Gloria Stokes is a programming director at INN (International News Network). She is also Phoebe “Yuki” Stokes’ twin sister and Amanda Hawkings’ best friend and co-worker. She was hired by INN for her experience in world events and human relations stories, but she was later angry when her producers forced her to edit key world events into a right-wing respective. A liberal and an advocate to women’s rights, she has friction against her supervisors’ especially on news talk shows where they invite and interview more right-wing guests than left-wing. But she had noe more but to stay with the network in order to keep tabs on her bubbly sister, who works as the personal assistant of INN’s star anchorman, Will Williams III. She met Amanda Hawkings on her first day of the job and they became best friends and partners. Since the arrival of Superhawke, Gloria is ecstatic on focusing on programs dedicated to Superhawke’s heroic exploits, but is forced by the network’s CEO to make a sexist smear campaign against the Manhattan Angel, but to Gloria’s chagrin. She publicly advocated Superhawke at women’s right convention, but sometimes complains that the heroine should wear a little less skimpy costume, but that is just a small squabble compared to the great heroics Superhawke has done for the city. Gloria, compared to her sister, is the level-headed of the two; she is very overprotective of Phoebe as is always concerned about her safety in these dangerous times. Gloria is extremely feminist, believing that women should be capable of any task men do. She also has an angry and violent temper, especially towards perverts and sexual harassers. When a man (especially the semi-lecherous Will Williams III) looks at a female employee’s rear end or breasts, or says something about her underwear, Gloria charges at that person and sucker punches him into submission, or kicks him in the crouch. Despite her nasty and extra-feminist demeanor, she is otherwise kindhearted and helpful especially towards her female co-workers. Her favorite hobby is beach volleyball. Her favorite food is canned sardines. She always carries a can of mace and a stun gun for protection with stalking thugs.
