Secret origins
Andrea Beaumont was born the only child of Carl and Victoria Beaumont, a powerful couple in Gotham’s wealthy elite. As a child of privilege, Andrea grew up in luxury, having everything she needed or wanted afforded to her. As a child, Andrea knew Bruce Wayne as a boy in the class ahead of her and gave him a wide berth as most of her classmates did due to his status as an orphan.
Andrea would later lose her own mother to a drunk driver when she was twelve. Andrea encountered Bruce Wayne at the cemetery where her mother and Bruce’s parents were buried. The two discovered they were kindred spirits after a long conversation, but when Andrea went to school the next day, eager to see Bruce in a new light, she discovered that Bruce has graduated early and left for Europe… but that would not be the last time she would see Bruce. In her first year of college, Andrea happened upon Bruce Wayne again at a high society Christmas party. Bruce had just returned to Gotham to put affairs in order before he intended to attend the FBI Academy at Quantico the next year. Not willing to let him leave her again, Andrea came on rather strong and Bruce reciprocated. The two of them engaged in a whirlwind romance that lasted months.
While Bruce and Andrea were falling in love (making Gotham’s gossip mags especially rich in the process), Andrea’s father had been setting up shell companies for many of Salvatore Maroni’s Lieutenants to launder money. Chucke So, Sal Valestra, and Buzz Bronski were becoming rich, but began to fear it was only a matter of time before their boss would learn of the wealth they were keeping from him and decided to kill Carl Beaumont to ensure his silence was kept. Carl survived a failed assassination attempt due to some warning from his friend and Maroni’s lawyer, Arthur Reeves. In retaliation, Carl drained the mob-bosses’ accounts and planned for a one-way trip to Europe. Andrea’s father could not leave his daughter in Gotham, knowing she’d be a target for the mobsters and forced to break off her romance with Bruce Wayne. Andrea did so, though it destroyed her to learn Bruce had bought her a ring.
After years on the run Carl disappeared, leaving Andrea alone in Europe, She later became an author of novels, using a pseudonym, based on her father’s dreams usually nightmares of a strange eldritch horror. Soon afterwards, Andrea returned to Gotham City and contacted her old flame. Seeing what’s become of her she blames herself. Returning to her mother's grave, she caught a glimpse of Batman watching her from behind the Waynes' gravestone. Since it was at this very spot that they met, Andrea quickly realized that Bruce Wayne was the man behind the mask.
