## Physical Description

### Princess Charra: 2001 - 2006

Charlie's real name is Charra. She is the natural-born daughter of Lord Rellis of House Garnet and his wife, Princess Ellath of House Ruby.

When Charlie was still quite young, having just turned five, House Ruby went to war with Houses Emerald and Amethyst. Tensions between Ruby and Emerald had always existed, but when young Princess Emerald was missing, House Emerald made no secret that they believed House Ruby was behind the girl's disappearance. Despite the best efforts of King and Queen to broker a sit-down discussion, House Emerald enlisted the aid of House Amethyst and House Topaz in a conflict against House Ruby and its Northern allies House Garnet and House Sardonyx.

The alliance successfully pulled off a surprise raid on the palace of Ruby Ruins where Princess Ruby and Charra were, as well as Alis, Charra's half-sister. Many people were killed in the initial attack, but Princess Ruby survived, though gravely injured. She used her magic to take herself, Charra, and Alis out of danger. Princess Ruby and both girls ended up on Earth. The use of powerful magic while so hurt put Princess Ruby so close to death that her life-force could not contain the power of the Ruby Soul Shard, causing it to transfer to little Charra who had no idea how to use her magic to take them back to Gemworld.

### Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe: 2006 - 2009

Stranded in the Narrows of Gotham City, Ellath did manage to survive, but required the use of a cane afterward. She took the name Elaine Radcliffe while the girls became Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe and Alice Gage-Smith. Fearing their death if they should return to Gemworld, she encouraged both girls to forget about their magical heritage.

Despite Elaine's best efforts, Charlie and Alice had to learn to use their magical gifts during the Cataclysm to help protect their home and Elaine during that crisis, but when things returned to their usual state, the girls only practiced their powers together, in secret - both wanting to grow up and use their powers to become heroes for the people of the Narrows.

### Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe: 2009 - 2014

After damage to the apartment building during the Cataclysm had gone unseen to for years, Elaine and many other tenants began complaining to their inept landlord. When he failed to take the necessary actions, the tenants filed a lawsuit against him and after a lengthy court case, they won. In retaliation, the landlord set fire to his own building, hoping to collect the insurance money to pay off the debt. The fire killed over a dozen tenants, including Elaine Radcliffe.

Following Elaine's death, the girls' forged identities did not hold up under scrutiny. Making matters worse, as authorities believed Alice matched the description of a missing child from Texas, and suspected she had been kidnapped and brainwashed by Elaine, Alice was sent to live with a strange family while Charlie was put in a Gotham City orphanage.

When Alice was taken away, both girls promised they would find each other again. When Charlie's orphanage began to abuse her, she ran off and made do taking care of herself. Now a rough and tough street kid, Charlie was free to use her powers to dispense "*Darrrk Vennngeance!*"

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Oracle*) Charlie is the best. She is my favorite. There is no one on this planet I love more than Charlie Gage-Radcliffe. Not in a weird way. I just want Charlie to become Batgirl because she totes deserves it. Charlie even finds the time to teach me things, like right now she is teaching me to lock my computer when I take a quick trip to the bathroom. Oh, GTG!
* (*Submitted by Four-Eyes*) A "Princess Gem" is a female Gemworlder descended from the nobility who has inherited their House Soul Shard and then is distinguished by their house name, such as "Princess Amethyst" and "Princess Ruby". A Gemworlder of a noble house who has the potential to inherit a Soul Shard is known as a Noble or Radiant Gem. They often have much higher magical potential than the common people of Gemworld. This magical potential they often hold the most powerful positions in most facets of Gemworld life: military, trade, industry, politics, academia, etc. A commoner is simply called a Gemworlder, or Rough Gem. They have a slightly more magical aptitude than a normal human, but that's about it.

### Notes

* In the comics she's a Homo Magi.
	+ Her creator, Gail Simone, revealed that she had wanted to explore Misfit's real origin, but was unable to do so before DC Comics rebooted their comics and started the *New 52* series. Simone explained in a short interview that Misfit was actually born on Gemworld and had been a princess of the Ruby House.
* Her birth date is a nod to her first appearance: *Birds of Prey #96* in September, 2006.
* Her being related to Black Alice is from *Birds of Prey, Vol. 1 #118*. Note: the issue does not state they are half-sisters, only that they are relatives.
* Helena being her mentor might be a nod to *Titans Tomorrow* where Charlie took up the mantle of Huntress.
