Mavis Trent was the Midway City Museum's naturalist and anthropolist. When Katar and Shayera Hol arrived on Earth-One and adopted the human aliases of Carter and Shiera Hall, they were employed as the musuem curator and his assistant. Immediately feeling an attraction for both Carter and his alter ego, Hawkman, Mavis tried to seduce the object(s) of her affection repeatedly. On one occasion, after coloring her brunette hair red, Mavis found the concealed outfit of Hawkgirl in a secluded area of the musuem, and pretended to be the heroine during one tale when she and Hawkman defeated the Master Electrician.
Hester Morgan was a renowned ornithologist who struggled with a hidden temptation, unbridled greed! Using her knowledge of birds and their method of flight, she designed a glider harness shaped as wings* as well as a a blinding magnesium flashbulb to blind her foes, and from these the Hummingbird was born! She committed crimes thwarted by Hawkman and Hawkgirl of Earth-Two, yet was shown mercy by not turnimg her over to the authorities.
Years later, Mavis discovered the truth as to the Hall's true origins being the Winged Warriors and aliens from the planet Thanagar. Once more locating one of Hawkgirl's costumes, Trent tried it on again and was mistook for the actual Shayera Hol by a renegade Thanagarian agent, who killed her. As for Hester, she became vengeful at Hawkgirl whom she perceived as the reason she wsa defeated, and so hatches a scheme to distract the heroine with publicity so she and her husband would be preoccupied while Morgan commited further crimes. Despite this, Hawkgirl and Hawkman cornered Morgan, whom they delivered with her henchmen to the police.
* Hester Morgan's unique artificial wings mirrored the biological wings spawned when Francie Lee ingested her husband Kirk "Man-Bat" Langstrom's Bat-Extract, and briefly became She-Bat on a couple occasions.
