Reverse Robins au! RedHood Steph lore-
she started as a young vigilante (around 11-12 years old) who pops up soon after Damian leaves, wanting to stop her father. she accidentally catches B’s attention, stealing some sort of useful supplies from him. they start a hesitant partnership, one neither of them is necessarily happy about at first - Bruce still wanting Damian, Stephanie reluctantly to accept help. but that bond grows, until they’re comfortable with each other.
Damian starts out as angry, but becomes more accepting of Bruce getting a new sidekick after meeting Steph. and then, maybe a year or two into this partnership (around 13-14 for Steph’s age) - Stephanie is fostered by Bruce because her dad is in jail and her mom isn’t fit to have custody of her due to drug struggles.
Stephanie’s death would then come when she’s 15. it would be interesting to do something with her father to drive her and B apart - maybe he was out of jail for awhile, and staged a plot that made it look like Steph killed/got a civilian killed? this would lead to an argument between them - Stephanie thinking B doesn’t trust her, Bruce thinking Steph should take a break because of the trauma - and to her then running away. she runs away to Ethiopia to stop the Joker when she hears he’s there, thinking it’s the best way to regain Bruce’s trust
Stephanie then comes back two years later. she’s taken and dipped in the Pit by the LOA after she was found roaming the streets as a zombie post-Superboy Prime.
she comes back pissed. she just wants to prove herself. wants to prove to B that her death was not out of foolishness. she thinks she was replaced with Tim because he was always smarter than her. thinks that he is what B wanted her to be
she’s bitter. she’s hurt. and she’s going to clean up the city. prove that she can be better than what B thinks of her
