Character name: Captain Stephanie Grace Rogers Character fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe Version: 2 Canon point: Post Avengers Importing development from old game? Nope, fresh start. Background: Marvel Cinematic Steve Rogers - Captain America at the Marvel Wiki.
Changes from canon, if AU: There are a lot of changes from the original canon. The first and most obvious one is that Captain Rogers was born a female.
Her father (Joseph Rogers) was confirmed KIA by mustard gas in WWI. Her mother (Sarah Rogers) worked as a nurse in a TB ward. However, when Steph was five years old, Sarah caught pneumonia and passed on as well. From there, she was transferred to an orphanage where she was picked on by the other girls for being too ill, too skinny and small on a regular basis. Here, she met Bucky Barnes and the two became instant friends.
Often enough, Barnes was the one that looked after Steph during the Depression Era and immediately after. Bucky didn't believe her to be as sickly as she was and gave her hope that not everyone would treat her like she would fall over dead within the next minute. Even though he had witnessed her easily getting sick, he held firm that Steph was able to stand and fight on her own two feet. By the time they reached their teens, they were able to move out of hte orphanage and into a drafty, rickety apartment of their own. It was meager but they had each other and that was all that mattered to them: someone to look out for the other's back.
When WWII came around, Steph decided she wanted to be on the front lines as well. Victory gardens and scrap collecting was all fine and dandy but she wanted a taste of adventure, having admired Amelia Earhart as a child. She tried several times to enlist as a yeoman, but got rejected five times.
She tried one more time at the World of Tomorrow fair. Which was where she met Dr. Abraham Erskine. Intrigued, he asked her why she wasn't interested in staying home like any other wife or sweetheart. Steph replied that she know what it was like to be picked on. She didn't like the thought of others being picked on on such a grand scale. She wanted to play a more active role in the war effort. Erskine was moved by her words and allowed her to enlist as Colonel Phillips' secretary.
It was here, she met Agent Carter, and the two became fast friends in their solidarity of being the few females assigned to this project that weren't nurses. Steph often picked up the slack around the office and ran as many errands as Phillips could churn out, determined despite her poor health. Erskine was pushing for Steph's candidacy, despite her health and her gender. To prove his point, Phillips rolled a dummy grenade. Steph immediately jumped on it, shocking all around her except for Peggy and Erskine. Phillips still declined her simply because the bureaucrats would never go for a woman taking on such a role.
It was due to an urgent message that had to be delivered to Phillips that brought Steph into the chambers where the serum was to be administered to Hodge. Hodge hadn't arrived yet. And Steph, being as clumsy as she was, tripped over a cable and landed in the capsule. Erskine, seeing this opportunity, set the entire process in motion. Stark, liking the idea of a super dame, went along with Erskine's process. Steph came out the peak of human perfection.
Despite Phillips' and Senator Brandt's fury over why Erskine let Steph be the recipient of the serum, they were able to witness her chase down a HYDRA spy through the lab, then through the streets of Brooklyn. She managed to capture the spy, but he killed himself with a cyanide capsule.
With no remnants of the super soldier serum, Steph had a choice to sit in a lab or tour with the USO group to rally the home forces to buy bonds as Lady Liberty. The catcalls in Italy drove her off stage and she met Peggy again, who offered her kind words to encourage Steph to be more than what others expected her to be. Upon hearing Bucky was behind enemy lines, Steph made the decision on her own to go behind enemy lines to save him and the other men held prisoners.
When she successfully rescued the prisoners and returned to camp, she was granted a new name and rank: Captain America. And a new set of missions: to destroy all the HYDRA bases to give the Allied forces a one up over Schmidt.
She still lost Bucky, she still crashed the plane into the Arctic. And woke up 70 years in the future.
Personality: As a child, Steph idolized Amelia Earhart and strove to be as brave as possible. If she could fly around the world, then Steph believed she could do anything. Her father died young so it was primarily she and her mother until she was five. This traumatic event was a major set back as it has made Steph very wary of hospitals. It was unfortunate that she witnessed her mother's last moments and no one would explain to her what happened. During her stay in the orphanage, she faced bullying because of her poor health and found her resolve to fight back. If Amelia Earhart could fly around the world, then Steph believed that she could just push back against the mean girls. If she ran, then she would always be running. She figured if she pushed back, then she could get them to eventually stop. This tenaciousness followed her through the years.
This toughened Steph to be even more of a scrap than she was originally, easily getting into fights in the defense of others that were weak and small animals. Her health stopped her once in a while, which required Bucky to run her to the doctors. The two remained close like siblings.
It's this determination and noble spirit to protect those weaker than her that endeared Steph to Peggy and Erskine. He had told her once that her heart was greater than any of the candidates that the Senator had chosen for them. Even after the serum, Steph remained, as she called herself, "that stick of a girl from Brooklyn." She was humble about her abilities and often downplayed it off of the battlefield.
When she lost Bucky, however, it was like a light went out in Steph's world. She became less cheerful and more willing to throw herself into danger, willing to go into Schmidt's lair and avenge Bucky's death.
After awakening in the 21st century, Steph learned that most of her friends had passed on. With little to live for and the new decade being something to be adjust to, the psychologists saddled her with PTSD, mild depression. After the events of the Avengers movie, she finds her place in the world again, finds her footing and goes into the world with the same gumption she had over seventy years ago.

Writing sample: She knew the look on their faces whenever she was at SHIELD, the whispers that were passed from one to the other. Questions that most of them were afraid to ask her for fear of her throwing them out a window. Was she like the war women they read about in their history books? Did she sit in a factory? Her posters outsold Rosie the Riveter's, that's got to mean something. Steph just smiled politely at their looks and spent her time either at the gym or walking around her old neighborhood. It was nice. No one recognized her now, not at first sight at least. And that allowed Steph to roam around without the worry of photographers or autograph seekers. New York was warmer than the last time she was here. It was autumn and she didn't even need a jacket. She approached the old brownstone that used to be her and Bucky's building. Everything almost looked like it did the day she left in 1942. She took one step, then another up onto the stoop and sat down, looking out into the street.
Fury told her about the HYDRA weapon and how Howard combed the ocean looking for her but found that instead. She read over the briefing packet when she decided to get some fresh air. Hearing honks and seeing kids play comforted her. Some things didn't change. Which meant she didn't need to be shelved or put away like some artifact in a museum. She could take up the shield again. She could be Captain America again. She could almost hear Bucky's encouraging voice telling her to get off her keister and get out there.
Steph chuckled softly to herself and stood up from the stoop in time for a nondescript, shiny black car to arrive. A nervous, soft spoken man jumped out and opened the door for her. "Captain Rogers, I'm Agent Coulson of SHIELD. I'm here to escort you." He looked excited, nervous, as if he could barely contain his energy. "I've got to say, it's a pleasure to meet you, Captain."
She gave him a smile and headed into the car. No doubt, if SHIELD rolled out the big car, it meant they wanted her this badly on the mission. As soon as the car began to move, Coulson handed her another SHIELD computer and helped her turn it on to brief her on the various members they were considering for her team.
Brave new world, indeed.
Voice sample: You'll need to forgive me, it's been a few decades since I've been in front of so many people. Especially without the spangly outfit. I look out into the crowd today and I know I am seeing faces that I saw over seventy years ago. Some of you were with me in Europe, others of you in the Pacific Theater. No one ever told any of us that we would see what we saw when we got Over There. No one ever warned us of how losing a brother in arms kills us worse than a shrapnel or grenade. It's easy to remember that. I remember the men I lost on our missions. And we 'll never forget them. They laid down their lives for us so that we could stand here today, so we can embrace and pass on our memories and hopes and dreams to our children and grandchildren. Some of us, even great grandchildren. Those men, and women, are remembered fondly.
But then I look out and see all of us who survived. Who came home. I got letters of fellas that came home and married their sweethearts, settled down, and lived out their lives, thanking me for making sure that it happened. But I didn't make it happen. Not by myself. All of us did. So today is a day to celebrate you, my brothers in arms. Because you made it back. To me, you're the real super heroes. You're what helped the great people of this great country remain free.
