Character Name: Katherine "Kate" Bishop/Hawkeye
Series: Marvel Comics
Young AvengersGender: Female
Age & Canon Point: 16; the gap between
Siege: Young Avengers and
Avengers: Children's Crusade.
Requested Sponsor: Lapis Lazuli
Entry position: Cadet
History: Wiki herehereand
hereAbilities & Physical Abnormalities: None, other than the skills she acquired through intense training. She’s proficient at archery, fencing, sword fighting, jujitsu, boxing, and other forms of combat.
Personality: Kate’s primary trait is her determination. Once she gets it into her mind to do something, she’s going to do it, obstacles be damned.
Rather than jump over hurdles, she has a tendency to instead smash right through them.
Nothing is too great to stop her from getting what she wants, not even the Avengers
At the same time, she isn’t a selfish person.
Things that she’s determined to accomplish are usually for others, either those less fortunate than herself or her friends.
Despite the fact her father is one of the richest people in New York, she isn’t spoiled.
That’s thanks to her mother, who taught her at an early age to give back to the unfortunate, whether donating money or volunteering at soup kitchens or mission trips.
That isn’t to say that her decisions aren’t brash, though. Kate thought it was a good idea to take on armed robbers at her sisters wedding, and attempt to strangle the thick-skinned Mr. Hyde with her bow.
Of course she’s still a kid and all kids make brash decisions, but Kate tends to think about her decisions before executing them. Don’t confuse making quick decisions with making uninformed decisions.
Along with her determination, she’s also headstrong. She knows what she wants and she won’t stop until she gets it, and she won’t let anyone get in her way. This constantly causes her to butt heads with her teammate Eli, who is also headstrong. It also lead to her ultimate confrontation with Captain America, where she unabashedly told him off for trying to disband their group rather than teach them like they all asked. Kate takes no crap from anyone.
Though she may be 16, she doesn’t act it. She’s quite mature for her age. Between her upbringing, her mother’s death, and her assault, she done a lot of growing up in a short amount of time, and the more she talks around someone her own age, the more it shows, with her tending to act older than the rest of her peers. That isn’t to say she acts like an adult, either, but she has an adult mindset on things that a lot of her contemporaries just don’t have.
Finally, don’t try to pull one over on Kate—she’s incredibly observant. She was once able to free her teammates just by watching (from a distance) the security code Captain America punched in. She doesn’t allow herself to be distracted by things that she deems unimportant, and as a result has a better memory than most, but it’s hardly a superpower. Just her.
What are your plans for the character in-game? For starters, I'm looking forward to female archer night. Also, I'd like to get out of my comfort zone to play someone I don't normally play, and to give Kate a unique opportunity to learn things she couldn't learn anywhere else. I also plan for her to get to know and make friendships outside her canon.
Anything else? I hate enablers.

II. Questionnaire
What do you prefer to be known as? Kate, please.
How old are you? 16
Do you have any history in combat? I’ve dabbled here and there. Mainly self defense stuff—I mean it’s sort of a requirement if you want to live in New York City these days.
If so, have you ever killed? I’d never kill
i)
How do you feel when you get involved in some project that calls for immediate and rapid activity? What do you mean, how do I feel? I feel like something needs to get done and I do it.
ii)
Do you organize and initiate leisure activities? Sort of defeats the purpose of leisure, doesn’t it?
iii)
What role do you take when working in a group? I tend to take lead, because someone has to do it.
iv)
How talkative are you around other people? I’m not chatty, if that’s what you’re getting at. I’m also not shy.
v)
What three things would you want to have with you on a desert island? State your reasoning. My bow, my arrows, and my cell phone. The first to to keep me safe and the third to call someone to get me off the island.
vi)
Is it important to be liked by a wide range of people? I never saw the appeal of being popular, so no. That doesn’t mean you should be a jackass or anything, though…
vii)
When the odds are against you, is it worth taking a chance? Always.
viii)
Do you consider yourself to be an impulsive person? Maybe, but I have the skills to back up whatever brash decisions I might make.
ix)
Would you agree that planning things ahead takes the fun out of life? Depends on what’s being planned. If you’re going to do something that takes cooperation, planning’s essential. If you’re about to get together to hang out with someone, not so much. x)
Do you like surprises? Depends on the type of surprise. A surprise birthday party is fine, I guess, but a villain deciding to level midtown is definitely not a surprise I like.
xi)
Do you sometimes wonder if there is something wrong with you? Excuse me?
xii)
Do you consider yourself to be smarter than your superiors, and disagree with their decisions? Well that’s a loaded question. I’d never say that I consider myself
smarter than my superiors, but I certainly disagree with my superior’s decisions. Just because someone’s in charge doesn’t mean they’re right. Sometimes someone has to step up and tell them that, and I’m not afraid to be that person.
xiii)
Lastly, how do you feel about cabbages? What do cabbages have to do with anything?
