"You put a lot of lives in danger tonight."
"Well some people don't have the privilege of sitting in our tower, having angst about what to do with our lives, Miss Kane. They just do it to survive."
Magpie on her defeat by Kate Kane.[src]


Margaret, nicknamed "Margot", is an extremely intelligent and deft thief who, as Magpie, is drawn to shiny things and thus has a penchant for pickpocketing the rich. She was inevitably foiled by Batwoman and incarcerated at Blackgate Penitentiary.[1]

Biography

Operating as Magpie

Margaret had a career as a photographer she used as a cover in order to case the places she wanted to steal from. At some point, she took up the name "Magpie" when doing this. After multiple robberies, Margaret 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

When Kate Kane authorized Margaret 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. That night, as Magpie, she tried to steal jewels in a museum but Batwoman showed up. After a brief fight, she escaped via the window. 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]
