Known Background: Due to the Guardian legacy, very little is actually known about Shrike, if she actually exists (though, by and large, people believe in her existence before they believe in Guardian). Speech analysts believe that she may have grown up in the mid-northern United States, quite probably the Detroit, Michigan area. Psychologists believe that she may have come from a broken and perhaps abusive home, which may have led to her relocation to California. Rumors among the underbelly of society say that she was wandering the streets when she encountered a crime in progress, taking it upon herself to get involved. Guardian was on the scene and was impressed enough with her actions to take her in and train her as a protégé. Why not call her a sidekick? Because getting her staff removed from your rectum is just as painful as her putting it there. Lucky was a sidekick, and she ain't no Lucky.
Personality: Where Guardian is cold and aloof, Shrike is warm, friendly and outgoing. She is playful in her crime fighting, often engaging in witty banter with friend and foe alike. Shrike's playfulness and flirtations add to an almost child-like veneer, leading people to think she's younger than she is; a trait she enjoys and takes full advantage of. She is not above letting people think she's underage and making members of the opposite sex believe they are either dirty old men (which is true) or that she's a lesbian (which is not). These traits tend to have her the more well-liked of the duo and makes for a stark contrast to the somber Guardian. In reality, she is more like her mentor than most people realize, using the bubbly personality to cover a very angry psyche underneath; an outlook that Guardian continues to counsel her to overcome.

Powers/Tactics: Shrike appears to have no super human powers; however, she is in peak physical condition with a touch extra in certain areas. She has the strength, agility, and reflexes of a medal winning Olympic athlete and comes by it easier and more naturally than one would expect. Guardian has taken her natural talent for fighting and enhanced it with training in numerous fighting disciplines. She carries a large array of non-lethal weaponry, and has access to more, but tends to prefer her battle staff most. If she needs a particular weapon, either she or Guardian can get it in short order. She has access to Guardian's large motor pool, but has a motorcycle that she calls her own. Her greatest weapons are her keen analytical mind, indomitable will, and her ability to throw others off their game through her personality. She prefers to surprise opponents and then exploit any or all weaknesses she has found. And she never gives up. |

Appearance: Shrike is a 5'3", 115 lb. blonde. The fact that she is smaller than Guardian aides in the illusion that she is younger than her actual age would allow. In order to differentiate herself from her mentor's predecessor's sidekick, she wears a blue (rather than crimson) uniform with black mask, cape and boots. She leaves her hair uncovered as a statement of individuality, distinguishing herself as someone different from Guardian. Her gloves and belt are mustard colored. There is an air of playfulness surrounding her.
Shrike was created, designed, and is played by Jim Caswell.
