Bio:
Traci Thirteen is a homo magi and is the daughter of superhero Doctor Thirteen. When her mother died from magic, her father forbid her to practice magic. She was raised by Sue and Ralph Dibny in a loving and caring home after her father disappeared. When Traci moved to a slum in Metropolis, she began to tap into the urban magic of the city and temporarily operated as Girl 13.

Traci having spent a number of months living on the streets of the South side of D.C., known as Hell's Heart, reached out to Lana Lang. As Lana tried to find Traci, and help her with the problematic streets, she is captured by a parasitic magical being known as a Heartbreaker. Traci then came into contact with Superman, who had come into the city, under cover to find Lana Lang. As Traci explained the state of the city over dinner with Superman, she revealed the existence of the Heartbreakers to him, and later became aware that he was infected with three of the creatures. As Traci guided Superman towards Lana, she was dragged into the back of a dilapidated house as Superman found Lana.

The figure who had pulled Traci into the house had been her Father, who had also been living rough. With a Heartbreaker attached to his chest, he revealed he hated magic, and hated the fact that it had taken her mother, and blamed Traci for her mothers death, all the while brandishing a knife, threatening to kill her. In the end, Traci and Doctor Thirteen were saved by the timeley intervention of Superman, who managed to bring Dr. Thirteen’s more positive emotions, which forced the Heartbreaker to drop off, and allow him to regain his right mind.

As her Father spent a lot of time recovering in Metropolis hospital, Traci spent a large amount of time with him, until he discharged himself while she was Asleep. During the attack of the forces of Zod, and the general assuming the identity of Superman, Traci rescued Superboy from a severe beating by a gang of people called the Futuresmiths.

Powers:
Traci Thirteen has "urban magic" and can tap into the magic of cities to cast spells, teleport, fire blasts of magic energy, create mystic force shields, and can even transform her pet iguana, Leroy, into a dragon. During her tenure in the Blue Beetle series she shows increased proficiency in any kind of magic, becoming able to teleport, conjure simple items and clothing, using her astral projection to communicate with distant people and access to magic spells unrelated to the urban setting, as a full blown member of the Homo Magi race. It is known that Traci is highly experience in witchcraft, as she practice it often, making her knowledge on occults higher than those of teenagers: magic practitioners such as Zachary Zatara and Black Alice had no clue on any gods to invoke which Traci replied "Great, you use magic but don't practice it.".

Urban Magic: Traci inherited her magical abilities from her mother. Her specialty is city magic, tapping into the knowledge and power of cities.

Magic: Is the art of producing a desired effect or result through the use of incantation or various other techniques that presumably assure human control of supernatural agencies or the forces of nature.

Sorcery: The alleged use of supernatural or magical powers. A witch is a practitioner of witchcraft.

Magical Sight: Traci is able to see people's auras, and can, for a limited time, use the auras' trails to follow them. She can also see certain creatures which are invisible on this plane of existence. This effect is constant.

Magical Blast: A blast of magic which, at its higher levels, is capable of tearing a hole through pavement.

Protection: Traci can create protective circles and force shields. However, these spells can be broken by an attacker.

Divination: Traci can locate objects and people, and can transfer knowledge of their location to someone else's mind. For whatever reason, she couldn't use these spells during her adventures with Superman.

Spells: Traci has been seen casting a limited 'possession' spell, giving her limited control over someone's body, and a 'paper, scissors, stone' spell which destroyed a stone monster.

Familiar: Traci's pet iguana, Leroy, is her sometime familiar. She can talk to him, learning what he's seen and what he thinks. She can also cast a spell which turns him into a monstrous dragon-like creature.

Possession: Traci has been seen casting a limited 'possession' spell, giving her limited control over someone's body.

Psychic Link: Sometimes called "mindlink", Psychic Link is a term used to describe the ability of some characters to connect their minds with others. It is a form of passive Telepathy that can create an empathic bond between one or multiple individuals. Certain characters are connected by their hybrid births and others simply use it as a means of communication.

Leroy, is Traci's pet iguana. She can talk to him, learning what he's seen and what he thinks.

Transformation: She can also cast a spell which turns him into a monstrous dragon-like creature.

Fate Sense: Traci also seems to have something of a limited 'fate sense', which kicks in when she's in certain locations, a sense that something important will happen to her there.

Abilities:

Occultism: is the study of occult or hidden wisdom. To the occultist it is the study of "Truth", a deeper truth that exists beneath the surface: 'The truth is always hidden in plain sight'. It can involve such subjects as magic, extra-sensory perception, astrology, spiritualism, numerology and lucid dreaming. There is often a strong religious element to these studies and beliefs, and many occultists profess adherence to religions such as Gnosticism, Hermeticism, Luciferianism, Thelema, and Neopaganism. While Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity and Judaism are generally not considered as occult, some of their modern interpretations can be, as the interpretation of Hinduism within Theosophy or the various occult interpretations of the Jewish Kabbalah. Orthodox members of such religions are likely to consider such interpretations as false.

Weaknesses:
Concentration: Some of Traci's spells require a verbal or material component to cast. However, even if a spell has no obvious components, she still needs to concentrate when casting it.
