Backstory:
Frances Drew was raised with both her parents and, as it was hard to keep the danger of their lives from home, knew at a young age all about the 'special pajamas' and their work. Every now and then, she became entangled in some villains' plot to get at one or the other, which might be where she got the taste for the lifestyle. (Although during an escape, her mother was hit by an RPG and dropped her midflight. From then on the little girl became uneasy about flying and hated the feeling of freefall. She later learned to get over it to be able to do HALO jumps for missions, but it still isn't her favorite hobby.) Worried their daughter would try to get into the family business, Jessica tried to divert her attention with music lessons and focus on her schoolwork, but her natural aptitude for archery (and getting in fights) soon proved her intent to follow in her parents' footsteps. Throughout primary school, she grew into a cocky and out-spoken child, for better or worse, and a bit of a tomboy by preferring outdoor activities and hands-on learning. She trained with her father with her archery, even making captain of the high school team, and once accepting she lost the fight, her mother helped with martial arts training.
An extroverted and confident young woman, Frances made it through college with a degree in international relations, a requirement Clint had demanded before she applied to SHIELD. Balancing study with play, Frances dated both men and women and partied with all types, slowly acquiring both needed worldliness as well as the beginning of networking that would help her collect information in the future. Upon graduation, she immediately applied for the agency, undergoing the training within and without SHIELD to qualify for active duty status and the title of Hawkeye. In SHIELD she developed a reputation for confronting claims of nepotism, and any allusions against either of her parents' pasts. Frances wasn't one to back down from a fight, even when it was clear the odds were against her, which did earn her respect amongst the doubters. Her skills with a rifle also allowed her to join many teams and make connections with other professionals in the military, with work as a sniper with the Rangers.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: She can be coming back from an Army/SHIELD co-op tour in the Middle East and have to suit up for a attack or threat on American soil, maybe a hostage situation where she needs to play sniper to support another's play or be the Loud Obnoxious Distraction.
What are you planning to do with this character? Take up the Hawkeye mantle in the Avengers, including heckling the boy scouts-types, questioning orders she doesn't like, kicking up trouble while jumping in to defend friends, flirt to trip people up, possibly take on the black-ops missions needing a snipe with a steady hand. She possible can be altered to express her mother's genes, then she has to learn how to function with them.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: Upgrade to meta to have to learn new skills, possibly see her also do some of Clint's Ronin-type of work on the side, run missions with the other Avengers as well as bond with them, go undercover for some ops,
