Halo

The Aura Girl…

Halo is discovered by Batman in the midst of a search and rescue mission in Markovia.   Frightened by Batman’s appearance the girl wakes up suddenly, begins to fly and fire off beams at Batman, but shortly after collapses.   Amnesiac and fairly weak from her experience, yet endowed with amazing light based powersThe extraordinary abilities that a characterAny sentient entity that appears in a comic book. (Example: Superman, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and Krypto the Super Dog are all characters that appear in Superman comics). may possess. (Example: Aquaman can telepathically control marine life as one of his powers.), Batman asks her to join his mission and she becomes a founder of The Outsiders, along with Metamorpho, Black Lightning, Katana, and Geo-Force.

Halo is set up with a secret identityA characterAny sentient entity that appears in a comic book. (Example: Superman, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and Krypto the Super Dog are all characters that appear in Superman comics). that keeps who they really are under wraps so that only a few people know who they actually are. (Not even Lois Lane suspects that mild mannered reporter Clark Kent is really Superman in disguise.), Gabrielle Doe and appears extremely naive with regards to human interaction.   The only real clue about Gaby’s real identity is that when she uses her Violet aura she passes out.   To mirror his relationship with Robin, Batman pairs Katana with Halo in the hopes that each of them finds what they are looking for outside of costumed life.

Gabrielle appears to be a normal human female, but since not a lot about her is known it is hard to say what vulnerabilitiesA characterAny sentient entity that appears in a comic book. (Example: Superman, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and Krypto the Super Dog are all characters that appear in Superman comics).'s weakness. she might possess.

Amnesia – Halo has no recollection of what her life was like before she woke up in Markovia, as a result her past is shrouded in mystery and a constant source of questioning.

Naive – She seems horribly innocent about human interaction, this allows her to be a bit more gullible and trusting than the other members of the Outsiders.

Violet Aura – Halo tried to use this aura once and passed out.   As a result she avoids switching to purple/violet light at all costs.
