OOC:
Hello everyone! This blog is dedicated to Sophia's hero team, and will largely be lore posts about her and the others, and give some frame of reference for her backstory and the world she grew up in!
Feel free to interact and send asks and questions here, and all RP is welcome! If you think your character would maybe be a good fit for QG this is also the place for them to ask!
If your character is a victim of Sexual Assault or Trafficking, they can also seek assistance and asylum with the QG at no cost to them or their family.
We at ᴡᴀʏɴᴇ ᴇɴᴛᴇʀᴘʀɪꜱᴇ™(ᴘᴛʏ)ʟᴛᴅ would like to Update the public on The Case of Mr. Keay and his Inappropriate behavior in the work place
𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐭 ᴡᴀʏɴᴇ ᴇɴᴛᴇʀᴘʀɪꜱᴇ™(ᴘᴛʏ)ʟᴛᴅ 𝐁𝐥𝐚 𝐛𝐥𝐚 𝐛𝐥𝐚… HEY GUYS, GEUSS WHOS BACK IN BUISNESS!
Its Cain here! Just got my access back to the account!
Thank you all for your massive support during this big old mess. E and I are both safe and no longer in W.E.'s building.
As for the board and what will happen going forward; I have been on the phone with my union about the situation and will be taking legal action.
This isn't just about what happened to me, but rather the bigger picture it poses. With the advice from Sanchi over at Hero Helpers, We have gotten a Lawyer, who has been actively providing advice on the case.
I cant say much, except that we are safe and handling the situation as best we can. I will try and keep you guys updated throughout the process as much as I legally can!
WARM FUCKING REGARDS
Mr. C.M. Keay
| Head of Gotham and Public Relations Specialist | Department Of Our Living Room | The Couch |

Gunshots hit the ground around your feet as you were chased by some new, vigilante-wannabe. You seemed like you were about to escape her grasp when, out of nowhere, she jumped on your back, knocking you on the rooftop floor, and put a pair of handcuffs on your wrists.
She used her foot to weakly turn you on your back, standing above you. Her face wasn’t visible, but it was easy to tell by her stature that she was probably a teen, rather than an adult.
Her foot rested itself on your sternum, a frown on the lower-half of her face.
“May I ask what you were doing at the crime scene?”
——————
(you can be a hero/vigilante in the wrong place at the wrong time, or you could be a villain/anti-hero. Ocs AND cannon characters (or anyone else) are all welcomed. Have fun!)
Sophia grunts as she hits the ground, and she turns on her meta dampeners before she speaks. She pants heavily taking a minute to catch her breath.
“Well, those guys,” she he huffs out. “Would be the bad guys. Creepy assholes too based on what they had to say about what I’m wearing… and I, and my team, have been tracking them for a few weeks now in connection to a case. They don’t seem to be involved in anything I care about but they know the people who are, so I needed their information. Which I now can’t get, thanks. It took weeks to arrange this!”
She glares for a minute, but after observing the other vigilantes behavior she rolls her eyes with a sigh. She slips her cuffs on one hand that was a bit loose, and flips mockingbird over in the blink of an eye.
“Kid, what are you doing here? How long have you even been doing this?”
Sophia stares her down a moment longer before relenting and letting her up, offering her a hand.
“My name is Songbird, and sort of. Mostly. I’d say I’m a hero, Batman and Superman would disagree. Wonder Woman thinks I’m a worthy warrior though and she’s the only cool one there I’m not related to, so.” She shrugs, and sighs.
“You were good with your weapons, and you have a solid foundation. You really need to work on your hand to hand though, it should not have been that easy for me to get up. Though, the cuffs being left a little loose helped.” She says pointedly.
“Tighten them next time. I get you were moving fast but if I wasn’t friendly that could’ve been bad. I’m hypermobile, my body bends in ways it shouldn’t if I wasn’t that wouldn’t have been too loose but you should never take that risk.”
Lyn’s face flushed a bit at her own amateur mistakes. She took the girls hand and stood up.
“Mockingbird.” She muttered, trying to seem unimpressed, but she very clearly was taking notes in her head when Sophie explained how she could improve.
“Am I able to help your case?” She spoke up. “I… I am useful. I could get information in areas like Crime Alley, or I could spy on something. I would like to contribute.”
“Mockingbird… I don’t think so. The cases I work aren’t safe. I exclusively deal with some of the worst of the worst scum. Without parent permission I can even entertain the idea. Plus to work around me we’d need to take mold impressions of your ears and make you specialized comms.” She says firmly.
“But… I’d be willing to help you work on som of your training if you ever need.” Her expression softened into a gentle smile.
“I remember just starting out. Even with all my training before then I had a lot to learn, and my much less well trained friends even moreso.”
Sophia nods. “Since I was 10, officially. I’ve had combat training since I was like two and a half to three years old. I forget where in there exactly it started.” She shrugs.
“How long have you been doing this?” She asks. “You’re good, but you have a lot to learn.”
She huffed and averted her eyes. “Four months. But don’t mistaken my newness for lack of ability.”
Lyn picked the handcuffs off the floor and pocketed them. “Well, it was pleasant meeting you, Songbird. I’ll be off taking care of crime. Have a lovely night.”
Sophia steps in front of her. “Not so fast. I don’t think you being new means you’re not capable, but you need someone to help teach you. You’ll get yourself hurt otherwise. Tomorrow, I’ll send someone to retrieve you. His name is Vortex. Blonde, blue eyes, 6ft. Overgrown puppy personality. He’ll take you to our main training facility.” She offers, and hands Lyn a card.
“Meet him there if you want. If you really don’t I can’t force you, but… you seem like a good kid. I’d hate to see you hurt.”
She jumped a bit when Sophia stepped in front of her, then straightened back up, trying to seem cordial.
“Why…” she started, then stopped herself, letting out a resigned nod of her head, gently taking the card. “Okay, Vortex.” She mutters as she reads the card.
Before Sophia can leave, she gets out a flustered “thank you,” then runs off. Social skills really aren’t Lyn’s strong suit.
———
By the next day, Lyn was standing at their select location. She really looked awkward, fidgeting with her fingers while her eyes continuously searched for the tall blonde.
Alfred bounces excitedly with each step he takes, looking for the kid Soph asked him to find and escort. He scans the location for a moment and sees them, but makes a series of teleportations to get to them, a likely unnecessary precaution, but one he takes al the same.
Once he reaches them, he smiles a bit brighter.
"Hi! I'm Vortex, I hear you will be joining us for training today? Songbird sent me here to find you."
//Hello everyone!! Here is an updated more thorough post on Sophia and her backstory! It’s still not perfect but it gets a good idea!!
I’m also making a QueensGuard account and have a pinned post written there that I’ll be reblogging here!
There is very sensitive content in her backstory, so please mind the TWs. I don’t get into it graphically, it won’t ever be discussed particularly graphically on this blog, and yes it is horrific much of what she has been through.
I am very well aware.
Writing her has always brought me comfort and peace. Some things are adding as much trauma onto a blorbo as I can, and some I draw experience from in one way or another even if not in this exact application.
Sophia Queen updated timeline and info:
Some mild Arrowverse inspiration in the inclusion of Thea and the whole Nyssa/Ollie marriage bit, but that’s about where it ends.
TW: Very vague mentions of CSA and trafficking at the hands of adopted non parental family as non-graphically as possible. Mention of child pregnancy.
Death of a teen. Cancer.
-Her and Jackson are born!
-At 3 weeks old her and her twin brother (Jackson) are given to friends of Nyssas that are from a very well to do high society noble family in England that weren’t capable of having kids. Nyssa did not feel safe keeping them due to her father.
-By 8 weeks old both twins are given meta inhibitors due to being infants and obvi way too young to train their powers.
-At 4 years old their parents die in a house fire, the twins barely survive, they had been trapped a good part of it and almost weren’t found.
-Initially they are taken in by an uncle related to their adoptive parents.
-They were in boarding school though once they turned five and then winter holidays were with their uncle and summer with Nyssa.
-At 7 Jackson was diagnosed with Leukemia.
-At 9 Jackson went into remission.
-At 11 Sophia’s best friends at school found out that their uncles was severely mistreating Sophia, and all being metas, formed a secret team to stop it that wound up sending her uncle to prison when they broke into a ‘meeting’ he set up with him, some of his friends, and Sophia.
-Nyssa took Sophia and Jackson and sent them to Ollie and explained everything to him.
-Hal had recently started dating Dinah and Ollie. The twins are closer to Hal and Dinah, rather than Ollie. He tries his best but they just don’t click with him. Eventually they will get closer to him though!
-Sophia and Jackson were both closest to Dinah almost from the get go, with Dinah training them both with their meta abilities.
-The QueensGuard (QG) was ‘officially’ formed, and the five boys who started it named Sophia leader and Jackson became primarily their ‘guy in the chair’ since his health was still difficult sometimes.
-Sophia started training her friends in the martial arts she’s grown up learning.
-They find out Sophia is pregnant and she adamantly refuses to tell Dinah and Ollie, or a teacher, or anyone. She’s 12 so she’s SO grown up, she say so bc she had her bat mitzvah. (Nyssa is Jewish, she defs pushed for them to be raised participating in Jewish life as much as possible, and I feel like they had before but esp after being around Hal and his fam they’d have connected to that part of their heritage more.)
-At 12 Sophia gave birth while away at school. She nearly died.
-Ollie and Dinah are understandably upset no one noticed anything sooner and they weren’t even called right away. They rushed there as soon as they were told though. The father’s family took custody of the baby despite what he’d done and much protest from the Queens.
-Sophia and Jackson get pulled out of their first school and switch to a school in California, their friends convince their parents to let them follow.
-Jax gets much closer to Ollie.
-The QG starts to grow as more students in the school become interested.
-At 14 QG starts teaming up with YJ
-At 15 YJ joins the Titans.
-QG also starts doing their own missions separate, outside of the purview of the Titans, YJ, OR the JL.
-At 16 Jackson is diagnosed with lung cancer. He does extensive treatment and Sophia gives him a lung. Unfortunately they find out after the transplant that the cancer has metastasized.
-At 17 Jackson passed away.
-Sophia was devastated. They had been inseparable their entire lives. They were close, always dormed together even when it technically wasn’t allowed, always shared a bedroom (though by 12 they usually slept in their own beds unless they were sick or particularly upset.)
-Sophia starts partying and sneaking out and isn’t responsive to anyone’s attempts to reach out, not even Roy’s, or Thea’s. She’s drinking and reckless and nearly gets herself hurt several times and she falls behind in school.
-Eventually her best friends Alfred and Matthieu, who she and Jackson always called their bonus twins, break through to her and she starts getting back to normal life. He helps tutor her through classes and she heals.
-Sophia starts to build a better relationship with Ollie, finally seeing him as a dad. And with Roy, finally seeing him as a brother.
-At 18 Sophia starts uni connected to the same academy she went to the rest of her schooling at, and she starts to fully separate QG from the Titans and the JL. Batman and Superman and most of the league are fine with this, as very few members agree with the fact that QG doesn’t have a strict no kill rule. If more experienced help is really needed Sophia reaches out to her parents or Diana but none of the others.
-She is a performance arts major.
-She fights for custody of her child and wins, due to the father’s history with her and others.
-QG expands even farther and gains more members.
-By 19 QG is very effective at doing what they do. Their ops and missions last several months but they almost exclusively target human (meta or otherwise, and immigrants from other planets as well,) traffickers, and those ops just take time. But since they’re a private organization and not government they also have different rules and things less red tape.
-Sophia starts dating Tim and Bart.
-At 20 QG starts working collaboratively with governments in the most at risk parts of the planet to ensure they follow correct evidence handling and hand-offs of perpetrators. QG designs a standard uniform that most members wear, though Sophia is notorious for either wearing her own personal uniform that matches what she and Jackson used to wear together, or just whatever she feels like that day. This makes it easier when doing joint work with various countries governments since they’re easy to determine who is who.
-At 21 Tim breaks up with Sophia. It just wasn’t working and was amicable. Sophia and Bart are still dating, but it’s rocky.
-QG work is smoother than ever and Sophia is doing well at school.
-Now 22 (23 in January) Sophia is in her last year of uni and living her life. Her school has a division that does a lot of traveling around and she is in it and the school is mainly in and around Gotham and Blüdhaven and Metropolis for classes. Sophia also has some health issues but they’re well managed and don’t often affect her work.
-She and Bart are dating still and things ease up. Bart finally comes out to her as trans, they had been hiding being AFAB and nonbinary since they originally had let everyone think they were a boy and had been comfortable in that for a long time. Their relationship is stronger than ever now that she knows. Sophia lets them know that doesn’t change how she feels in the slightest.
-Or (specific characters/plotline dependent): Bart breaks up with her after coming out saying he’s AFAB and has been hiding it and wants to work on figuring out more about himself and going through self discovery and ofc Sophia agrees to that and it’s an amicable split but she still assures Bart that she will always be around for him/them.
*I’m open to developing other relationships instead though! And as always ship interactions all around characters and muns need to be minimally 18+, any desire for anything beyond PG-13 needs to be discussed in private and should be 20+ all around.
I HC that the core 4 YJ crew are mostly ~1-2 years older than Sophia.
