Sharon Carter

## Background

### 1979 - 2001: Sharon Carter

Sharon Carter is the daughter of Harrison & Amanda Carter. She is the great niece of Margaret "Peggy" Carter, a heroic freedom fighter during World War II as well as the co-founder & former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the international espionage agency.

Sharon grew up listening to her aunt Peggy telling her war stories, especially about the great hero Captain America. She would become inspired by her aunt, wanting to follow in her footsteps. Though her mother protested, Peggy still bought Sharon her first thigh-holster shortly before her aunt's passing.

After attending college, Sharon decided to honor her aunt & applied for a job at S.H.I.E.L.D. Though she did her best to ensure she would not be in her aunt's shadow by refusing to disclose her surname, Nick Fury knew exactly who she was & told her he was going to hire regardless due her many skills.

### 2001 - 2008: Agent 13

In no time, Sharon became a high ranking field agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. She received the codename Agent 13 as her targets always felt that they had bad luck whenever they encountered her & were swiftly neutralized.

Sharon's first meeting with Captain America happened in 2004 while she working undercover for S.H.I.E.L.D. She took on the name Kate while undercover, masquerading as a nurse & flirting with him to make sure that he continued to not be a threat. After disclosing she was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. following an attack on him, the two would end up crossing paths many times with each other. Feeling somewhat wrong for keeping her personal life from him, S.H.I.E.L.D. allowed her to disclose her secret identity & that she was the great niece of his former friend, Peggy.

Though it would throw him for a loop, Steve decided to look past it. The two started a relationship after Steve brought her along as his date to the wedding of Tony Stark & Pepper Potts.

Due to her promotion in S.H.I.E.L.D., Sharon began reporting directly to Director Nick Fury & continued to specifically support Captain America with his activities. The two continued to work together & remained close, even if they weren't romantically involved at the moment. They even worked together during the huge investigation of the Winter Soldier.

### 2008 - 2010: The Dryad

After having been together for two years, Sharon discovered that she was pregnant. By the pushing of Rogers, Nick Fury would take Sharon out of active duty after her first trimester. He also didn't want any of their enemies to find out she was pregnant as they may use the baby of Captain America for their own twisted purposes.

Though she did her best, her pregnancy became knowledge to HYDRA who decided to kidnap her. Steve came to her apartment to see the agents trying to escape an unconscious Sharon. He managed to fight some of them off but was easily outnumbered. When the agents realize they wouldn't be able to leave with Sharon, they followed their contingency plan & stabbed Sharon in the stomach, causing her to lose her baby. In his rage, Steve was able to incapacitate ever HYDRA agent. He immediately took her to a S.H.I.E.L.D. base so they could use advanced technology to save her & the baby but the doctor informed him that the baby was already gone. Steve waited by her bedside for her to wake up so that he could tell her the bad news, causing her to cry uncontrollably & soon become inconsolable. Steve said it was the saddest sight & even had the doctors medicate her with sedatives to calm her down.

Following the death of her child, Sharon became reclusive but soon went back to work to distract herself, despite Steve's protests. Not long after, she took on the leadership role of the Daughters of Liberty & became The Dryad, working alongside other female superheroes. She spent the following months systematically taking out many of HYDRA's safe houses throughout New York City & the northeastern coast. As leader, Sharon has led the sisterhood of guardians to defeat the many enemies of freedom.
