She'll be an Empowered criminal along the lines of Deadshot or Black Widow: an excellently trained and conditioned human with an alarming number of skills and a few high-tech helping hands. Dru will be known as Dreadshot, a soldier of fortune whose hallmark is an Empowered rifle that supposedly allows her to never miss. She'll take any job for the right pay, and is rumored to have sometimes taken jobs for what would be considered a token fee simply because she wanted to. (Usually this is mentioned in conjunction with some altruistic act or another.)
In fact, Dru's "never miss" record is because she's simply that good of a markswoman. Her rifle's actual ability is to shapeshift into any weapon on command, always returning to her hand if lost, and always having ammunition if ranged. The weapon always incorporates an eye-like jewel on its body somewhere. (Sometimes it blinks.) The rifle she carries with her is a (fully functional!) replica of her weapon in its rifle form; the weapon itself takes the form of a hunting knife.
She was tossed into the Tower of London near the start of the war. Due to being at least nominally a British citizen, the government attempt to strongarm her into serving them, and Dru strongly declined the honor. She was summarily arrested -- killing at least one Empowered hero in the process, or so they say -- and tossed into the Tower for treason and every other crime they could find.
Dru will take this mission for the chance, however slim, of freedom. She is well known for her strong antipathy toward the British government and for her mercenary mindset. The possibility that she may betray the mission for money, revenge, or both, is very real. As is the possibility she'll run at the first opportunity.
