Pallas Taylor

## Background

### 1996 - 2009: Pallas Taylor

Born in a town right outside of the formerly standing Las Vegas, Pallas was the second born daughter of Taylor family & the twin sister of Rachel. Unlike her older sister Judy, she was prone to violent outbursts & was an aggressive child. It was not abnormal to see Pallas in the principal's office with her parents & the latest victim of her antics. Though a trouble child, Pallas always got along with her sisters, seeing them as her best friends. And she would need them more than ever after their mother abandoned them when she was only eleven.

After her mother's disappearance, the girls stuck together more than ever as they had to fend more for themselves. Though they were usually with their mother, they now spent endless time with their dad at his regular card games. Judith had picked up a job to help with the bills then when her & Rachel got old enough, they followed suit leaving only the youngest with their dad. Unknown to her & her younger sisters, their father was running a scam that would eventually end with him getting riddled with bullets as they waited outside for him from his match.

### 2009 - 2012: Pallas Taylor

Judy would become their new protecter, filling the motherly role to perfection for Pallas & her sisters. The two of them got random jobs to keep some type of steady income while their Rachel & Argine ran small scams on anyone gullible enough to give them money.

Things continued this way, with them squatting in some abandoned building until Judy was able to score a job at a finance consulting firm. The money was good enough to get them a one bedroom apartment with all of them rotating who would get the bed & floor every night.

### 2012 - 2015: Pallas Taylor

Life began to look better for them when they moved to Gotham. Judy's firm was bought out by Wayne Enterprises & she was picked to come join them. They all packed up the little stuff that they owned then flew out on the company's dime. Following in her sister's footsteps, Pallas would somehow get a job at the Wildcat Gym. She didn't do much other than clean up after the boxers but she was also getting some lessons from Ted Grant. Pallas mostly took the lessons to let off some steam but she would soon get a chance to use her new skills after learning one of their dad's former gambling partners was in town.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Computer Operation:** Though not as skilled as her sister Argine, she is able to do advanced hacking.
* **Driving:** She first learned how to drive when she was fourteen after she & her sisters hotwired a car.
* **Firearms:** When not using her bare hands, Pallas uses a sidearm to incapacitate. However, the gun usually serves as a threat more than a weapon as the Face Cards don't aim to injure innocents.
* **Intimidation:** The girl is scary. Plain & simple. She is easily the most intimidating of her sisters & the most brutal.
* **Hand to Hand Combat/Martial Arts:** Pallas did a lot of street fighting when she was homeless with her sisters. She further improved her skills when she got job at the Wildcat Gym. She didn't take any formal lessons but Ted taught her the basics of boxing, which she later expanded on. Her fighting style is considered brute & quite violent, with Pallas trying to do the most damage possible with her hits.
* **Leadership:** Pallas has stepped up as a leader for the team multiple times, most notably after she & her sisters killed their dad's murderer. Judy felt guilt over killing a man for the first time, leading to Pallas getting everyone back on track.
* **Lock Picking:** She is an expert at picking locks.
* **Tracking:** She is quite skilled in tracking. This skill mostly stems from her tracking down other kids than would bully her & her sisters. She was the one to track down her father's killer after Argine spotted him.

### Weaknesses

* **Rage:** Pallas is usually described as aggressive, blunt & violent. While this is good when she needs to intimidate someone, it also leads to her making rash & impulsive decisions that sometimes come back to bite her in the ass.
