SECTION ONE OF THREE: BULLET POINT HISTORY trigger warnings for talk of death throughout, funerals, miscarriage, infant death & postpartum depression

sienna loren thompkins was born in pretoria, south africa, twenty seven ( soon to be twenty eight ) years ago to dr leslie maurin thompkins, a ( at the time ) disgraced nurse, and alfred pennyworth - much beloved butler and valet to bruce wayne.

for much of her early life, sienna wasn't aware of who her father was, due to the way in which her mother's most recent fling with him had ended - when she fled from gotham to africa following stephanie brown's supposed death, which she had orchestrated. sia was raised solely by her mother in a village a few hundred miles west of the city, the two sometimes traveling abroad together when required by lee's job, but never spending too much time away ( and never spending any at all, in america ).

she was thirteen years old, when lee received word that she could finally return to gotham city. the news came from alfred, who traveled all the way to the village just to let her know - and imagine his surprise, when little sienna thompkins was who welcomed him first. lee had never told him about her. it wasn't out of spite, or anything negative - alfred's whole life had been dedicated to bruce, and his focus was one track minded, and lee had never wanted to talk away from that by telling him he had a child growing up half the world away. she didn't try to lie - she didn't say sia was someone elses, or that she wasn't even hers. she told him, that evening, and told sia too - and a week later, all three of them boarded a plane back to gotham city. lee began the process of finding herself an apartment in her hometown and a small building out of which she could operate a medical practice, to boot. sienna was entrusted to her father. it was equal parts wanting sia to have somewhere to live while things were up in the air for lee, and wanting her to finally get to know alfred pennyworth.

they had gotten along incredibly well, for the week they had known each other in africa. sienna had showed him all her photographs and accomplishments, and he had told her as much as he felt appropriate for a thirteen year old to know about his life. but speaking with one another and learning each others personalities and habits and things was entirely different to being thrown in the deep end and living with one another - and it didn't really help that the wayne family was quite as large. sienna would barely speak a word to anyone who wasn't alfred. she was as intimidated by them all simply as people, as she was scared that they would think her strange or foreign, and be far from welcoming, as he'd promised.

months went by, and sia remained ever fearful of the people she was now surrounded by - and when her mother finally opened up her new practice, she thought that meant she could return to her comfort zone and go back to living with her full time. ALAS, lee was more swamped in gotham city than she had ever been in africa. gotham was huge and troubled. nothing like she, or sia for that matter, had grown accustomed to. she worked sixteen hour days, only catching some sleep above the practice before returning once again - and she wished it could have been different, sia could tell as much from her expression when she sat her down to break the news, but she NEEDED to keep doing good. she couldn't cut her work in half. gotham needed her. sia did, too, but she had alfred now - and lee thought it would be incredibly good for her to continue living with him, and continue down the road of accepting him as her father.

now, things were different. sia had remained at a distance to those around her because in a way, she had imagined that she would someday soon get to go HOME. now, wayne manner was her home - and things weren't going to change any time soon, so she knew she had to get used to it. she opened up. she HAD to - and boy, is she both happy and sad that she did.

at fifteen, following a rollarcoaster of a few years, sienna became batgirl alongside fabian todd's robin. it was a PRETTY BIG thing - and it drove a VERY big wedge between her and her mother, though their relationship had started suffering right around the time that lee had taken sia back to gotham. alfred was difficult to get around, but sia, born and raised to take care of people, made a very convincing ( if not just downright impossible to dissuade ) argument - he accepted it because he didn't have much of a choice in the matter. lee, on the other hand, forever against bruce's inclincation to put kids on the street in masks, HATED the idea of her only daughter joining the roster. their contact ended the day sienna told her, but she didn't stop being batgirl. in fact - even now - being batgirl was the only thing that sia ever really felt that she had done RIGHT.

fabian was, at this point, the BEST friend that sia had. working alongside them to clean up gotham felt good, it felt right, and she would be lying if she said that the adrenaline rush wasn't ANOTHER huge appeal. coming from a background of doing good wherever she could, helping to do good in gotham came naturally - though she was, as a teen who was only now coming into herself confidence wise, a little reckless. they were without a doubt the HAPPIEST days of her life - and certainly the ones where she felt as if she was doing the most good.

and then, fabian died. it was sudden, and it was the first of a series of heartbreaks that sia would face. she had never LOST anyone before - at least, not someone who she cared for - and the day they died, she really did lose a small part of herself that even after their return, never came back. sia couldn't face the funeral. she couldn't carry on as batgirl, either - not without her robin. it was a sad, sad situation, and it's never fully been remedied.

sia threw herself into her studies as way of dealing with giving up the batgirl mantle, and that, as they say, was that. it's maybe the perfect time to say that gotham academy - the school alfred had enrolled her in and the school she hadn't much cared for, until then - was never anything more than a distraction for her, but still, she graduated, and she did it with a weighted 4.9 gpa. she was smart. he wasn't ever behind, despite being a vigilante for a lot of her time there and despite missing out on a great many years of formal and conventional education. she took everything that was ever thrown at her in her stride, and she managed to do it making friends along the way, too. she graduated, moved out of wayne manor, and got three jobs right off the bat in downtown gotham - selling books in a local bookstore for half the week, waitressing in a local diner every evening, and serving drinks in a hip nightclub every weekend night. she was saving her money. she was getting somewhere, on her own. and she was working on getting to HAPPY - something that had, for a time, seemed beyond her.

she was in love, too. quin was her first SERIOUS love, before she ever even knew about it. they had met at gotham academy, but it wasn't until after the relationship he had been embroiled in had come to an end that they got involved on and off, continuing that way for a while until she got pregnant. of course, she was scared - UNBELIEVABLY SO - but she wanted the baby ( it wouldn't be inaccurate to say she wanted something to dedicate her life to, again ), and she would have given it the most amazing of lives if she hadn't miscarried. that was the second of her major heartbreaks. sia was DEVASTATED, and without quin...- god, she wouldn't have survived. but they got through it, they got more serious, they put an official label on themselves, and the tragedy of their loss brought them together.

and it also brought her back to her mother. in the days following her miscarriage, before she and quin had really become each others crutch, she visited her mother and began confiding in her once again. it was difficult. it would always be. but they were back in contact, and they kept in touch - even if they both found it difficult to be in the same room as one another.

she followed quin to paragon, choosing to apply and work on a law degree. she said it was what she wanted, and in a way, it was - but being a lawyer would never match being batgirl. she was always unsatisfied. it wasn't until she'd achieved her bachelors and realized that she could go on and become a COP that sia felt like she was getting a little bit closer to the dream she had once lived.

and then, she fell pregnant again. this time, they didn't tell anyone until they were out of the danger zone. she didn't get attached until she saw the three little heartbeats on the monitor at the hospital three weeks in a row. she didn't call them anything other than beans one two and three until she was five months in. but once she'd opened her heart to them, trusted they they would survive... sia loved the babies more than she had ever loved anything, before. i said that quin was her first serious love - but they were her second, most important, and YES - finally, she had reached happy. she had her fiance. she had three strong babies on the way. she was going to take a break and then return to work on being a cop, someday, and she was going to do GOOD in the world in the kind of way that sh wished that she could again -

then the attack happened. quin died. he died saving her, and their unborn babies, and it was all for nought in the end anyway because she was INJURED, badly - at the hospital her nearest and dearest were informed that she would require an emergency c-section if the babies were to survive. lillian and quinten james lived, brought into the world hours after quin had exited it - but complications had arose, and injuries she had sustained had not only left sia in a touch and go position, but had resulted in them losing IRIS. in under a few hours she had lost the love of her life and one of their babies. these were the heartbreaks that sia didn't think she would survive.

a part of her wished that she had parted from this world, instead of living through the trauma. sienna required a massive blood transfusion following her surgeries, and alfred himself was the donor - but when she awoke, she wished he hadn't been so quick to volunteer. she survived. two of their babies survived. but she had lost quin, and lost their daughter, and she lost herself, too.

she was already a non-presence in the twins life when quin came back to life. they called it postpartum depression - she couldn't stand being too involved with them, wasn't connecting with them, on any sort of level. she had pushed everyone including her babies away, leaving them to be raised by everyone around her while her mother tried to break through the fog that had come down over her - and then quin came back.

and she was scared.

over the short time that quin had been gone, she had made some truly questionable decisions. she had hurt people who she felt had hurt him. she had abandoned their kids when they needed her most. she had been far from a stand up mother and far from a pillar of strength, consumed by her own aching sadness and need for petty revenge - and now he was back, but he was different, and he wasn't HER QUIN, and he was alive but he had still been MURDERED, and -

it was a lot. too much. she didn't know how to react to him, and she didn't feel as if she had ever been present in their lives to affect the twins if she left, and... though she was ashamed to say, she RAN.. it was far from her proudest moment.

and now she's back. slightly better adjusted, still seeking revenge for... she doesn't even know what, anymore. she's trying to realign who she was with who she's become, and distance has certainly given her perspective. the only people who matter to her ( REALLY matter ) are lillian and quinten james. they're HER WORLD. she wants to do right by them - and she intends to, too.

SECTION TWO OF THREE: FACTS

she’s been living her for fourteen years, almost, but sia STILL has a fairly strong south african accent. she was born and spent all her formative years there, so it makes sense.

sia’s good at heart. she always was. she has a good heart, and when it’s working right, a strong moral compass. she’s always wanted to save the world and the people in it ( call her lee’s daughter ), and all she’s ever done has been to meet those goals - but she has this rage within her that doesn’t lineup with who she’s always been, and that scares her - the need for revenge, even though quin’s alive again, consumes her, and sometimes she wonders if she really should have come back at all. the time she’s spent away has been spent at the sides of people who can help her be who she used to be, training, learning, watching - trying to relearn control she once had, though its hard to tell if she really has any, anymore.

sia has dropped the dream of being a cop. she doesn’t know whether that classic idea of justice that she always believed in before is what she believes in now - and while she’s pursuing the biblical sort of justice, she doesn’t think it’s ok to continue trying to be a law enforcement official. she does love the idea of private investigating, though, and feels it would allow her to be closer to who she was once as batgirl while also following her heart, now, and... who knows! it’s something she rly wants, anyway

SECTION THREE OF THREE: WANTED CONNECTIONS

FRIENDS !!! sia’s always been friendly, and i want her to have some friends that she maybe made at gotham academy, or also maybe made at paragon. i’m also open to ones she made while she was still traveling with her mom, because i feel as if she would have run into a lot of different people while she was.

EXES LMAO !! quin was her first serious love but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t had people before him, who put her on the path to actual love. good exes, bad exes… who cares i just lov an ex!!

ROOMMATE !! i don’t think that sia could realistically afford a place to live on her own, even working the two/threeish jobs she’s working - i’d lov for her to have someone she lives with, so hmu for that roommate connect zoe lawton !!

this isnt my best idea but could someone out there pls just . give her a pep talk abt being a mom. she loves her kids and would straight up die for them but there’s no way in hell she considers herself a good mother, or even the kind of mother they should have in their lives right now

SECTION ONE OF THREE: BULLET POINT HISTORY trigger warnings for talk of death throughout, funerals, miscarriage, infant death & postpartum depression

sienna loren thompkins was born in pretoria, south africa, twenty eight years ago to dr leslie maurin thompkins, a ( at the time ) disgraced nurse, and alfred pennyworth - much beloved butler and valet to bruce wayne. she was the first of two children that would grow up without any knowledge of their father, with a brother, dante carmel thompkins coming along two years later.

she was conceived on accident, by chance, at the end of her mother’s most recent fling with alfred - when she fled from gotham to africa following stephanie brown’s supposed death, which she had orchestrated. her brother was conceived in a hotel room in the city when alfred came to visit, his anger fading by the month. they were raised together solely by their mother in a village a few hundred miles west of the city, the three of them sometimes traveling abroad together when it called for it, but never spending too much time away - and never spending any time AT ALL, in america.

her earliest memories are of helping people. lee did the best that she could with what she had, working from a tiny and outdated medical practice, helping the many who came from their village and beyond - and while little sia was forever at her side, little dante was forever at sia’s. spending her free time in the practice with her mom and being homeschooled for the entire first decade of her life, sia learned from the very best - and she saw her life as a sort of blessing. she didn’t dwell on the things she didn’t have, like money or status or a father. she, like lee, made the most of what she DID have, and she came to view her mother as a sort of hero. after all - not many people were so willing to help the misfortunate. she and her brother were INSEPARABLE, back then. they were surrounded by other children, but there was a bond between siblings that proved stronger than all else, and while they had their issues, the typical sibling to and fro, sia was dante’s most loyal protector, and dante was her closest confidant. while sometimes their mother’s attention would wander, they knew that they would always have each other.

she was thirteen years old and dante eleven, when lee received word that she could finally return to gotham city. the news came from alfred himself, who traveled all the way to the village just to let her know - and imagine his surprise, when little sienna thompkins was who welcomed him first. lee had never told him about her - nor dante. it wasn’t out of spite, or anything negative - alfred’s whole life had been dedicated to bruce, and his focus was one track minded, and lee had never wanted to talk away from that by telling him he had children growing up half the world away. she didn’t try to lie - she didn’t say sia and dante were anyone elses, or that they weren’t even hers. she told him, that evening, and told sia and dante too - and a week later, all four of them boarded a plane back to gotham city. lee began the process of finding herself an apartment in her hometown and a small building out of which she could operate a medical practice, to boot. sienna and dante were entrusted to her father. it was equal parts wanting them to have somewhere to live while things were up in the air for lee, and wanting them to finally get to know alfred pennyworth.

they had gotten along incredibly well, for the week they had known each other in africa. sienna had showed him all her photographs and accomplishments, and he had told her as much as he felt appropriate for a thirteen year old to know about his life. dante had insisted he play football with him, and alfred had insisted on telling him stories he said were for boys ears, only. but speaking with one another and learning each others personalities and habits and things was entirely different to being thrown in the deep end and living with one another - and it didn’t really help that the wayne family was quite as large. sienna would barely speak a word to anyone who wasn’t her brother or alfred. she was as intimidated by them all simply as people, as she was scared that they would think her strange or foreign, and be far from welcoming, as he’d promised.

months went by, and sia remained ever fearful of the people she was now surrounded by - and when her mother finally opened up her new practice, she thought that meant she could return to her comfort zone and go back to living with her full time. ALAS, lee was more swamped in gotham city than she had ever been in africa. gotham was huge and troubled. nothing like she, or the kids for that matter, had grown accustomed to. she worked sixteen hour days, only catching some sleep above the practice before returning once again - and she wished it could have been different, sia could tell as much from her expression when she sat her down to break the news, but she NEEDED to keep doing good. she couldn’t cut her work in half. gotham needed her. sia did, too, but she had alfred now - and lee thought it would be incredibly good for her to continue living with him, and continue down the road of accepting him as her father.

fabian was, at this point, the BEST friend that sia had - and in a way, the person who she put in place of dante. working alongside them to clean up gotham felt good, it felt right, and she would be lying if she said that the adrenaline rush wasn’t ANOTHER huge appeal. coming from a background of doing good wherever she could, helping to do good in gotham came naturally - though she was, as a teen who was only now coming into herself confidence wise, a little reckless. they were without a doubt the HAPPIEST days of her life, even WITH the cracks that began to form at home - and certainly the ones where she felt as if she was doing the most good.

and then, fabian died. it was sudden, and it was the first of a series of heartbreaks that sia would face. she had never LOST anyone before - at least, not someone who she cared for - and the day they died, she really did lose a small part of herself that even after their return, never came back. sia couldn’t face the funeral. she couldn’t carry on as batgirl, either - not without her robin. it was a sad, sad situation, and it’s never fully been remedied.

it was also around then that she lost contact with her brother, once and for all. they had only ever seemed to grow MORE distant - and dante had taken a path that sia had not, while attending gotham academy. she regained one family member only to lose the other, and it would soon prove to be yet another cause for heartbreak.

she followed quin to paragon, choosing to apply and work on a law degree. she said it was what she wanted, and in a way, it was - but being a lawyer would never match being batgirl. she was always unsatisfied. it wasn’t until she’d achieved her bachelors and realized that she could go on and become a COP that sia felt like she was getting a little bit closer to the dream she had once lived.

and then her brother DIED - her brother, dante, was murdered. murdered by a FRIEND. filmed and put online. sia was not in gotham, at the time, but when the call came through in the earliest hours of the morning, she rushed to the hospital. she’d never thought she would LOSE him. even if they were fractured, she had always thought they would realign, someday.

it broke her, all over again. losing her little brother - the boy she SHOULD have been there for, that in a way, she felt she could have protected. perhaps she couldn’t have done anything at all, but sia begged to disagree, and she was never quite the same again. a week after the funeral, she returned to paragon. she didn’t speak of what had happened, and nobody pushed. it just wasn’t their place, and it never seemed the time.

and then, she fell pregnant again. this time, they didn’t tell anyone until they were out of the danger zone. she didn’t get attached until she saw the three little heartbeats on the monitor at the hospital three weeks in a row. she didn’t call them anything other than beans one two and three until she was five months in. but once she’d opened her heart to them, trusted they they would survive… sia loved the babies more than she had ever loved anything, before, and they gave her something that at that point in life, she NEEDED. i said that quin was her first serious love - but they were her second, most important, and YES - finally, she had reached a version of happiness, once more. she had her fiance. she had three strong babies on the way. she was going to take a break and then return to work on being a cop, someday, and she was going to do GOOD in the world in the kind of way that sh wished that she could again -

SECTION TWO OF THREE: FACTS

dante carmel thompkins was not the golden boy, but he was sia’s LITTLE BROTHER - and his loss will never not weigh her shoulders down. when they were children, they were as thick as thieves. anywhere that sia went, he followed, clinging to her sleeve, and anywhere that dante went, sia followed, eagle eyes keeping an eye on him - first because lee urged her to, and then because it had become second nature. when they moved into wayne manor, they were all each other had aside from alfred, and for those first few months, their bond had never been STRONGER. but in the aftermath of them, when lee told them they would be permanently staying where they were...sia adjusted, and DANTE did not. he never felt at home, there, not the way she learnt to. he adored the people, don’t get me wrong - but he hated the vastness of the home they now shared with them all, and hated the change. the fractures began then and were chalked down to teenage hormones, but when they were both enrolled into gotham academy... it became obvious that it was FAR more. one went one way, the other went another. sia was a golden girl. she was BATGIRL ( and then ex ). she was head cheerleader. she was INTELLIGENT and beautiful, and she never struggled to find a group of friends. dante was the opposite. for a time, he seemed to be alone - and no matter how much she urged him to join her, or sit with her, he WOULDN’T. he thought it would be weird. he didn’t want to be laughed at. and somewhere along the way, he found where he BELONGED without his older sister’s help. to fit in he had started to become a staple part of the party scene - and then he met winona falcone, the rest becoming history. alfred and lee were not pleased by his choice in friend, and sia did not think she could judge, considering that around the same time he met winnie, she had started to date quinten isley quinzel. but regardless of anyone elses opinion, dante CARED for winnie. he enjoyed her company, and he was loyal to the last. they were best friends, for better, for worse. closest confidants. easy supporters. his partying became more HARDCORE, but at least he had winnie to share it with - especially since, as he descended, he lost more and more of the people he had called friends and family. he barely thought about sia, after a certain point, coming to think of winnie as a sort of sister - and it was unfortunate... no, downright TRAGIC, what happened to him. he was drunk, perhaps high, and certainly not thinking about what he was saying. no one could have known it was going to end up the way it did. not him. not WINNIE. certainly not sia, who never thought that she would outlive her younger brother - and worse never once believed she would lose him before the opportunity came knocking to solve their vast issues.

she’s been living her for fourteen years, almost, but sia STILL has a fairly strong south african accent. she was born and spent all her formative years there, so it makes sense.

sia has dropped the dream of being a cop. she doesn’t know whether that classic idea of justice that she always believed in before is what she believes in now - and while she’s pursuing the biblical sort of justice, she doesn’t think it’s ok to continue trying to be a law enforcement official. she does love the idea of private investigating, though, and feels it would allow her to be closer to who she was once as batgirl while also following her heart, now, and… who knows! it’s something she rly wants, anyway

SECTION THREE OF THREE: WANTED CONNECTIONS

EXES LMAO !! quin was her first serious love but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t had people before him, who put her on the path to actual love. good exes, bad exes… who cares i just lov an ex!!
