If there's anything to be said about Harper Row in terms of initial impressions, it's definitely the fact that she does a stellar job encapsulating the image of disaffected youth. At 5'5", Harper is far from tall, and the often-slouched way she carries herself probably doesn't help to make her seem any taller. Her entire appearance reeks of modern punk aesthetics, from her multitude of piercings to the messy undercut she sports; both sides of her head shaved, her hair is dyed a purple so dark it seems black in certain lights save for her forelock, dyed a bright jaybird blue and spilling sloppily over her pale features. She is attractive, in an androgynous way, her fine eyebrows dark and her eyes a grayish blue, possessed of a naturally inquisitive look. Her face is heartshaped, cheekbones high, and her lips slightly thin. They usually go without lipstick; when they do, it's usually some varying shade of gray or black. Those pale features are typically decorated with any number of piercings: a pair of cartilage piercings at the tops of either ear, and a pair of lobe piercings at the bottom, all small, stainless steel hoops; a stainless steel, circular barbell nosering goes through her septum; and a Madonna piercing decorates her upper lip.
Harper's figure is lean, her musculature a more wiry sort and her curves modest. Her choice in clothing typically contributes to the androgynous punk appearance she's cultivated for herself, usually in the form of flannel shirts, jeans, and boots of varying stripes.

Her pants are a pair of close-fitting jeans, leading to a pair of cheap black combat boots, laced up the front and well-worn with use and age.

History
Click to expand.
Harper Row has never had what one would call an "easy" life. Born to poverty in Gotham's Narrows, her mother Miranda died when both she and her brother Cullen were very young under unclear circumstances. Their father, Marcus Row, was a minor criminal of little renown in Gotham. He wasn't very good at his highly illegal career choices, but he -was- particularly adept at abusing and neglecting his children.
Because of this, it fell to Harper to care for Cullen, especially during the long stretches when Marcus would simply abandon them for lack of care during his many criminal schemes. It was during this time that Harper came to see herself as a "fixer," learning much about day-to-day parenting and showing a profound knack for electronics as she dabbled with ways to make her and Cullen's life easier. During an incident where the Gotham was seized in a city-wide blackout, with their father nowhere to be found, Harper built a night light for her brother out of little more than a battery and a bulb -- and made use of that scant light to start work on emancipating herself and her brother from their father.
Squirreling away in a rundown apartment in the Narrows, hidden away from their abusive father, Harper got a job performing maintenance for the city's electrical engineer and officially took over in caring for her brother -- and protecting him, when bullies started to harass him for his sexual preferences. And it was during that time, attempting to fend off the people who had taken to abusing her brother, that Harper met the person who would change her life: the Batman.
It was all over in a flash she barely remembered; Batman defended her and her brother and left just as quickly, leaving no real sign of his passing aside from the freedom from the torment of her brother's bullies. Likely nothing more than a blip in the scheme of things. Yet, it left an indellible mark on Harper who, in that moment, decided what many an impressionable youth decided before her: she wanted to be like the Batman.
Of course, she got rebuffed. Repeatedly. Warned away, repeatedly. Ignored the wisdom of her betters, repeatedly. And through sheer stubborn tenacity and a profound ability to not be able to ever take a hint, she eventually ingratiated herself with and became a part of Gotham's network of vigilantes under the alias of Bluebird.

Personality
Click to expand.
Look out! It's a teenager with attitude!
More than anything else, Harper Row is a girl defined by her innate need to fix the things around her. She grew up wanting to fix an abusive family, and she did. She grew up wanting to fix the shoddy lifestyle her brother was forced to live in, and she did -- to the best of her ability. She grew up wanting to fix Gotham's problems... and now she's helping. Kind of.
People, places, things -- it doesn't matter. Harper will first and foremost view any problem like an engineer, looking for the root cause and finding the right tool to set things right. It's what gives her such an uncanny capacity with electronics and her inventive mind. It's also what makes her so fiercely protective and independently-minded... and what makes her feel the strong need to tackle any problem, even when it far outstrips her ability.
In many ways, it's a double-edged sword, but one that Harper accepts fully -- as much as someone her age -can- accept the consequences of their actions, anyway. Harper is who she is, and she is unafraid to be herself; from her appearance to her attitude, Harper Row is unapologetically Harper Row. She is hot-headed, she is sarcastic, she has trouble listening to authority figures thanks to deep-seated problems with her family. She tends to shoot from the hip, very opinionated and unafraid to voice just what she thinks when she thinks it -- which has a habit of coming back to bite her at the worst times.
But at the same time, Harper is so vocal and reckless because she cares and simply hasn't had the proper parentage to know how to express this in a particularly healthy way; while raising her brother has forced her to grow up in many ways, in others, she is still woefully in need of guidance. But she always means the best. And she always -tries- her best. She is driven to prove herself even to her own detriment -- to prove herself able to fix the problems of the things and people she cares about, no matter what.
Even if she's a huge pain in the ass sometimes.

Skills
Click to expand.
BASIC HAND-TO-HAND
She's a far cry from the martial arts madness of Batman and many other members of the Bat Family, and she still has a lot of training to even get remotely there, but Harper has a basic knowledge of close-quarters combat. Enough to fend for herself against Generic Nameless Thugs, at least. ... If there's not too many of them. Like, one or two or something. Hey, she's learning!
COMPUTER OPERATION
Pursuant to her background with electronics, Harper is very, very good with computers, both with physically tampering with them and with the more digital aspects, such as hacking. Harper is adept at computer engineering and computer programming -- you know, like any good teen with attitude.
DEDUCTION
Like any good (kind of) member of the Bat Family, Harper is pretty good at putting two and two together. She has a knack for assembling a decent narrative out of assembled evidence, and if she's wrong on something, she's fairly good at course-correcting towards the next most likely outcome. Her ability in finding people and connecting dots despite a lack of resources (until recently) is fairly impressive, all things considered.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Having been fiddling with electronics and technical work since she was a child, Harper has a natural gift with technology. She is a technical genius and a prodigy at electrical engineering, gifted enough that she has made improvements on some various Bat-gadgets and has homebrewed a number of impressive inventions, made even more so by her considerably limited resources.
MACGYVERING
Much of Harper's life, she has been getting by on the bare minimum. Living in the Narrows and supporting herself and her brother, she often had to get by through her own inventive mind. Harper has a well-spring of creativity and a true talent at constructing makeshift tools out of mind-bogglingly basic materials, making her skilled at adapting to a given situation on the fly. It's MacGyver! In punk form!
MARKSMANSHIP
By far where she excels in combat situations; while she's still basically a novice, Harper has a natural talent for ranged combat and tends to lean on it when she can. She's a good shot, with both the accuracy and the technical knowledge to know where to aim to really do the most (non-lethal) damage she can. She's no Deadshot, but she has a wealth of potential.
QUICK STUDY
Harper is both sharp-minded and eager (perhaps over-eager) to prove herself and be of help; both of these qualities lend to an aptitude for quickly picking up new skills and an ability to swiftly wrap her mind around new concepts. Harper is adept at grasping new concepts and, even moreso, learning how to swiftly apply them in practical settings, making her fairly adaptive -- at least as far as learning new skills go.

Resources

BAT FAMILY (KIND OF)
One of the more recent additions, Harper is something of a fledgling addition to the Bat Family and currently lives somewhat on its fringes. Despite this, it provides her a number of benefits like anyone else, not the least of which being the network of allies she has to rely on -- and that can rely on her, in turn.
COSTUME
As the Bluebird, Harper has her own, fancy costume courtesy of the Bat Family. The costume is lightweight yet largely bullet proof (aside from things like heavy artillery) and somewhat resistant to fire, cold, and other various forms of physical damage, while remaining light enough to provide good range of mobility. And look stylish, to boot!
GADGETS
Harper has a wealth of gadgets. Some of these are provided by her association with Gotham's vigilantes; many more she's come up with by hand. Various grenades, batarangs, and grappling hooks are usually amongst the staples, though they vary by situation. Her main assets are her various firearms she's put together herself; nonlethal, these firearms, from rifles to hand guns, discharge electrical current instead of bullets, making them something more like suped up tasers than conventional firearms. The variety and purposes of these can also vary, but Harper is never really found without them. She loves her precious gunses.

Weaknesses

FATHER
Harper's father, Marcus Row, is a career criminal and all around scum; his abusive and neglectful attitude towards his children is what prompted Harper's application for emancipation, but the man is nothing if not relentless. Though he's currently enjoying a stay at Blackgate, he is still very much a presence and problem in Harper's life, and her hatred for him runs particularly deep.
INEXPERIENCED
It took a lot of bullheaded willfulness and not accepting 'no,' 'seriously no,' and 'for the love of God stop bothering me already' for an answer, but Harper finally got what she wanted: becoming a vigilante of Gotham under the banner of the Bat. However, this happened, like, a month or two ago at best. Harper has very little real world experience at what it takes to be a vigilante and deal with the particularly deranged brand of rogues in Gotham and even beyond. She has a lot of training to accomplish still, and while she means well and works hard, her general inexperience can often be to her detriment when dealing with the veterans of the Gotham criminal world.
RECKLESS
Harper Row has a lot of things to prove, in her mind. That she can be a good hero, that she can fix literally any problem she comes across, that she won't be a burden, that she can do all these things and more on her own. It makes her impulsive and eager to jump on the first opportunities she sees in order to establish herself, even against the wisdom of others or all common sense. This hotheadedness can come back to bite her in the ass, to put it plainly -- and more often than not, put her in a lot more trouble than she bargained for.
SECRET IDENTITY
Harper Row is the newfound vigilante known as Bluebird. She is also very new to this whole superhero business. Her identity is a secret, and considering how fresh she is at this and her deep ties to her brother Cullen, it would be disastrous for her to be discovered by anyone who wasn't trusted -- and all the harder for her to hide herself, considering just how much she has yet to learn about all this.

However, this happened, like, a month or two ago at best. Harper has very little real world experience at what it takes to be a vigilante and deal with the particularly deranged brand of rogues in Gotham and even beyond. She has a lot of training to accomplish still, and while she means well and works hard, her general inexperience can often be to her detriment when dealing with the veterans of the Gotham criminal world.
RECKLESS
Harper Row has a lot of things to prove, in her mind. That she can be a good hero, that she can fix literally any problem she comes across, that she won't be a burden, that she can do all these things and more on her own. It makes her impulsive and eager to jump on the first opportunities she sees in order to establish herself, even against the wisdom of others or all common sense. This hotheadedness can come back to bite her in the ass, to put it plainly -- and more often than not, put her in a lot more trouble than she bargained for.
SECRET IDENTITY
Harper Row is the newfound vigilante known as Bluebird. She is also very new to this whole superhero business. Her identity is a secret, and considering how fresh she is at this and her deep ties to her brother Cullen, it would be disastrous for her to be discovered by anyone who wasn't trusted -- and all the harder for her to hide herself, considering just how much she has yet to learn about all this.
