## History

  The Winter Soldier known to the public as Hayley Gray Barnes is a neutral hero from New York. She was raised into the Barnes family to be a hero, mainly by her father, since her mother died of cancer when she was only a few months old, and Bucky refuses to tell her about her mother. Hayley was a sophisticated girl at a young age, she always saw that the world around her was corrupted and definitely unsafe.

 So, she always wanted to find a way to make the world safer for people, so that’s when she had asked Bucky to help her train, since she knew he was a former assassin and that he knew how to fight. Hayley has been training everyday ever since she asked Bucky to help her with her training which made her a fierce girl. She use to be squeemy at seeing people die, but now it doesn’t even phase her. As long as they’re bad they deserve to go.

 Hayley has a friend named Taylor, who is Steve Rogers’ daughter. Hayley is rather close with Taylor since they are best friends due to their parents becoming best friends. Taylor brings out the very best in Hayley, and she’s the reason why Hayley is somewhat compassionate.

## Personality

Hayley is a fearless, confident and determined individual, though sometimes tempered. Hayley Barnes is a patient, disciplined, emotional, yet brave and bold operative with a deadpan focus; dedicated to her job of protecting the innocent. She is fiercely tenacious and idealistic in her mission to fight crime and corruption. Uniquely, she can be quite compassionate for a heronand sees the good in people, despite their difficult history and places it in high importance, as she believes it is what separates her from criminals. It is during these moments that Hayley has shown herself willing to be a maverick, disobeying orders and preconceived notions in order to do what she believes is right to elicit unexpected realities, but nonetheless cooperative and respectful. For this very reason, people feel she grounds her teammates and inspires them to be better.

      Growing up, Hayley was very lonely, except for having her friend Taylor. None of the other kids were pushed like she was. She was delusional to the point where she did not want to face the fact that the world was imperfect. After losing her mother figure and feeling a sense of abandonment, Hayley developed little sense of self-worth, and became very attuned to all the suffering around her because she could not shut it out. Hayley became a rescuer: one of those people who are more concerned with other people's welfare than their own. Somewhat of an obsession, Hayley began to chase justice, and easily made other people's problems her own, putting them before hers. This can also push herself and those who are close to her to the brink, as she sacrifices the wellbeing of herself and her teammates in order to endlessly pursue what is right. This often leads to her having trouble building relationships with others, as her constant self-sacrifice and stubbornness resulting from her strict moral code get in her way. She adopted a strong moral compass and a sense of honor and courage as the driving force behind her heroism.

      To hide her deepest insecurities, Hayley crafted a tough girl image and cultivated it throughout the years, but underneath it all she is still a vulnerable kid who lost her father, and eventually her mother, and had to grow up too soon.

        Hayley has a high desire for justice and doing the right thing. Unable to allow injustice, she got frustrated when the police or judicial system failed to help. She decided to work as a hero to save people and help where the justice system could not. During her acts of heroism, she demonstrated extreme selflessness as she kept risking her life for others, even after she barely made it out of dangerous situations and ended up badly wounded on multiple occasions. Shs strived to protect the innocent and apprehend the guilty without taking a life.

       Hayley’s code of crime fighting is to protect the innocent and apprehend the guilty, but not kill. She prioritizes an initial civil approach while confronting criminals (even demanding surrender), as she believes everyone can be a force for good, but will proceed to violence if they resist. While fighting crime, she can be very brutal and heavily injure criminals in such a manner as breaking their bones. She has hospitalized multiple criminals in this regard. However, she has avoided intentionally killing anyone so far and limits himself to hand-to-hand combat and less than lethal weapons so as to not inflict fatal injuries, even if this results in herself getting injured during fights. She usually attempts to avoid killing people, as she believes she is on thin ice as it is and that doing so will make her no better than the people she's fighting. Her refusal to kill earns her heavy criticism.

       Despite this all, Hayley Barnws is one of the kindest people anyone will ever meet. She is very understanding and good at giving hope and inspiration.

Her father, Bucky Barnes trained her since she was 8 years old to be the supersoldier that he was.

Her combat skills are a variety of martial arts and street fighting techniques, and she can employ both lethal and non-lethal tactics to overcome her enemies. She is fond of employing butterfly kicks and tornado kicks in a fight, both for their effectiveness and especially the latter for their deceptive nature.

Prior to this, she could improvise a shield with a nearby manhole cover.

Her tactics and ingenuity are far beyond those of typical ninja. She rarely lets her emotions cloud her judgment or panics, and is able to calmly assess her tactical situation and determine the wisest course of action, and even has the wisdom to retreat if her position is untenable, meaning she has clarity: a vital trait in both a ninja and leader. She can formulate, coordinate and execute both attack strategies and tactical retreats, and devise methods of locating enemies. She has coined some of her own strategies, such as the Dodgeball Strategy, where a speedster gathers enemy ammunition, or the Patty Cake technique, where she and a speedster perform an elevated hand slap at high velocity to generate a lateral concussive shockwave.
