19. The Mime
Camilla Ortin was the daughter of Oscar Ortin, a major Gotham fireworks salesman. Camilla hated fireworks and loud noises throughout her childhood. This only worsened when her parents died in an explosion at her father’s fireworks factory.
Running a fireworks factory in Gotham and not expecting it to explode and kill at least one person is really just downright foolish. Like, come on there, buddy, you know what city you live in.
Camilla decided to become a mime, loving the silence of the job. She started the Gotham mime troupe known as the Cameo Company under her stage name Camilla Cameo. It went bankrupt almost immediately, which is zero surprise. There is no city that likes mimes enough to support a company of them, much less the one where seeing a guy in clown face paint usually means you’re gonna die horribly. God, these Ortins, they really don’t know how to pick careers that work in Gotham.
Camilla then became a supervillain, because eh, why not.
