Sydney Rojas

## Background

### 1987 - 2005: Sydney Rojas

Sydney's mother Lydia was born & raised in the Australian region of Pilbara. She would eventually fall for a passerby which would result in her pregnancy. Her parents were not happened when they discovered this so she left the only home she knew to strike out her own. Instead, she found herself involved with another stranger by the name of Bernardo Rojas. He was a former member of the government that was now working for the military, which led to him being in Australia on business.

Lydia was quite taken by the man. So much that when he said it was time for him to return home, Lydia went with him back to Ciudad Juárez. She eventually gave birth to Sydney then married Bernardo before she was their child was two. Sydney's name was changed from her mother's maiden name to Sydney Rojas & Bernando officially adopted her as his own daughter. After the birth of her younger sister Andrea, the four of them were seen as a family with everyone mostly thinking Sydney was the daughter of Bernando.

Now part of a military family, Sydney primarily lived in remote areas on military bases. But she loved the cities as it gave her a chance to get out of the boonies & enjoy life away from isolation. Being a people person, Sydney loved attention & didn't like being around other military brats. She got into fights often, but was playful & generally good natured. She was also protective of her younger sister Andrea, even excessively so.

When she was a teenager, her father finished his enlistment, allowing her to finally go to a real school & settle into a routine.

### 2005 - 2014: Sydney Rojas

Upon graduating from high school, she received a full scholarship but instead, she decided to move to Australia under the guise of travelling the world but she really went looking for her father. There wasn't much left of the city due to the bombings from almost 20 years ago. She stayed nonetheless & eventually discovered her father was none other than the infamous Vandal Savage after discovering a picture of him with her mother.

After spending about a year in Australia, Sydney returned home feeling that she got all that she needed out of her trip. She then made the "stupid decision" to enlist in the military as she was a sucker for punishment. After about two years, she ended up in one of the branches for Special Forces but left after an undisclosed incident.

Outside of the military, not really sure where to go with her life other than not wanting to have an ordinary life, she was found by none other than the mysterious Mr. Bones. Training her over the next several years as a spy, Sydney lived the high, unusual life she had always wanted as a DEO agent.

After being a member for some years, Director Bones would select her & two other women, Natalia & Valerie, to form their own team called Danger Girl. Natalia was a former agent of the Russian special forces, that specialized in espionage & combat. Valerie was a seveteen year old graduate from Oxford University that had already been working with Bones for the last two years. Believing their skills put together could be something special, Bones paired them together. The team was set up to report directly to Bones through DEO Special Agent Johnny Barracuda, Sydney's former one night stand.

## Personality

Generally speaking, Sydney is the most confident, sassy, vivacious & capable member of DG. She is occasionally shown to falter when she tries to resist her attraction to Johnny Barracuda (drunkenly getting a tattoo of a barracuda, sharing a kiss when they expected imminent death & now "dating" him). Sydney acts as the more experienced & less easily swayed member of the team, always sticking to her gut & expertise.

Her main (and possibly only) downfall is her lack of seriousness. She always has a joke or a tease to fit any situation. Sydney is also known to employ risk taking behavior, as she loves to get her adrenaline pumping & doing things just for the thrill of it. If there was a door in front of her, Sydney would rather blow it up then simply check to see if its open. Bones often reprimands her for her wild & unorthodox ways but more than often, she is able to justify her lawless techniques.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Aviation:** Sydney is a skilled pilot. She can fly both planes & helicopters.
* **Determination**: Sydney is very focused on her job & her objectives. She's very good at what she does & she's always going to put her job or the extraction of her team first. As an experienced government operative, her headspace is always focused on the mission when in the field or being passively alert for threats.
* **Firearms:**If it shoots, she can fire it. She operates as the gun specialist of the team.
* **Hand to Hand Combat:** Since she was a kid, Sydney was a fighter. She frequently got into fight with the other military brats, usually leaving as victor. Later in life, Sydney trained with the Mexican Special Forces & the DEO. On the team, she is currently the most proficient in hand to hand combat though she could be bested by her former teammate Natalia Kassle.
* **Leadership:** When Danger Girl was first formed, Sydney worked side by side with Natalia with neither one necessarily taking a leadership role. When Abbey joined, Natalia became field commander until her apparent death. Sydney has since become DG's field commander, a role that Bones has wanted her to take since the beginning. Though she is occassionaly immature & needs Abbey to act as her voice of reason, Sydney commands respect from those around her & would never send someone to do a job she would not do herself (which can be wild considering Sydney's lack of fear for anything)
* **Military:** Sydney spent some years in the Navy, even joining the Special Forces.
* **Marksmanship:** Her commanding officer said she was one of his best marksman, a feat that Bones agrees with. Her marksmanship abilities allows her to be a skilled sniper & do recon for the team as well.
* **Seduction:** Sydney is a rambunctious flirt. She knows she's a very good looking girl & enjoys advertising it. She takes frequent advantage of her good looks on missions by using her curvy form to distract & defeat their nemeses. She's very into playing the femme fatale archetype & can get a little carried away sometimes even, when she doesn't have to.
* **Bullwhip:** Sydney uses a bullwhip as her primary weapon. She's very proficient in it, having learned how to use it when she was a kid.

### Weaknesses

* **Thrill Seeker:** Sydney enjoys taking risks & doing things just for the thrill of it. This can sometimes puts her in situations where she requires help.
* **Trust:** Sydney has always been considered an untrusting person. But since Natalie's betrayal of Danger Girl, Sydney's level of skepticism & lack of trust has reached new heights. This feeling is not just towards new people but extended to everyone she knows other than her sister. She considered Natalia to be her best friend, trusting her with her life. Her betrayal affected her so much that she received therapy.
