Magpie

"*"I'm just fine little girl. Can't say the same for these guys"*"
— Magaret Sorrow

**Margaret Sorrow**, mostly known as **Magpie**, is a criminal in Gotham City.

## History

### Early History

Magpie was a recurring adversary of Batman which meant she met most of his rogues gallery, but was often seen as a loser or a Catwoman rip-off. At some point during her time in Gotham she met Michael Lane before he became Azrael. She moved from Gotham to Metropolis 5 years before the earthquake where she found more luck in the criminal business as Superman was always busy with other more important foes.

### Post-Earthquake/Return To Gotham

Magpie wasn't there for the earthquake and only just returned to Gotham. She made her return by killing a joker goon in Marrero Park where she had her first encounter with Grapplah. She then went to the Iceberg Lounge and offered her services to The Penguin in return for ownership of a part of Gotham. Penguin asked her to go with Killer Moth to steal whatever they could, but Magpie decided to go steal from The Gotham Merchants Bank where they were interrupted by Wildcat and Grapplah. The pair fled the scene but were pursued by the other two, however due to Killer Moth destroying Wildcat's motorcycle they managed to escape and return to the Lounge. Magpie handed the money over to Penguin and in return received ownership of Jamestown.

### Entering Jamestown

Magpie entered Jamestown but was approached by it's previous ruler and his gang, She easily killed the gang but was noticed by Rebecca Langstorm, Magpie asked Rebecca to show her around and eventually decided to make the girl her advisor. The two claimed The Gotham Gazette as their base of operations and began filling the levels of the Gazette with any resources and supplies they could find. Her fresh start in Jamestown didn't come without problems however as the pair were attacked by Dogwelder, Magpie suffered a serious injury to the arm after having a dead dog welded to it. The pair did manage to survive the attack as Rebecca transformed into her bat-form, which along with Magpie was enough to make Dogwelder retreat. Rebecca and Magpie encountered Dogwelder for a second time in Gotham Zoo, but this time they also encountered Kyd Wykkyd. After the fight, Wykkyd dropped a radio, pieces of his cape and a mysterious shard which Magpie picked up after he left. Magpie used the radio and had a conversation with a mysterious person that was unknown to Magpie.

### Vs The Terrible Trio

Magpie would be admiring her part of town when all of a sudden an explosion at Gotham Airlines occurred. Magpie headed there immediately to see what was behind the chaos, it turned out to be because of a man named Vulture(Armand Lydecker) who was a member of a new group of criminals called The Terrible Trio(Also consisting of Fox and Shark). Vulture had went to the Airlines with two goons and decided to blow up some of the planes to "Take over the sky". Magpie showed up and killed the goons as Vulture escaped to a plane. Magpie chased after him and the two ended up fighting in a now up in the air plane, Magpie was losing the battle until she managed to gain the upper hand by slicing off Vulture's penis. Magpie then destroyed the control panel, grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane as it blew up, killing Vulture. After her fight with Vulture she returned to the Gazette and went to sleep but was visited by Doctor Destiny, she tried to get him to stop mentally torturing her by asking him why he does what he does but to no avail. The leader of The Trio, Fox, who was also Vulture's friend, found out about Lydecker's death after meeting Magpie in The Iceberg Lounge. After a failed murder attempt he hired Hitman(Tommy Monaghan) to kill Magpie which he attempted to do at The Gazette but Rebecca, attempting to save Magpie, took the bullet and was seemingly killed. Tommy, who was wracked with guilt told Magpie that Fox hired him. Magpie banished Tommy from Jamestown, swearing she'd kill him if he stepped foot into her part of town ever again. Magpie then broke down crying. After a long time mourning she buried Rebecca in the Gazette Gardens and began planning her revenge.

## Relationships

* **The Penguin**: Both are good friends and have a history working together.
* **Rebecca Langstorm**: Magpie doesn't necessarily see Rebecca as a daughter or a sister but just as someone that appreciates and respects her so she values the girl, being genuinely devastated at her supposed death.
* **Terrible Trio**: Magpie despises the Trio, especially Fox. She didn't meet Shark but still hates him as much as the other two.
* **Killer Moth**: Magpie gets on fine with Moth, she doesn't consider him a close friend but knows he would be happy to help her at any time.
* **Polka-dot Man**: Magpie feels sorry for Abner, she sympathises with him being seen as a loser as she knows what it's like. She considers him a close friend and a genuinely kind hearted person.
* **Doctor Destiny**: Magpie doesn't entirely trust Destiny, but does feel sorry for his suffering and hopes he can find a better path in life.
* **Dogwelder**: She didn't know who he was as he appeared after she left Gotham, but immediately took a disliking to him even before she was attacked by him, which fulled her hatred for him.
* **Hitman(Tommy Monaghan)**: She originally hated Tommy for accidentally "killing" Rebecca and only let him live because she knew that A) She was the intended target and B) Fox was behind it. Magpie only somewhat warmed up to Tommy after confronting him in The Cauldron(Originally there looking for Fox). The two then had a talk which resulted in Tommy deciding to help Magpie find and kill Fox. After a long battle the two killed fox and headed to The Mercy General Hospital where Magpie forgave Tommy for what he did. The two then had a drink in the cauldron, had sex and are now in a relationship.
* **Grapplah**: She finds him incredibly annoying and hates it whenever he opens his mouth.
* **Onomatopoeia:** Hates him after he attacked her, wants him dead.
* **Poison Ivy:** The two are aquantinces but could possibly become friends as Ivy chose not to subdue Magpie after her and Talon broke into Ivy's Garden. With Ivy hoping Magpie doesn't get into bother with Talon, suggesting she cares about her more on a friend level.
* **Talon**: She does like Talon but was a little suspicious of him at first, the two had a minor bit of conflict(mostly one sided on Magpie's part)but after Talon shared his backstory the two are now in a partnership. The partnership was then broken up after another bit of conflict.
* **Carmine Falcone**: She doesn't like Falcone but is willing to do jobs for him as long she gets something in return.
* **Ambush Bug**: He's very similar to Grapplah so Magpie immediately dislikes him and finds him annoying.
* **Azrael**: Since she knew Michael before he became Azrael, she's known him the longest out of anyone in the rp. The two seem to have drifted, but Azrael will still do things for Magpie, such as not kill Crime Doctor so he can heal Tommy. Magpie thanked him sincerely for this, showing there is still a friendship there.
