Paula Crock

Paula Crock is a Vietnamese woman who is confined to a wheelchair for unknown reasons. She lives in a tiny apartment with her daughter, Artemis, in Gotham City.

Early life
Paula and her husband shared a history as criminals. During one of their crimes, Paula was crippled, and as a result took the fall for her husband. Paula spent the next six years in prison, during which Artemis was raised alone by her father.

Eventually Paula was released from prison and returned home to Artemis. She then spoke in private with Artemis' father, stating that she had gone straight and that she wanted Artemis to not become a criminal like they had been and that she wanted him to leave, saying "I lost one daughter while I was away, I won't lose the other." Unknown to the two of them, their conversation was overheard by Artemis who then escaped into Gotham clad in her green costume and fought crime.

Present
On August 27, Paula received a letter in the post for Artemis, but opened it herself. The letter was revealed to be a scholarship to Gotham Academy, a prestigious school. After showing her daughter the letter, Artemis declined the invite, because her friends went to Gotham North High School. Paula was very upset at this, and began to cry, whilst telling Artemis that she just wants her to have the opportunities that she never got. Artemis then reluctantly agreed to go to Gotham Academy, which pleased Paula very much.

Artemis Crock
Paula Crock obviously cares about her daughter very much, as she insisted she go to Gotham Academy to better her life, saying that it was an opportunity that Paula herself never had. She is aware of Artemis' vigilante activities, which she calls her "extra curriculars". She cares for her daughter's well being and future so much, she began to cry when her daughter declined the invite to Gotham Academy.
