Kendra Saunders’ new backstory -- as per Martin Sanchez -- is as follows:
Kendra Sanchez was born to Dominican-American couple Miguel and Trina Sanchez (née Munoz) in Austin, Texas. Unfortunately, she didn’t really get a chance to know them, as they were both slain by a corrupt cop while she was still a child. She went to go live with her grandfather Cesar Sanchez, a former OSS agent and retired private investigator.
Cesar knew something about Kendra that she was not aware of yet; she has lived countless lives. The first was as Chay-Ara, an Egyptian princess, and the most recent life as Shiera Sanchez, his cousin and the first one of her past lives to go by the superhero mantle of Hawkgirl.
Cesar knew that when Kendra was ready, she would have to take up the mantle of Hawkgirl. And while she may be ready mentally, as all of the memories of her past lives will come back to her, she needs to be ready physically as well. So he trains her in all the basic skills she’ll need to become Hawkgirl. Kendra didn’t think this was too weird. She just thought her abuelo was teaching her to defend herself.
It wasn’t until one day that it all hit her...literally. One day after her classes in film school, she was driving home and got into an accident. It was at that moment that her past lives made themselves known to her. Cesar could tell his granddaughter was ready to become Hawkgirl the moment she came home and he saw her eyes. That was years ago. Now, she lives a double life. One moment, she is famed adventurer Kendra Sanchez. The next, she is the winged superhero, Hawkgirl.
