**Place of Death:**
Star City, WA

## Background

### 1971 - 1993: Bonnie King

Bonnie was born in Star City to Mildred "Millie" King & an unknown man. Her mother treated Bonnie as an experiment, something she could make a profit off of. Since she was a child, Bonnie was enrolled in various intellectual & athletic programs to see which would be her specialty. After a particularly good day at archery range, Bonnie was set up in an archery program by her domineering mother, who kept a constant &strict eye on her daughter's progress. She soon became exceptional at the sport, even participating in the 1992 Olympics, earning herself a bronze medal. Unfortunately, "bronze" was not an acceptable color for Millie. She berated Bonnie, leading to an argument with Millie going at length about Bonnie's "failure" at the games. After the argument, Bonnie left home & archery, effectively ending all ties to her mother, leading to a permanent estrangement.

### 1993 - 1998: Arrowette

Now living alone in Star City, Bonnie got her own place with some help from her extended family. Working as an freelance archery instructor, Bonnie was able to use her Olympic medal to her enough clients to get by. She soon became inspired by the violent vigilante, The Hood & decided to use her archery skills as a vigilante too, but with less brutal tendencies. After making a costume herself, she took on the name Arrowette. With an arsenal of trick arrows, she stopped some low level crimes & even attempted to assist The Hood but he quickly rebuffed her, much to their dismay. Despite her impressive archery skills, Bonnie was no good at super-heroics, being both too clumsy for stealth & too vain for masks. Though she failed as a hero, Bonnie eventually seduced The Hood but got way more than she bargained for. She was pregnant.

Before she was even able to inform the vigilante of their child, he disappeared from the face of the Earth. There was no sign of The Hood, leading many to assume he was killed or moved to a new city. While pregnant, Bonnie met & became acquainted with journalist Bernell "Bowstring" Jones after saving from some gang members. The two quickly developed an attraction, with Bonnie revealing her civilian identity & pregnancy. Doing the unexpected, Bernell not only agreed to raise her child but also proposed. When Bonnie gave birth to her daughter, they named her Suzanne "Cissie" King-Jones. After taking some maternal leave, Bonnie continued her crimefighting heroics though she did not accomplish much. When Cissie was three, Star City received a new hero by the name of Green Arrow. Feeling the city no longer needed her & recognizing the onset of carpal tunnel in her wrists, Bonnie gave up crimefighting to become a secretary at the Star City Hall.

### 1998 - 2010: Bonnie King-Jones

When Bonnie had her daughter, she swore she would be a better mother than hers ever was. That promise was proven to be done in vain as Bonnie became just as controlling as her own mother. Wanting Cissie to be the perfect daughter, Bonnie enrolled her in archery, judo, kick-boxing, gymnastics & ballet, just to name a few. It got to the point that Cissie had little to no social life, leading to resentment & tension between the two.

One night, the three of them of them went out to dinner at Bernell's insisting of family time after Cissie complained about her mother. To make thing better, Cissie chose the restaurant, a seafood place called Catch Em. Things seemed to go well until Bonnie became extremely sick in the following days, having ate some bad shellfish. After being bedridden for days, Bonnie passed away. With the life insurance money left, Bernell set up a trust fund for Cissie for her to decided what she wanted to do in life. Though Cissie could have been anything in the world, she chose to become a superhero, which may or may not be because of her mother.
