Traci Thirteen (New Earth)

Traci inherited her looks from her mother, along with her talent for magic. As she grew up, her mother taught her some of her spells, much to her father's dismay.

In the end, though, it was magic which killed Traci's mother, and left her and her father bereft, though the details of the event have never been made clear. Despite—or perhaps because of—the tragedy, though, Traci maintained her practice of magic.

Traci and her father lived something of a rootless, nomadic lifestyle, eventually ending up in Washington D.C. While there, Traci assisted Superman on a couple of adventures, even living in Metropolis for a brief time^[1]. Traci was trained by Ralph Dibny and his wife Sue Dibny some time after her mother's death^[2].

During Infinite Crisis, Traci assisted in rebuilding the shattered Rock of Eternity, locating many of the fragments scattered across Gotham City^[3].

One Year Later

She resides with her father in Doomsbury Mansion, the ancestral home of her family (which Traci irreverently nicknames 'Dorksbury Mansion'). She now goes by the alias of Traci 13.

Traci was annoyed by her father's skepticism and boring outlook until an investigation into a plane crash in the French Alps brought them up against the self-proclaimed "Architects of the Universe", who sought to erase Terry from the universe, believing he no longer had a place in it. The Thirteens teamed up with other would-be victims of the Architects, destroying them and foiling their plans^[4].

Later, Traci met and began dating Jaime Reyes, the newest Blue Beetle^[5]. She was approached by the Teen Titans as a potential member, but declined, feeling it would be too weird to be on the same team with her boyfriend^[6]. However, Traci remains an ally of the Titans and has helped them with her magic on several adventures.
