## History

### The Voices

Growing up in a middle-class family in the suburbs of Metropolis, June developed a love for the natural world. She was drawn to the local ravine, searching through the various rock formations for possible treasures. Having been ushered by her parents, June was able to make her way through high school. At the ripe age of 16, she received acceptance from Metropolis University. Once she had completed her b.a., Moore chose to enter Gotham University for her master's degree. Before long, she returned to Metropolis three years later in order to receive her Ph.D.

Upon her first expedition, June began to hear what she later strongly identified as the voice of the Enchantress. At the time, Dr. Moore was gathering evidence to support her thesis on Chalcolithic period ritual burial sites in the southern Levant. Many voices were present, but one seemed to rise above all. The others were simply nothing more than faint whispers, almost as if the sounds were nothing more than a tiny breeze drifting by.

### Obsession

She started creating what she believed was the origin of schizophrenia. As a result, she chose to take a brief break from her studies and findings. So she took up the art of oil painting on a Buddhist retreat in Thailand. The paintings, however, soon morphed into dark and twisted images of a dark figure. With every stroke of the brush, June found herself falling deeper into a pit of obsession. The voice haunted her, calling forth, demanding more and more each time. Soon, the unrecognizable face of the figure proceeded to morph into that of her own face. By now, the obsession had consumed her. Not a moment passed that wasn't spent on either painting or thinking about the figure. Moone never fully recovered from the psychological condition, despite returning to schooling and eventually entering the professional field as an archaeologist. Doctor Moone specialized in the ritual worship of earth-mother figures in pre-agrarian societies in South America.

### Enchantress

She set out on an expedition to the Tres Osos caves in the north-central highlands of Peru with the precise goal of collecting evidence to support her theory that the transhumant foragers that had once occupied Pacific littoral settlements forayed within the great vast valleys and highlands of the Andes. June wanted to prove the great broad subsistence economies that had once been there. Doctor Moone, on the other hand, had a very different goal in mind. Her thoughts were clouded by the dark figure who had become known as the **Enchantress**. Despite her studies, she couldn't escape the commands of the dark entity. Even in her sleep, she couldn't fend the being off. She now haunted her dreams, showing and instructing June to a location within the mountains. The witch taunted her with the threat of death if she failed to reach the said destination by a specific time.

Eventually, Moone became lost during the expedition. For hours, she stumbled in the dark, desperately trying to retrace her steps. One misstep led to the doctor's falling into a hidden cavern. There lay a tomb containing a vast series of containers, one in particular being in the shape of a doll. As if under a trance, she picked it up, caressing the item before carelessly and promptly snapping its head off. The seal broke, releasing an ancient spirit from another dimension. The voice, now louder than ever, seemed to speak as if it were from within her. Now there was finally an identity for the figure that had haunted her for so long. The spirit possessed her body, inhabiting her until she uttered her name: "Enchantress." Upon doing so, whether it be willingly or unwillingly, her normal consciousness would be overtaken by the ancient spirit.

### New York City Incident

When June awoke, she discovered herself in a bathtub amid carnage and horror. Her malevolent alter-ego magically set fire to her apartment complex, destroying it along with an inexplicable atmosphere that Enchantress purposefully created from the damage She opened her eyes in time for Richard Flag to rescue her and bring her to A.R.G.U.S.

She was brought to a remote island at Amanda Waller's request and with Rick Flag's assurance that she would serve Amanda Waller even if it meant doing so against her will.
