EARLY MORNING NOT-MEME

[exceptfebruary]

This one is really simple:

WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S RELATIONSHIP TO THEIR FATHER?

You can also talk about mother/lusus/creator/whatever if your character doesn't have a father, but ANYWAY

Father's Day is on the 17th, let's talk about DADDY ISSUES.

HELENA

[puggle]

Helena's dad was Batman.

Which isn't really terrible, in her case. Bruce was a loving, doting father to his only daughter. She was spoiled, treated like an absolute little princess and given anything her heart desired. But she was also trained by her father to fight and be a detective, training which began after her mother taught her how to break and enter. Helena fears becoming her mother and becoming a criminal, and she's weirdly focused on her father, the man and the figure. It's implied that Bruce also feared what Helena could become if Selina's influence was left unchecked, thus the Bat-training began. Helena has lived her entire life in Bruce's shadow, both as Helena Wayne and as the Huntress. She has some jealousy and resentment toward him, despite her fierce love for him. She doesn't want to simply be known as Batman's daughter. She also realizes that her father was a man, despite his status as a legend. She accepts his mistakes, embraces them even, because she feels closer to him that way. He wasn't perfect and neither is she.
