often brutal M.O., Hawkwoman has a keen mind, as she regularly defeated Batman at chess
BLOOD TYPE: O-
ORIENTATION: Heterosexual
MENTOR: Katar Hol
SCARS AND MARKINGS: old battle scars from her time on Thanagar and with the league. Being a 'cop' on her home planet she did not make many friends and scuffles were a common occurrence. Nothing has changed since she has joined the league, Shayera is still one to charge straight into battle.
COLOR(S): Gold, black and red
UNIFORM: She wears a costume matching colors with Hawkman's, but lacking most armor. She also dons a golden breastplate, leaving the top of her torso bare, and a black skirt with dark red plating. Her arms are wrapped in black and dark red cloth, with extra padding around the shoulders. She also wears knee-high greaves. Her helmet is less elaborate than Hawkman's, featuring only two brown wings facing outward. It allows her red hair to flow out the back. Hawkwoman
Outside of work Shayera wears what any modern woman would. She likes jeans and comfortable shirts and shoes in case duty calls and they are suddenly called away. Shayera has been known to dress up on occasion much to the disbelief of many but normally she prefers something she could easily fight and move in.
DESCRIPTION: Shayera is a Caucasian woman of average height, roughly 5'5"- 5'6" depending on how she stands. With deep, vibrant auburn red hair and green eyes. The only way to distinguish herself as a alien compared to the citizens of earth are rather large hawk wings on her shoulders. When she is in uniform Hawkwoman is all about business and can turn off her emotions, usually her lips that are visible under her mask are always fashioned in a straight, tight line but outside the costume Shayera is a little more free with her emotions. Offering genuine smiles and laughs with her husband and her friends within the League.

Fear: Losing her husband. its a legitimate fear they face every day.
Desire: Starting a family one day. It's not something she needs right this minute but a family with her husband would be nice.
HABITS: Shayera will crinkle her nose when she is in deep thought or concentration. Usually is hidden by her mask but when its not a few like to poke fun at her habit but... they only do it once.
PET PEEVE: She absolutely hates, HATES when people click their tongue when they talk of slurp their food/drink when they eat. It is like nails on a chalkboard and the sound makes her ears bleed.
STRENGTHS:
• Strength: As mentioned before Shayera is a strong woman and she isn't afraid to throw her weight around.
• Warrior: All Thanagarians are fierce warriors, being expected to join the military once they reach the proper age and Shayera will fight until her last breath, as long as she is able she will press on.
WEAKNESSES:
• Despite being from a different planet her physiology is very similar to that of the humans and she can easily be killed.
• Her wings: Without them Shayera wouldn't be what she is and while she would find a way to continue on without them she would rather not have to think about that.
TRAITS: Shayera Thal is a headstrong woman with a fiery and fierce attitude. Not afraid to speak her mind and drop threats when needed. When it comes to 'good cop, bad cop' Shayera is almost always the 'bag cop' she believes that actions speak louder than words and she has not come across a bad guy that didn't respond to her brand of interrogation. A brutal warrior Shayera can at times be a little too much for some peoples taste, having a very 'in your face attitude' While she may have calmed that down a little thanks to her years with The League she is still very much the same woman she was when she first came to this planet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
HISTORY: In the early 2000's, Thanagarian policemen partners Katar Hol and Shayera Thal arrived on Earth (following an attempted Thanagarian invasion of Earth) with the mission to capture the Thanagarian shapeshifting criminal Byth. They were part of a force which used the hawk as their symbol, and also had a winged, gravity-defying harness. Together they fought crime on Earth and corruption on Thanagar for some time, eventually falling in love and deciding to remain on Earth and build a life there rather than return to their home world.
Hawkman and Hawkwoman started operating as heroes in 2004, and were inducted in the Justice League in 2004 and they have been members ever since. The two have faced many obsticals durning their time and the most recent and probably one of the hardest was the trail the six members of the league had to face thanks to their unwilling involvement in the lights plans. Since their acquittal Shayera has taken on more of a mentor role to the new recruits they keep picking up, teaching the greenhorns combat skills and tactical training.

NAME: Summer
EXPERIENCE: See Batgirl
CONTACT: See Batgirl
HOW'D YOU FIND US? Made you
CHARACTERS: Batgirl, Cheshire, Hydracat
ANYTHING ELSE? When not at the Watchtower Katar and her live in a large high rise condo in downtown Chicago. The high elevation makes it easy for them to come and go as they need to and gives them plenty of space for their wings.
Since it is impossible for them to hide their identities thanks to their wings they tend to try to keep to themselves when in civilian form.
As a way to pass time and to make money to maintain their home Shayera has started a PI business. Of course she only takes cases when she can but it pays well enough for the two of them and she enjoys the work, gives her a chance to do the work she had done at home, something she had missed.
I mixed a little of JLU Hawkgirl with YJ Hawkwoman.
