hi there! i’m violet and i’ll be writing the better hawkeye aka kate bishop. she will be based of 616 comic canon but i’ll provide a bit of detail just in case. ♡
Background-
kate was the second born to a wealthy manhattan family. despite all the luxury, it was actually a very lonely childhood. her father, derek bishop, was an emotionally distant publishing magnate, kate admired him and when she came home from boarding school would do anything for his praise and approval.
her mother died on a trip when kate was younger and despite growing up together, kate and her sister susan never were close. because kate spent so much time alone she became determined to rely only on herself. she developed a very independent, blunt, and stubborn personality.
as a child, kate saw her father brutally beat another man in his study. it was then her admiration for him turned suspicious. deciding to investigate her own father, katherine’s plan quickly turned on her as she found herself insead kidnapped and being held for ransom. hawkeye and the rest of the avengers saved kate.
pulling away from her family and its wealth, she began offering her time to soup kitchens and women’s shelters.
for a while, it seemed as though she could easily steer clear from trouble but then a bit of time before her sister’s wedding kate was sexually assaulted while just out on a walk. after the event she felt traumatized and so she isolated herself from the rest of the world.
overtime with the help of therapy, she learned to turn her fear into motivation. training in several forms of combat fighting and self-defense. She quickly became proficient in swordplay, archery, and martial arts.
it was at her sister’s wedding that kate began her transition into becoming a hero. the young avengers attempted to save her and all the other guests but instead worsened the situation. it was kate who actually managed to rescue everyone, including the young avengers themselves.
after the events of the wedding, kate was approached by cassie lang and it was then the two of them tracked the boys back to avengers mansion. it was there the teens were attacked by kang the conqueror. to join the battle, kate donned gear including mockingbird’s battle staves and mask, swordsman’s sword, black widow’s utility belt, and hawkeye’s bow.
despite captain america and iron man demanding the team disbanded, the two girls became permanent members. captain america allowed kate to keep clint’s bow and told her to use his codename “hawkeye”
for a while the team worked alongside the avengers and others but it wasn’t until the death of their teammate, and kate’s best friend, cassie that the team actually broke up.
for a long time after that, she balanced her time with her mentor clint barton and the new team of young avengers till eventually she made the decision to move to los angeles to open her own private investigation office.
so thats pretty much the basics until the portals opened up and she was brought to the new universe. of course if you want to plot or talk about everything that has happened since then please feel free to dm me here or on discord. i am so excited to be here and writing with you all!
