Vera Blackwood has lived in Gotham for the last 3 months. She has spent this time watching, analyzing and gathering data on the criminal procedures that take place all throughout the city, as well as the superheroes that come in and save the day. From a past with drug addiction and seeing it take the people she loves away, she's finally lost everything, and has dedicated whatever life she has left to cleaning to streets up in whatever means are necessary. Even if it means spilling blood, and a lot of it.
After two weeks of planning, she assassinates two kingpins of the methamphetamine industry. After killing them and destroying their newest shipment, she is hunted down by The Red Hood, a man she had studied almost as much as Batman and Nightwing. His arrival in Gotham had been swift and the public had no idea his true identity. He has been hunting her down, as the drug cartels she's taking down piece by piece are all under his control. But she refuses to back off, thus a rivalry begins.
In Vera's personal life, she's practically a ghost, though she begins attending nightly english classes at the local Gotham Public University in the pursuit of becoming an author one day (if she makes it that far). Her apartment is shitty and in one of the dirtiest parts of town, and the morning after her confrontation with Red Hood, she meets her nextdoor neighbor who shares a corner wall with her. She had assumed him to be old, as he listened to a lot of old music, but he's around her age and fairly handsome, though slightly annoying as he offers his help with her slipping box of things.
Soon, the arrival of an old Mobboss that ruined her life in New York arrives in Gotham, and her rivalry with Red Hood becomes the least of her problems. Will she open up to him and get his help with the kingpin taking over the underground, or will she succumb to his efforts?
