Biography
Original multiverse
Early life
Margot was born in Gotham City and rised in condition of great poverty, developing an obsession for shiny things and maturing the belief that it has to be done everything possible in order to survive. Thus she started a crime career as an art thief, also operating as a photographer in order to case the places she wanted to steal from.[1]
Operating as Magpie
At some point, she took up the name "Magpie" and build her own "nest", a secret base of operations completed with sensors that, if activated, would blew up the room to kill anyone who tresspasses.[1]
In the fall of 2019, after multiple robberies, Margot was almost caught by a guard and she used explosives that severely injured him in order to escape, catching the media's attention in the process.[1]
Stealing Martha Wayne's necklace
Margot as a photographer.
When Kate Kane authorized Margot to put Martha Wayne's necklace on display to represent strong women in Gotham at the Museum of Antiquities, she took pictures of the necklace until Roxanna said that they had enough.
Magpie talks to Batwoman.
That night, as Magpie, she tried to steal jewels in a museum but Batwoman showed up. During the fight she tried to persuade Batwoman to join her but she refused. After a brief fight, she escaped via the window.
Magpie is arrested.
Later, still as Magpie, she broke into Wayne Tower and stole Martha Wayne's necklace after knocking out Luke Fox. She printed out a 3D model of the necklace rigged with explosives and put it on display to distract Batwoman, so she could steal various jewels in the museum. However, she was foiled by Batwoman and incarcerated at Blackgate Penitentiary.[1]
