1. Her parents are divorced, and her mother's not in the best of ways. There's also some friction between them due to how nasty the divorce got, and the toll it took on her father. 2. She's determined to one day change her super hero code name to "Batwoman". 3. She's a little self conscious about her height. Like a lot of gymnasts, she's short despite the fact she's older. This is part of the reason having Robin around is cool with her... she can call someone else "shrimp". 4. There is a little resentment, still, about the fact Batman hasn't revealed his secret identity to her. Despite that, she still really admires him, almost like a second father at times. 5. She was sorely tempted to become Catwoman's partner at one point, and there are still aspects of that life that appeal to her. 6. While she's fairly confident as Batgirl, she's a lot quieter without the mask. She's not tremendously shy, but she certainly enjoys the freedom that wearing a mask gives her. 7. One of Barbara's greatest hopes is to find a cure for Poison Ivy's current condition. She partially blames herself for not stopping Pam sooner. It's just as much a motivator for her new identity as her father's abduction was. 8. She's hard pressed to define her friendship with Pam, and it's one thing she rarely talks about. 9. Barbara isn't very popular in school. Her interests fluctuate too much, she tends to hang out with "outcasts", and not a lot of kids want to hang out with the commissioner's kid, since chances are good they'll get busted. 10. She's a closet nerd, who knows more than she'd care to admit about computers, and saw McG's Gobots movie thirteen times in theaters. (And yes, Gobots won the war in her universe.)
