Zoe Lawton

## Background

### 2001 - Present: Zoe Lawton

Zoe is the daughter of the mercenary Floyd Lawton & his ex wife Michelle Torres. The two were high school sweethearts, with Michelle being the only girl that did not want his money. At the time of her birth, her parents were married & her father was a sergeant in the Marines. Though that may have been the case at the time, Zoe grew up raised by her single mother while her father was constantly away on "business." Despite her parents not being officially together, Floyd always showed love to Michelle whenever he came around. He taught Zoe how to fight & shoot, even leaving a gun for her to have when she came of age. For years, Zoe had glimpses of what a perfect life she could've had.

Though she was unaware of her father's work, Michelle's suspicions were confirmed the first time Floyd was arrested in the mid 2000s. She was unimpressed with his activities but when he began cleaning up some of the rival gangs to keep the area safe, she appreciated the effort but not how it was achieved.

When Zoe was seven, her connection to Floyd became known to some of his rivals, making both her & her mother a target. Floyd had gotten on the wrong side with one of the mob families, who decided to use their connections in the GCPD to kill Zoe. With the help of Batman, he stopped the attempt on their lives & they both made it abundantly clear that no one was to touch Michelle or Zoe again.

After the incident, Floyd put some distance between them in order to keep them safe. The next time Floyd showed up to see his daughter, he had a baby in hand. Once Floyd explained the situation, Michelle was not only annoyed that Floyd had another baby but that he was asking her to raise the child. But she couldn't say no to him & so Zoe gained a baby sister. Wanting him to be around his daughters more, Zoe tried to come up with opportunities for him to go straight but things did never worked in their favor.

As of now, Zoe splits her time spending it with her sisters, sending mail to her father & keeping up with her school work.
