Rocky Ballantine

## Background

### 1994 - 2011: Roxanne Ballantine

Roxanne, or Rocky as she prefers to be called, is the first born of Justin & Sarah Ballantine. After the birth of her two younger siblings, the family moved to Gotham. The three siblings got along famously & were constantly together. They would hatch a bunch of plans that incorporated both of their strengths. They would become even closer after their father was killed during the 2009 earthquake that ravaged Gotham. She & her family were able to smuggle themselves out of the city before things got worse.

When it was time to come back, her siblings stuck by her side until Rocky went off to attend Gotham University on a full scholarship. She spent the first semester trying to decide what to major in as she easily could have done any of them. She eventually settled on Technology & Software Development but she frequently filled her schedule with classes for other majors to keep her well rounded. Like many people in college, she became best friends with her roommate Sonia Alcana.
