|History=Barbara Gordon is the daughter of Jim Gordon, of GCPD fame. From an early age, she proved to be smart as a whip, adventurous, and just fearless enough to be troublesome and no doubt a handful or more for her dad to handle, even compared to dealing with a police force in a city of vigilantes and super villains. Of course, her childhood mischief was nothing compared to what would come later.

As her high school days came to a close, Barbara found herself more and more consumed with the vigilante of Gotham, Batman. She would read everything she could find on him, research on the internet, she even volunteered to help the GCPD with their computer systems, partly to gain access to their files. And soon enough, she hatched herself a plan. At first it was just to go to a costume party as 'Batgirl', a way to bridge the day to day life of an energetic college student and her little obsession with Batman. Of course, she wasn't expecting the night to turn out with one of Gotham's classic armed robberies, or for her to use ther self defense classes and her costume to save the day as it were. But after that one night, well, it's not like she could just -stop-.
<br><br>
Indeed, as Barbara continued her own vigilante activities, she learned more, gained experience, and eventually even met Batman and Robin. After proving herself, she was basically part of the family as it were. Things were great, she had as much of a thriving civilian life as one can when going out all night fighting crime, which is to say most of her few friends thought she was a librarian by day and a shut-in by night. And of course, that thriving crime fighting life, feeding that need for adrenaline and excitement.<br><br>But crimefighting's one of those high impact lifestyles like MMA or motocross, some people are in for the long haul, and some find themselves leaving. Barbara didn't completely abandon crimefighting, if anything she's more active than ever online, her skill with computers and knack for knowing people letting her reach out further from Gotham than a snap-on cape and bat-shaped accessories did. Of course, now and then she still goes out... after all, sometimes you just need to teach a mugger the old fashioned way.

Her father might wish that she'd chosen an occupation other than crimefighting, but hey.. at least he talked her out of the police academy!

Climbing, zip lining across town, sneaking into places, picking locks, surveillance, combat driving. You name it, she's learned it since she began this gig as Batgirl. The sheer breadth of these skills is mind-boggling, and if one were to list all of them, it would probably take all day.

Barbara is, hands down, brilliant with computers. She can program and hack, hide herself in the dark Web, and she uses these powers for good. And... well, sometimes to spy on what information the alphabet soup agencies have on certain people that she might be considering exposing for crimes. But how could that be a bad thing?!

Barbara has spent a number of years now learning things like judo and taekwondo on her own. When she became Batgirl, her training was escalated exponentially because Batman wasn't going to have her get hurt on his watch. She is a solid fighter -- though she'll never put Batman on the mat, she can hold her own and take down most other foes.

Barbara Gordon is, arguably, one of the best computer programmers and hackers in the world. She's just the hacker no one knows, hidden in the shadows of the DarkWeb, more rumor than fact. Much like Batman in the real world, Oracle is the hacker that hackers whisper about. Taking the handle of Oracle, she didn't BURST onto the hacking scene so much as slipped in unnoticed and weaseled her way into the most secure systems on the planet. Skye Johnson and a very few others are in the same tier when it comes to computer security, but even they can't get a solid lead on Oracle. This has to do with Barbara's access to alien tech and encryption protocols that she has modified and integrated so seamlessly that they are completely unique on this planet.

Profile

As the daughter of Gotham's police commissioner, Barbara grew up steeped in police culture and the law. Although she ultimately wound up taking her degrees in programming and forensic psychology, she also has a minor in business law. Because of her connections, it was pretty simple to get an 'in' as a freelance computer forensics consultant with GCPD. And it leaves her free to pursue her 'night job' on the streets as Batgirl or in the darker regions of the Internet locating criminals' money.
