## Background

### 1982 - 2003: Dana Blake

Dana Rae Blake is the eldest daughter of George Robert Blake & Elizabeth "Lizzie Maxwell. As the first child of the Blake family, Dana was expected to meet all her father's expectations. In the small town of Coolsville, most people tended to either follow in their parents' footsteps or leave for their big city dreams. Dana wanted to do the latter.

When it was time for college, Dana originally started as a business major but after taking an elective on juvenile delinquency, she became fascinated on the subject. Unbeknownst to her father, she changed her major to criminology. It was in this major that she met Randy Hanrahan, the star football player of Gotham University's Nighthawks. The two hit it off after a late night study session & soon became a couple. When her parents came up to school for a surprise visit, they not only discovered that Dana was dating "some jock," but that she also was not a business major. Her parents threatened to pull their funding of her education if she did not get her studies together but Randy interjected, saying he would pay for it with his new signed deal as a professional football player.

### 2003 - 2009: Dana Hanrahan

After that, Dana didn't see her parents for some time. Her mother constantly tried reaching out but Dana was still upset. Leaning on Randy, she was still able to graduate at the top her class. Her graduation was quickly followed by her entering Gotham's police academy & getting engaged (then quickly married).

While Dana quickly became model officer on the police force, Randy suffered a severe ACL injuries to both his knees that prevented him from playing anymore. Luckily, Dana had helped him manage his money so it was not all just blown away. Using his size to his advantage, Randy became a bouncer at a local club.

In just a few years, Dana was assigned to the homicide unit after making detective. Her work was so stellar that Commissioner Gordon considered Dana to be a rising star in the department & even said she might make captain one day. While Dana was making strides at the GCPD, Randy had gotten himself a new job working at the Iceberg Lounge. Despite her uneasiness about Randy working for the Penguin, he took the job anyways. Then The Cataclysm hit the city. Alongside some other officers, she stayed in the city during No Man's Land & personally assisted Commissioner Gordon in many feats. Though Dana believed Randy had left the city, he actually found himself sticking around with the Penguin.

### 2009 - Present: Dana Hanrahan

When the dust settled, Dana was one of the officers who had survived the year-log ordeal & received many accolades among her fellow officers. Upon finding her husband, she learned that he had been given the title of "repossessor of defaulted loans." It soon became clear that he was the Penguin's personal enforcer. Dana & Randy took some time apart following this. After Nightwing had a run-in with the Penguin & Randy in Blüdhaven & handed them both over to the GCPD, Dana officially filed for separation.

Following Randy's arrest & incarceration at Arkham Asylum, Dana decided out to reach to her parents. Though they had somewhat made amends & talked once a month (if that), the three of them had yet to actually discuss things in depth. Dana took some time off from work & came to Coolsville for the week, staying at her parents' house as they reconnected over lost time. While her youngest sisters Delilah & Daphne were excited to see her, their other three sisters seemed to have not forgotten Dana's time away. Despite apologies & tears, the tension did not disappear between the three sisters & Dana.

When it was time to return to Gotham, Dana elected to keep her head down & focus on solving many cases as she could. The Homicide Unit Captain, Nicky Lincoln, wasn't keen on giving Dana too many cases, feeling she may be compromised due to her husband's affiliations. But in light of some digging into the Penguin, Captain Lincoln was outed as corrupt officer himself, having been in league with Cobblepot. His Lieutenant, Ellen Yin took over as Captain of the Homicide Unit & made sure Dana knew that she held nothing against her.

Since then, Dana has done her job diligently & even has crossed paths (and worked) with the Dark Knight. As for her personal life, Dana & Randy have become cordial again following his second release from prison. But as for their marriage, that's still up in the air.
