Anita Fite is the daughter of Donald Fite, of the All-Purpose Enforcement Squad, who, with his partner Ishido Maad, hounded Young Justice throughout the team's early days.

Young Justice encountered Empress when she helped Cassie Sandsmark survive a poisonous bite. While at the Olympics to support their former teammate, Arrowette, they discovered her identity when the Empress name slipped out.

Anita Fite had become a hero due to the inspiration of Arrowette. Anita had seen Arrowette stop a thief in a mall, and was so impressed that she began to use her natural abilities to fight for good. There was tension at first between Arrowette and Empress, as Arrowette belived that Empress had simply wanted to replace her in the team, but the girls quickly came to an understanding and became friends.

She hated Agua Sin Gaaz, who apparently had murdered her mother. After battling her grandmother, Anita's parents were reincarnated. She left the team to take care of them.

ParaphernaliaEdit

Weapons

Emperor's Stick

Empress uses a "sword baton" with a retractable blade. Through the use of the Emperor's Stick, Empress can teleport to any place that she knows that is within 10 miles of her current location as often as she would like. She doesn't need to see her destination, only have a prior knowledge of it (where it is, what it is, the terrain). She needs no concentration or prayer to make it happen. However, if she attempts to bring a passenger, it can be physically taxing to both her and her passenger likening to sprinting for a minute straight.

TriviaEdit

The name Anita Fite is an intentional pun; "I need a fight".
She is usually written as speaking with a Haitian patois.
