I have a better idea on how to describe her so here's my revamp of my first OC for the Spy vs Spy head canon I'm creating. (Yes I've decided more on the way)...
Country of Origin: Greece
Favourite Combat Style: Hand-to-Hand
Bio:
Cowl is the first field agent to be deployed by the Silver Embassy in a few years.
While Cowl is new to the field, there's a reason why the Silver Embassy made her the field spy representative for them to begin with.
She could be described in one word: plucky.
She is someone who refuses to quit. Whenever it's missions both not involving, and involving the Bad Embassies, she'll see them finished. Even if some plot occurred like the spies getting in the way, she WILL finish her mission if the possibility stands.
Success rate for her missions is admittedly...spotty. But if she can she'll still see them through, and there hasn't been one mission that ended with the world under any of the embassies' control, so it all counts.
To back up her tenacity, she's also the most athletic, as well as the second best fighter. Preferring hand-to-hand combat, she will dodge bullets like it's no one's problem, and manage to get up close to her assailants and strike fast and hard. Wall jumping, sliding while swiping, dancing around her opponents, the one thing that makes her tricky is she won't sit still.
She's no slouch with ranged weapons, but prefers getting close and personal with attackers.
When it comes to missions, Cowl tends to prefer her missions be late in the evening as she's quite the night owl. It would also be easier for her to move around when there's less people and she could easily slip in and out. Any mission in the afternoon, or morning would put her off-balance, but she has to do them regardless, much to her chagrin.
Her favourite missions tend to involve heists, searching for rare artifacts, rescuing people from, well anything, or just dealing with other villains not affiliated, or associated with the Bad Embassies. Not only are they fun to do, as well as feel good specifically when helping people, but it also means she won't have to worry about the other spies appearing in those missions if it's confirmed they won't be there.
But if it does involve any of the embassies...she gets a lot more frustrated. As the new girl, Cowl tends to get little to no respect obviously, by the other rivaling spies. Of course, this just leads them to constantly underestimate her.
While not quite as sly or manipulative as the other spies, she's no slouch herself, playing up to their flaws, slipping away when not looking, or simply pulling a fast one. At the same time, it has gotten too easy to slip past them and she just wishes they would stop acting like she's smalltime and take her seriously for once.
In fact, the main reason she hates dealing with the other spies is because of one fact: they treat her as a soft, innocent, naive rookie that can't stand on her own legs and either can be used as bait, trick easily, or mock all the time.
There aren't a lot of things that set her off, but the one thing that does is this.
She may be new the field, but she's far from a rookie, or soft or even naive. Yes her record is spotty, but it's only when the spies are involved, otherwise, her record is handled much better overall, and she can be absolutely deadly if she wants to be.
She has killed people in past missions before, (usually assassins or incredibly ruthless people; smug bastards don't count) and has more than once wanted to kill the spies before, but they either get away or she's being pragmatic.
However, if there are different ways with dealing with adversaries that don't involve death, she'll take it with ease. Just because she's willing to kill doesn't mean she's comfortable with it. Plus it would be better to be as pragmatic about missions if she can.
Otherwise, she is usually very easygoing and friendly. Cowl is a social butterfly off missions. She likes interacting with other people, whether it's to be social and friendly, or to infiltrate easier; it's not manipulation if you genuinely want to get to know somebody (in her mind at least).
Because she's a night owl, she likes to lounge around, sleep in, and eat junk food when nothing's going on. But if she wants to get some energy out, she heads to the gym or ballet rooms where she practices her flexibility a lot more.
As someone who likes to have fun on her free time, she'll also hang out in places where other people tend to have fun like a roller rink, a laser tag arena, an ice rink, and karaoke bars.
All in all, Cowl is an example of 'don't judge a book by it's cover'. She may look like a rookie on the surface, but she's the best spy in her embassy (granted the only one at the moment), thanks to her tenacity, excitement to her job, a fighter, and a lot more sly than given credit for.
Her wish of being taken seriously by the other spies will come true soon though. And she will have to be ready when that occurs...
