History[]
Stephanie Brown (born April, 1997) was the only child and daughter born to Crystal Bellinger nee Brown, a registered nurse at Gotham City West Mercy Hospital, and then game show host Arthur Brown. Until the latter lost his job. After which he turned to a life of crime, leaving trademark clues as to his actions, which in turn earned him the alias of Cluemaster. Though for a long time both Stephanie and her mother were ignorant of her father's other life. Until one night when Stephanie heard a loud noise and went to investigate it. In doing so she found her father at the mercy of none other than Gotham City resident crime fighter Batman, who had his hands around Arthur's throat. For he had tracked the man down and intended on turning him over to the authorities for his crimes. But upon seeing Stephanie, and it being the early days of his crime fighting career, Batman decided to not take Arthur in and left. After which Stephanie quickly returned to her room and began trying to convince herself what she just witnessed was all simply a dream. Despite this the young girl inadvertently let details about what she witnessed slip to her mother Crystal. Which in turn led the woman to begin questioning her husbands activities, and eventually she discovered his criminal activities. Leading to major fights between the couple, all of which led to them to divorce. With Stephanie remaining in the care of her father. Namely due to her mother Crystal having an addiction to prescription pain killers.
Now alone in the care of her father Stephanie found herself being faced with his various puzzles. Being used as an unwitting test subject by Arthur to test his various ideas for years. Until early 2013 when one day Stephanie came home from school and accidentally walked in on her father and several of his associates talking about their criminal plans. Seeing this Stephanie finally admitted to herself the incident she saw between Batman and her father when she was a child was not simply a dream. Faced with this truth she immediately fled for her life and contacted her aunt and uncle. Who took her in without hesitation. Since despite the slight estrangement with her mother ever since her parents divorced she had stayed close with her maternal side of the family. Especially her cousins.
Yet despite now being safe Stephanie own innate altruistic nature could not allow her in good conscience to do nothing as her father continued committing crimes. So with that in mind Stephanie decided to make it her mission to "spoil" her fathers plans. Thus she began by spreading her father's actions via the internet and social media, as well as leaving anonymous tips for the police to follow up on. Stephanie actions gaining her the attention of Bat Clan members Barbara Gordon and the then Robin Timothy Drake. Who quickly deduced her connection to Cluemaster and her motivations for her actions in regards to him. Though Stephanie was unaware of this. That is until one night she decided simply letting others handle her father was not enough any longer, and wanting to handle him with her own two hands she fashioned a makeshift costume and took to the streets under the moniker of Spoiler.
Though Stephanie didn't get very far before being confronted by Tim and Barbra. Who then revealed they had been tracking Stephanie's actions for some time. Barbara also admitted she admired Stephanie spirit, since she reminded her of herself at that age, and so with that Barbara offered to trained Stephanie in the ways of crime fighting. An offer the young girl accepted. Thus she found herself eventually as a hero for all of Gotham. As well as eventually a trusted member and ally of the Bat Clan.
