Super Powers:
Superspeed: Has the ability to move and react at superhuman speeds, though cannot process information as quickly. She can also not heal at superhuman speeds.She can vibrate her molecules swiftly enough to be able to walk through walls or allow objects to pass through her, she can run across bodies of water, and can create after-images of herself. She can lend her speed to other objects, causing explosions. She has several little abilities that go with her superspeed.
She is not as fast as the Flash, but pretty close.
Power Bestowal and Absorption: She has the ability to bestow her powers to others that are near her. She also has the ability to absorb others powers. She usually is only able to absorb one or two powers at a time, and they will be weaker than the original, but it really depends on her mood and emotions. The angrier she becomes, the more powerful..She cannot absorb magical powers, telepathic abilities or learned abilities. She still struggles to control this ability, but is becoming good at it.
Self propelled flight: Pretty self explanatory.
Learned Abilities: A skilled martial artist and a pretty good marksman.
Equipment: Though Trenton has a utility belt, she rarely has much equipment with her.
Weaknesses (Must Have): Struggles to control powers, weak minded and can be shot, stabbed and killed. Her quick metabolism also requires that she sustain a large amount of food daily, which can be a down-side depending on the situation.She is also sensitive and sometimes blows things out of proportion, she has a bit of a temper.
Background:
She is shy and quite at first glance. It will take her a while to warm up to someone, but once she does her true personality will shine through. She is a thoughtful and bright young woman. She has a bold competitive streak and loves to challenge others with super-abilities to races, fights and more. She loves to play video and board games, as well as an occasional sport. She likes to read and dislikes math. She loves animals and becomes incredibly angry at even the thought of animal cruelty. At times she distances herself from others, which can seem cold, but she has her reasons. She is young and has not been exposed to many things, so she approaches many aspects with a sort of wide-eyed curiosity. While she does enjoy the occasional puzzle, or riddle...she often rushes into situations without much consideration. She has a gentle and playful air about her when she's in a good mood. She has a morose disposition when she is down.She doesn't make friends as easily as she would like to, and even when she does she doesn't stay very close to them. She likes to be left alone most of the time. She drinks sometimes, and smokes often.
Personality :Sophia was born into a very wealthy family in Gotham City. Her mother was an heiress, and her father a research scientist.
She was born with her powers, much to her parents disbelief. They would eventually contribute her abilities to the fact that there had been a few mutants in their family history. Her parents did not give much thought to this, and only warned her to be careful. She lived a fairly normal life, excelling in school and athletics. Being a teenager, she was often careless with displays of her powers. She occasionally showed of to her friends, or used her powers to advantage herself somehow.She was a happy student until the day her mother was killed in a robbery gone wrong.
She fell into a deep depression, as did her father. She used her powers more carelessly than ever. At the age of 16, she was kidnapped, along with six other teenagers. They would all be taken to an unknown facility and have their memories erased and replaced with false recollection of having always been at the facility.
Each would be tattooed with a small symbol on their wrist. Sophia received a small, black bat-symbol. This was to remind her of her mission, to kill Batman. Her peers had similar inkings including, an "S" symbol, a lightening bolt, a "W" symbol, a red "X", a small silhouette of a hawk, and a green lantern symbol. These super-powered teens had been harvested, and each assigned a Justice League leader to terminate.
They were trained ruthlessly and sometimes cruelly. They would not be allowed to leave the facility. The teens were allowed to socialize with one another, and were afforded some luxuries the longer their stay lasted. They were schooled there, by apparant staff members, and each allowed to read whichever books they wished.
Sophia would not fully realize how wrong things were until a certain turning point. Each member had been given a puppy to grow and train with. After years with their pets, they were finally ordered to kill their dog companions, to prove their loyalty and ferocity. Sophia, as well as another teen, could not bring herself to do it. She was thrown into isolation and was routinely brutalized. She thought of escape often, but never acted upon it. Her naive loyalty prevented this.This lasted for nearly two weeks, until one strange day. In her thick metal prison, she could hear the echoes of explosions and screams. The walls reverberated for hours, and she lay still in her cell, trying to keep a low radar should this disturbance be something that would threaten her life.
After the noises and tremors ended, Sophia would pry the doors to her prison open. She ventured cautiously through the facility, or the remains of it. There was not a single person left, and she assumed them to have either been killed or to have fled. During her search, she would find both her beloved dog, Jack, and a file containing her information. She did not know what caused the chaos of that day, or who had imprisoned her and attempted to turn her into a killer. A thorough search of the vicinity turned up no real valuable information. To a certain extent, she didn't care, she was thankful to learn the truth and be able to get away. She vowed to eventually uncover the truth, but was determined to find her father first.She would soon learn that her father had disappeared after her abduction. Tracking him down proved practically impossible.
She had only recently started to live a normal life, and is finding it all a bit over-whelming. She was able to secure a job at a doughnut shop and find a very-low rent apartment, meager though it is. She finds it difficult to afford the amount of food she needs, and so (much to her own disapproval) she does often steal. She often dons her costume, and fights violent criminals.
She is full of questions, and at times desperate for revenge. She sometimes looks at the bat symbol on her wrist and wonders if she'll ever encounter the man she was trained to kill.

Brief Sample Roleplay
Trenton sat in the dark and peeled away the top layers of her nail. There was a heaviness in her chest, caused by the dampness in the air. Her breaths were short jolts of oxygen.
"I hate stakeouts", she admitted as she turned to the woman that peered down at the scene below.
"Seriously", she added as she peered down herself. She was never one to do well with stealthiness, as she could rarely keep her mouth shut..especially when she was with someone she knew well.
After what felt like hours, it was time. The puzzle pieces had just clicked together. The communicator that was cradled in her ear canal hissed on. "Now", the voice urged.
"Go time", she said with a satisfied smirk as she rose to her feet and peered through the darkness.
