Shadow is able to hide her wings inside herself to appear "normal". When she does this you can see two 3 inch scars on her back between her shoulder blades. However hiding her wings like that, eventually causes discomfort and pain in her back. The longer she keeps them in the worse it gets but she gets instant relief when she releases them. Due to the bird DNA she also has enhanced vision, meaning that she can see for farther distances, above average in the dark and in general better. 

She really enjoys training and is skilled in many forms of martial arts, specialising especially in bo staff fighting. She has also developed expert level skills in stealth and observation. Through her training she has developed above average endurance, strength, reflexes and a high tolerance for pain.

-Small enclosed spaces(claustrophobic)
-People she cares about getting hurt
-Human, no meta power defences
-Hollow bones, easy to sprain or break bones
-Pushing herself to far
-Being stubborn to a dangerous extent


PERSONALITY: 

Determined, Loyal, Sarcastic, Reserved, Secretive, Bossy, Stubborn, Competitive, Short Tempered, Attentive

When Shadow joins the team she generally seems cool and confident but she hides her fears and deeper personal feelings from the others. She is wary of those around her and is always afraid that she may be rejected even though she is careful to always seem confident. In general she is pretty level headed. She is open to meeting new people and often seems open to them but she has a way of talking and answering questions whilst still avoiding things that she doesn't want them to know. As she becomes more comfortable with the team she shows more of her personality, she is caring for others and attentive but isn't the greatest when it comes to comforting.

She can be known to be bossy as she is used to doing things alone and the way she wants to.  People would describe her as brave and confident in most situations, as well as openly sarcastic. Shadow is also known to be very stubborn in doing things a certain way. She is determined in everything she does and always wants to be the best. When in tense situations she remains mostly calm and alert, all while being able to lead people confidently.

Style:
    Alex likes simple, loose and comfy clothes. She generally wears a t-shirt with a jacket(so she can always have her equipment with her), gloves, loose and/or stretchy jeans and comfortable running shoes or combat boots. She always carries a knife in her sock or boot.

In uniform Alex wears hair sticks that double as a gadget to pick locks with.
Her gloves have a built-in computer system with a holographic interface. The torso part of her uniform has padding to cushion her against attacks. She occasionally uses stealth tech. And also has worn darkwear when working with Nightwing.

Most of her outfits have special slits on the backs for her wings. When asked she usually shrugs and replies something about a new style.


HISTORY/BIO:

 Alex’s father was from England and her mother from Scotland. They had both been runaways that had been kidnapped. They were held captive by a group of scientists that ran an organisation called Genetics X, along with many other children. The scientists used the children in many genetic experiments causing them to develop abilities and visual traits. Her father was injected and tested with Snowy Owl DNA and her mother Peregrine Falcon DNA. Causing them both to gain wings. They were also used in many different tests, causing them to develop unnatural abilities as well(such as being able to hide their wings). After many years of being held captive, her parents and many other children managed to escape. Unfortunately they were chased and followed everywhere they went. Genetics X wanted them back. The group came to a decision and split up making it harder for them to get caught. Alex’s parents stayed together and settled down in Scotland, moving frequently and keeping a low profile.
    
    Eventually they wanted to start a family and Alex was born. Her parents weren’t sure if Alex would have inherited any traits and thought it would be better if Alex didn’t know about their past and abilities and kept it a secret from her. Alex grew up like a relatively normal child. Since her family moved a lot she was homeschooled. When Alex was eight years old their home was attacked. A group of men armed with guns attacked and tried to capture them. Her father told her mother and Alex to run and that he would catch up to them later. As Alex and her mother turned to run Alex saw giant white wings explode from her father’s back as he prepared to fight.

    Alex waited with her mother for hours, she asked her mother what was happening and why her father had wings. Her mother explained and showed to her what had happened to them when they had been kids. Now Alex understood why they were always moving and she was homeschooled. Eventually her mother decided to go and look for her father, she told Alex to stay where she was and not to make a sound. Then she opened her dark grey wings and took off. She came back an hour later crying. When Alex asked what was wrong, she was told that her Dad would not be meeting them. Alex understood what her mother meant.
Alex and her mother moved to America. They kept a low profile and were cautious of everyone. As Alex grew up she secretly wished that she could fly like her mum, once she had told her mother that and been scolded. “It wasn’t a gift,” she would say, “it’s a curse.”    

    One day Alex was walking in the woods. She was walking along a ravine when her foot slipped from under her and she fell. As she was falling, wings burst from her back and she glided roughly down. At the bottom Alex looked behind her and admired her wings; they were a mixture of greys and silver. Unfortunately Alex didn’t know how to fly and had to climb out of the ravine. When she finally got home she showed her mother. Her Mum wasn’t too happy about it but began teaching Alex everything she needed to know.
When Alex was twelve their home was once again attacked. They had been found and Genetics X wanted Alex too. Her mother told Alex to run and fought back against the intruders. Alex looked back as she ran and saw her mother get shot and crumple to the ground. Knowing that she couldn’t fight all those men she ran off.

    Alex was alone and with no money or family Alex lived in the streets and forests. She would get small odd jobs so she could buy tools and clothes but never stayed in one place for long. A couple times Genetics X would catch up to her but she managed to escape. Alex kept her wings hidden and avoided taking them out and she relayed on staying hidden in the shadows.

    During her first winter alone Alex got caught in a blizzard. It was dark and cold and Alex was hungry. She stumbled around in the woods and came upon a monastery. She snuck inside and was grabbing food when a boy attacked her. Alex held him off for a while but was losing. An old Chinese man entered and stopped the boy. He asked if she was ok and what she was doing. Alex explained and apologized the best she could and the man invited her to stay. He promised food, warmth, family and safety so Alex stayed. The man was Master Shenzu and he became like a father to her. He trained her in many forms of martial arts and combat. She learnt meditation and Bow Staff fighting. Alex excelled and loved her new home. The only one who knew about her wings was Master Shenzu. He promised to keep it a secret and he did. For many years she was happy.

    One weekend when Alex was 15, the monastery was attacked. Genetics X had found her again. They had guns and the people of the monastery could not compete. Master Shenzu told Alex to run just before he was shot in front of her eyes. Alex grabbed her bag and staff and ran. She took off to the skies and didn’t look back. After that Alex made a vow to never put anyone in harm's way. One day she would take down Genetics X, expose them to the world and avenge her fallen family and friends.

    She continued traveling not knowing where or when she would stop. During her travels Alex would stop petty criminals and bad guys. She didn’t believe in the Justice League. They were supposed to be super heroes but they hadn’t stopped Genetics X from experimenting on children and families, from killing her friends and family. She disliked them and had no intentions of ever having anything to do with them.

    One night she was in Happy Harbour, she attempted to stop a robbery that turned out to be an ambush. The men had been hired by Genetics X to capture her. Luckily Nightwing and Robin had been on patrol and jumped in to help her defeat them. Alex got clipped in the shoulder with a shot during the fight but fled from the hero's anyway. She ended up in more trouble and it was thanks to Nightwing and the Team that she survived.
They gave her medical treatment and tried to find out more about her. Alex refused to speak and tried to escape from them but got caught. Eventually Alex thought of an idea, she told them that she was a runaway with a meta gene. They accepted this answer and invited her to join the team. Alex accepted, hoping to use their resources to put a stop to Genetics X.

    While Alex was with the team she adopted the name Shadow. After a while she began to like the team a lot. In fact she developed quite a crush on Nightwing. But not wanting to have any attachments to anyone and not wanting to put them in danger she didn't show her feelings for him.

    During a battle against the team Onslaught, Alex was telepathically attacked by Psimon. He discovered Alex’s worst fears and put her in a catatonic state. Psimon had her relive all the deaths of her friends and family over and over again. Plus he made it so that she had to watch herself kill Dick who she had unwilling fell in love with. Miss Martian tried to snap her out of it, but no matter what she tried Alex couldn’t hear her. Eventually she found a way through and helped Alex out of the mind trap. Of course in the process she discovered all the truths about Alex and convinced her to tell the other leaders of the team and League.

    After this Alex, opens up to the team more. She becomes more of a team player, then a trusted member of the team and finally becomes a respected leader. 


RELATIONSHIPS:

Parents: Alex was very close to both her parents. She looked up to both of them and loved them unconditionally. When they were killed, it hurt her a lot and remains a constant pain that she is still learning to manage. Up to the present day Alex still remembers the guidance and things her parents told her and regularly applies them to her day to day life.

Master Shenzu/The Monastery: When Alex was in one of the lowest points of her life this man saved her. He welcomed her into the monastry and took her under his wing. He along with the other Master trained Alex in many things including everyday basics, martial arts, self defense and even schooling. Alex loved Master Shenzu like a 2nd father and when the monastery was attacked, Alex once again lost her friends and family. Just like her parents,  Alex will never forget Master Shenzu and will always remember his guidance. 

The Team: After finally settling in with the team and getting to know the members, Alex found another home. While she didn't get along with everyone and was closer to some then others she respected all the members. She felt comfortable in their presence and working along said them. As time would go on Alex would become particularly close to Nightwing(Dick Grayson), Batgirl/Oracle(Barbara Gordon), Artemis/Tigress(Artemis Crock) and Aqualad/Aquaman(Kaldur'um). 

Justice League: Alex didn't always like the league and still to this day doesn't always agree with their decisions. For this reason she declines their invites to join the League and remains as a leader of the team. Of the members of the Justice League, Alex is notably close to Hawkgirl who made her feel more comfortable with her self and wings. As well as Black Canary who helped Alex come to terms with certain past life events. In saying that Alex has a rocky relationship with Batman and Superman. Batman has his way of doing things and a way of trying to be in charge of everything that clashes with Alex's ways. For Superman, it would have to be a dislike that Alex can't quite pinpoint, she just always didn't seem to like him.

                -Genetics X(not canon)
                -League of Shadows
