Profile
After surviving a senseless attack, old-money publishing heiress Kate Bishop trained herself to be able to fight back. She mostly fights crime at the street level, against criminals who can be felled by arrows. After months of on-the-job learning, she's gotten herself a P.I. license and is going to help the people who need it.

Personality:
Abilities
Skills
Acrobatics:
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.
Archery:
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.
Fencing:
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.
Hawkeye:
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.
Markswoman:
Kate might not be as good with many non-archery ranged weapons, Kate still has a certain amount of natural talent for them, and she has done what she can to learn at least the basics for the most common ones. As such, she not only is fairly good with a gun or a crossbow, but she shows some potential to become as good with them as she is with a bow and arrow if she were to just put the time, effort, and training into weapons aside from the bow and arrow.
Martial Arts:
Kate has had the best tutors money can buy in martial arts and self-defense. She has studied Krav Maga, various forms of hard and soft Karate, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, Muy Thai, and others. This is not just theoretical knowledge, either - she has street experience now as a vigilante.
Music:
Resources
Costume:
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 foreams and shins are reenforced 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.
Gear:
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. Yes, this even includes some military grade weapons that odds are she really shouldn't have access to. 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.
Hawkeye Investigations:
Kate Bishop is a licensed private investigator in New York. It's easier than you'd think to get one of those things when you're rich. She has an office in Brooklyn for 'Hawkeye Investigations,' a business that is completely legitimate and above-board. Phrasing it that way makes it sound sarcastic, but it's not. It's really a legitimate business.
Socialite:
From a young age Kate has had proper manners drilled into her, and has spent a lot of time among others who are either movers and shakers, or just are from old money. As such she not only knows how to do such socially acceptable things as ride a horse and can tell you the proper utensil to use at specific points in a fancy dinner, but she also has connections to other important and rich families (many of which she is probably on good terms with).
Trust Fund:
Weaknesses
Family:
Since receiving access to her trust fund and using it to make firing arrows at bad guys into a business model, Kate Bishop and her father have not been on speaking terms. Kate thinks that her father is being dramatic with his proclamations that 'she will get hurt' and 'she will make a laughing stock of the family' and other such concerns. That is certainly part of it, but the truth is that Daddy Bishop is also connected to unsavory criminal elements, and does not want his daughter putting herself in their crosshairs, because if he has to choose between her and the Bishop empire... look, he can have another kid, if he really wants.
Headstrong:
To say that Kate can be a little 'single-minded' at times is an understatement. At times she can be so focused on one single thing, usually as part of her effort to make the world a better place. As such she can and does tend to push herself too far, and is more than willing to sacrifice almost anything to do what she can do what she feels she has to do, no matter what the physical, mental, or emotional cost is to herself. Worse, some times this headstrong nature can lead to others she is close to to be unintentionally hurt, which in turn is worse for Kate since she is willing to accept what she does to herself, but hates the fact that what she does might hurt those around her.
