Michelle Carter

## Background

### 1982 - 2007: Michelle Carter

Michelle Carter is the twin sister of Michael Carter, as well as the daughter of Jon & Ellen Carter. Her father was a chaotic man, constantly in debt because of his gambling habit. He was an abusive husband, whose actions frequently landed his wife in the hospital. Because of a failed payment, he now has a scar & dead eye at the right side of his face. Because he never landed a finger on the children, their mother stayed with him as when did win in the gambling rings, he would win big & pay for things around the house.

Michelle chose to mostly ignore her father, acting as though he never existed to her. She took care of her mother the best she could then spent the rest of her time focusing on school or at cheerleading practice. Michelle was quite accomplished as a cheerleader, landing the spot of team captain with Michael was the star quarterback. When it was time for college, Michael was recruited heavily by schools across the country but decided to stay local & attend Gotham University with his sister so they could both watch over their mother.

While Michelle stayed focused on her classes, her brother was being forced to throw games in order to pay his debts. When it was time for the play-offs, Michael went against his father & played his ass off. When he & Michelle returned home, they found that their father had beaten their mother to death. Jon was taken away by the police & the twins were taken in by their maternal uncle Daniel, Rip's father. Unfortunately, the school had discovered Michael was throwing games from their dad's trial & he was banned from football.

After college, Michelle got a simple job working behind a desk while Michael decided to become a superhero, taking on the name Booster Gold. He eventually used his heroics to get himself multiple deals & to amass a small fortune, allowing himself to start a business called Booster Gold International.

### 2007 - Present: Goldstar

Her brother was able to save her but became severely wounded in his rescue attempt & was put into a hospital. While recuperating, member of the 100 slip into the hospital & attempt to kill Booster. Michelle, using her brother's costume, saves him at the last second.
