style;; Does ‘she has no time for style’ count as a description? Most of the time Renee is either dressed in her work uniform, or asleep in the first pair of boxer shorts she grabs from her drawer. The only time she has anything close to a personal style is when she’s forced to go to ceremonies or blend into a crowd for surveillance; and even then it’s best described as common causal. Jeans and some form not descript shirt. The only time she ever dressed up, or bothers to care what she’s put on is when Kate invites her places. In which case, she has to at least attempt to hide who she is.
In which case she as a surprisingly elegant style, long black lush hair frames a pretty face, and a smile that is rare otherwise tends to light up a room. She actually does own several dresses, and high heels; and despite her humble roots she manages to fool most people into believing she is just another of Gotham’s elite.

overall personality;; Renee is first and foremost the job. Being a cop comes first to her, everything else comes after that. (Kate’s secret identity is perhaps the only thing that’s ever come before her work) The job defines her in so many ways, some days it is impossible to separate being a cop from being Renee. The bigger part of her likes it this way. It’s a safety net for having to deal with all the guilt of being disowned by her parents, and everything that’s happened it her life. Work is the only reason she’s not crazy—and if people knew just how deep her devotion to work was, she might be sitting in Arkam herself.
Much as she tries to hide her feelings about her parents, they tend to creep out. Renee tends to be more aggressive then she truly needs to be, and snaps at anybody that questions her sexuality. Any fight can become her personal battle at a moment’s notice and she doesn’t let go of grudges ever. She does make efforts to behave herself when she’s dealing with people outside of her work, but she always has to watch her temper at all times. She’s deathly afraid of losing Kate over something stupid, and can come across as unwilling to commit—although the opposite is true.

history;; Renee grew up born and bred in Gotham city. Her parents had moved there just after getting married from Columbian her father to avoid growing political tensions. They moved to Gotham city amidst the forming of the city, and her father helped found some of the strongest Catholic roots in the city. She grew up with a strong sense of morality in the home which ultimately lead to her decision to become a cop.
Once she became a cop she trained under Gordon, becoming one of his ‘favored’ cops and ended up Bullock’s partner. The corruption around her and her determination to avoid it tended to polarize her, against many of the other people. So did her dislike of the vigilante Batman in a time when he was intensely popular with the other cops. She was fighting crime within the law, the fair way; and having less success then a man in a mask.
It was about that time she officially started dating her first girlfriend. Since about eighteen she’d known she was a lesbian, but it took years afterwards to fully accept that fact. Then it took even more years and Two-Face outing her to parents for her to admit it openly. However, it didn’t really get any easier. Besides a rough break up with her girlfriend over being a workaholic, and being disowned by her parents (written out of the will, more than the whole nine-yards) she fell in love with somebody all together more dangerous, and interesting.
So began the love affair with Kate. It wasn’t intentional at first, just an accidental meeting between the cop and the hero. Only, perhaps the hero had all together different motives in letting the cop play cat and mouse across rooftops before kissing her and running away again. Either way, it became an almost nightly ‘game’ before Kate finally admitted who she was, and what she was. They certainly made a curious couple, but nobody was ever supposed to know.
