* {{Retcon}}: Her history as Bat-Girl initially never happened in the Post-Crisis era, so readers were supposed to imagine her as Flamebird in any instances where she was with the original Teen Titans. It has since slowly crept back into the continuity, starting with a throwaway line in ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' before being strengthened by Grant Morrison's Batwoman story, and her past as Bat-Girl is seemingly in continuity again. Although it can be noted that since Bette appears as Batgirl in ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'' which explicitly takes place after Crisis, her history was never removed to begin with.
* StalkerWithACrush: Could be seen as this in her early career as Bat-Girl, as her primary motivation to become a crime-fighter was to attract the attention of Robin. As mentioned below, this mellowed out after she met him for the first time.

* ActionHeroine: During her Pre-Crisis and Post-Flashpoint protrayals, she's written as practically being in it partially for the thrill of it all. Kate's perception of this being true (despite her own achievements such as [[RetGone defeating Deathstroke single-handedly]]) causes friction between them. This is at least true for her time as a (Teen) Titans character: her first appearance in the Silver Age series is her independently trying to stop Captain Calamity alongside the other Titans West members, as well as personality re-haul in ''Beast Boy (2000)'' making this a core part of her character.

* {{Retcon}}: Her history as Bat-Girl initially never happened in the Post-Crisis era, so readers were supposed to imagine her as Flamebird in any instances where she was with the original Teen Titans. It has since slowly crept back into the continuity, starting with a throwaway line in ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' before being stregnthened by Grant Morrison's Batwoman story, and her past as Bat-Girl is seemingly in continutiy again.

* TeenGenius: Bette's Post-Crisis iteration portrays her as this as an extension to her ChildProdigy tendencies from her early Bat-Girl (which were, at the time, not in continuity). Her entry in ''Who's Who in the DC Universe'' probably explains it best.
->Even for the beauty-saturated environment of Southern California, Bette Kane was exceptionally attractive, so much so that she was winning beauty contests and absorbing adulation before she could walk on her own. Fiercely competitive, she sought out other challenges, ones where her hard work and talent, not just the beauty she was born with, would make her a winner. Tennis, gymnastics, and swimming became her favorite activities, sports where she could compete, excel, and enjoy the cheers of an adoring audience. That attention helped her to ignore the fact that her aggressive nature was leaving her with fewer and fewer friends; few of Bette's friends had the energy to withstand her constant competitiveness. Finding herself without suitable peers and needing a new challenge, Bette chose her new goal: Robin (Dick Grayson). Years earlier, she'd traveled to Gotham City for a national beauty pageant. There she'd caught sight of Batman and Robin swinging across the skies and had been immediately struck by the image of someone just her age out risking his life with only his skills for protection. For years she nursed a secret crush on Robin, sending him fan letters, making herself a "Robin" suit, practically swinging from a rope tied to the old oak tree in her backyard, but she never let anyone else in on her interest until she created and unveiled her own avian persona, Flamebird. She based her character's style on her own athletic skills, now at an Olympics level, and added her own natural flamboyance to top it off. Flamebird appeared briefly around California, stopping small crimes, staying to pose for pictures and reap all the available publicity, but never managing to achieve her goal of attracting Robin to Califonia. Frustrated, Bette threw herself back into her high school life, forsaking her now-professional athletic activities. Previously a poor student, she decided to approach school as another challenge, attacking her studies with the same spirit she'd previously shown for meets and matches, so she graduated near the top of her class. Deciding she had no interest in college, she pursued her abandoned tennis career, making a stunning comeback at age eighteen. She was on top of the world, but she was bored. Nothing matched the excitement she'd experienced whilst playing Flamebird. While on tour, she came up with the idea she felt would be sure to gain Robin's attention: forming a Titans club of her own. She zealously stalked and invited all youthful west-coast super-heroes to join her new "Titans West," but despite Bette's enthusiasm, personality conflicts and the long-distance commute made the club's tenure a short one. Although the Titans West did manage to meet the east-coast group; the Teen Titans. Flamebird's reception from Robin was a cool one and she was bitterly disappointed-yet not so much that she abandoned her pursuit. If anything, the short meetings with Robin (whom she now knew to be Dick Grayson) left her with a good excuse to keep in contact. Currently, Bette spends part of her year on tour playing tennis, and the other part in Southern California keeping active with such pastimes as skydiving, wind-sailing, and bungee jumping, always in search for a thrill. Although she avoids solo missions as Flamebird, she's always eager to join in when a Titans West reunion is suggested.
