## Physical description

### Early Life

Elizabeth "Beth" Kane was the daughter of Jacob and Gabi Kane. She was also the twin sister of Kate Kane. Beth was close to her sister and the two spent all their time together. Gabi even bought them a necklaces. Saying the ruby was their way to always find each other.

Jacob and Gabi were both military which led to Beth, Kate, and Gabi being captured by terrorists. When Jacob arrived to save them, only Kate was alive. But it was later revealed that Beth survived as well. And she was now left all alone.

### Cartwright

Beth was later found by August Cartwright. She believed she had found a way to get back home but August kept Beth. Seeing her as a way to get a daughter. August also had a son, Jonathan. Jonathan was disfigured which had led to August never letting Jonathan leave the house. Not until he was able to fix his son's face.

While in Cartwright's house, Beth befriended Jonathan. The two read Alice in Wonderland nearly every day. Leading to Beth calling Jonathan "Mouse".

Beth was held captive by August who believed he could remake her into his own. Beth was held there for three years until she was able to escape. She did so by cutting August across his face with a broken spoon. She then left and tried to take Jonathan with her but August grabbed Jonathan.

### Religion of Crime

It only took a few days until Beth was found by the Religion of Crime. At this point, Beth had began developing a split personality. She called this personality Alice because of the book Alice in Wonderland. With the new alias, Alice began working with the Religion of Crime. Even gaining the title of High Madame.

With the Religion of Crime, Alice began gaining allies. Even making sure they betrayed the Religion of Crime to join Alice's new Wonderland Gang. Alice had planned to get to Gotham City as she believed it was the best way to get her revenge on her father for not saving her. Alice also sought out Jonathan again. He now went by the name Mouse as he joined the Religion of Crime as well. As soon as Alice had made enough members loyal to her, Alice killed the rest. Only a few was able to escape.

### Return to Gotham City

Alice and Mouse later returned to Gotham City to kill Jacob Kane. But in doing so, Alice ran into Batwoman. The two fought each other more than once. Seeing Batwoman's eyes, Alice realized who she was fighting. It was her sister, Kate Kane.

When Alice learned Jacob had remarried, she found Catherine Hamilton-Kane and executed her in front of her daughter. Alice then kidnapped Jacob to tell her what she had done. She also told Jacob that she was his daughter, Beth. Kate would fight Alice once again and this time she saw Alice's necklace. Realizing she was battling her sister, Kate tried to save Alice.

Alice's Beth personality began to show once more. This led to Alice showing doubt. Due to this, Mouse tried to kill Kate on his own. Furious, Alice killed Mouse. But she regretted it afterwards. The next time Alice and Batwoman met, the two fought and Kate made sure Alice was sent to Arkham Asylum to get help.

### Arkham Asylum

In Arkham, Alice got real help. Batman used his contacts to make sure Alice got more help than most other inmates at Arkham. This led to the Beth personality returning. She was now 50% Beth and 50% Alice. Kate got to Arkham every week to meet with his sister. But it took longer for Jacob to meet her because Alice had killed his wife.

After a year in Arkham Asylum, Beth was declared sane enough to live outside of the asylum. She was now 50% Beth and 50% Alice. Meaning she was enough Beth to make sure she wouldn't hurt anyone.

### A Free Woman

As Beth got out, Kate made sure the two could live together. They tried to have a normal sister ship. Kate even helped Beth to get a job at a store but it barley worked as the Alice personality was rude to different people. In time, the Alice personality began liking Kate as well.

Jacob Kane later took Beth to her mother's grave. This was the first time she had been there. Beth burst out crying on her father's shoulder. Even her other personality was sad over her mother's death.

### Flamebird

When Kate Kane was in danger, Beth stole a spare Batwoman suit and used it to save his sister. After returning, Beth argued she needed to help people as a hero. It made her feel happier than she had ever done since her mother died. Kate was unsure but later agreed. Luke Fox modified the spare Batwoman suit into something new. Beth took on the name Flamebird even if Luke suggested "Hawkfire".

Beth would help Kate on most of her missions. She became sort of a sidekick to Batwoman. Beth also joined up with the Birds of Prey and became an honorable member of the team. During this, Beth befriended Cassandra Cain as both had pasts full of darkness.
