|Description=This lady is about five and a half feet tall, well-built but not stocky. Her hair is long and raven-black, worn past her shoulders. Her eyes are hidden behind dark sunglasses - they're fancy shooting glasses if nothing else. She wears a full-body suit of black, it's slightly shiny, almost like beetle chitin - the elbows and knees are padded, the forearms and shins are also reenforced. She has a long white shemagh around her neck, the ends loose. She carries a panoply of gear: a large quiver, the shafts and fletchings color-coded. The quiver also contains a folded high-tech composite bow and a broadsword. Strapped to her left thigh is a case bearing two short staves, the classic "escrima sticks".
===Current Player Approved: Available for Application===
|History=The daughter of publishing magnate Derek Bishop, Kate was born into a life of privilege and luxury, though she never fully embraced her father's self-serving attitude, instead taking after her mother and contributing to a variety of social causes. The death of her mother while she was doing charity work overseas and her father's single-minded focus on his business meant that Kate learned to chart her own course early on in life. Sometime after her mother died, Kate was attacked in Central Park during a nighttime walk, and while the precise nature of this attack has never been clearly stated, it is implied that she was sexually assaulted. Turning her sense of grief, shame and helplessness towards positive ends, Kate began a rigorous training regimen, schooling herself in the arts of archery, fencing, sword fighting, self defense, and several other types of combat, all in an attempt to prepare herself against such an attack in the future and prevent it from happening to others.
|Description=
|Personality=Kate is generally a friendly person, but she is very driven to do the best she can at everything she puts her mind to. This is especially so when she puts on her costume and goes out to patrol. People are counting on heroes like her to help them. Sure, she could shoot an arrow once in a while, but that's not what people need - they need a heroine that will never stop, ever, until everything is better.

Like archery, acrobatics was something that she took up in school long before she started down the road to become a hero. Even from the very beginning, she showed a lot of natural talent with it. As part of her 'combat training' when she decided to take up the bow as a vigilante, she put a renewed focus on becoming as good as she could. After all, she was probably going to be shot at, or worse (especially as she encounters villains with powers) thus she tried her best to be prepared. And this training has payed off multiple times.

Kate is a natural with a bow and arrow. In fact her skills as an archer are more pronounced. She has been training with the bow and arrow since grade school, was part of her schools archery team, excelled at it in summer camp, and could have made the US Olympic team for her archery skill if she had tried out for it.

Sure, she could shoot an arrow once in a while, but that's not what people need - they need a heroine that will never stop, ever, until everything is better.
Much like archery, fencing is a socially acceptable 'sport' for a young lady of Kates status (even if Kate is not as good at it as she is with a bow and arrow). As such she took it up at an early age, and has shown that she is quite good at it. At one point it was suggested that she should try out for the US Olympic team as a fencer (and she may very well of made the team), but her father squashed that idea due to it being 'below her station'. Still, when it comes to a sword, Kate is very good.

When it comes to shooting targets, be it with a bow and arrow, a gun, or other weapons having a keen eye helps. And when you're a powerless human fighting the fight alongside beings who can move mountains, being able to notice the small details helps even more, so that you can make every shot count. Thus between years of archery training and hard won experience, Kate as ended up with a very good eye for noticing details.

Kate is a classically trained musician who plays the cello. And while not a music snob, she can easily tell the difference between a piece written by Bach, Brahms, Mozart, John Williams, as well as many other classical composers, can discuss their strengths, weaknesses, and styles, and can play parts of their compositions on her cello from memory (if said composition has an established part for cello). With that said, she still listens to and enjoys a wide variety of music, not just classical.

Kate's costume actually is a form of light weight body armor. It protects her from small arms fire and blades. The material also helps absorb energy from hand-to-hand fighting. The forearms and shins are reinforced to assist in striking. Her boots are steel-toed. In addition, she tends to carry a second pair of 'sunglasses' that actually are a very expensive high end night vision system. She also has a hidden rebreather/gas mask.

Kate has access to much more. This includes, but is not limited to her supply of 'trick arrows', swords, but it can and on rare occasions does include guns or worse.

But in a world where money can buy things that people shouldn't really have, Kate is willing to use that to get what she needs. Of course she hopes that she never has to use anything other than her bow, arrows, trick arrows, and swords regularly, since after all using the 'big guns' can easily escalate things beyond a point where she's comfortable.
