    Origin

    The sisters Vivien and Constance D'Aramis were the twin daughters of a research scientist for pharmaceutical company. When the twins learned their mother had died of cancer caused by experiments at the corporation, the company knew they could have law suit that could ruin them. This led to the death to their father. After this the twins swore revenge against Maurice Puanteur, the CEO of the company. They established a competing business to expose the unscrupulous company and put them out of business. They named their company Revson.

    In order for the sisters to keep their identity a secret they faked the the death of Constance. Constance was chosen by drawing straws. This would allow one of them to tend to matters of business as Vivian while the other battled crime as the Crimson Fox. They did this because they thought that it may be a bit obvious for a known public figure to disappear at odd times. This allowed them the perfect secret identity.

    Creation

    The character of Crimson Fox was created for use in DC Comics by Keith Giffen and Bart Sears. Her first appearance is in Justice League Europe #6 which was released in September, 1989. The character was later adapted for use in DCAU.

    Evolution

    Crimson Fox made her first appearance Justice League Europe. She later killed the man who killed her parents and got her revenge. Due to the fact that she was twins and not just one person her mood and mannerisms changed often. She slowly became a background character. Her unusual costume made her often stand out in group shots of heroes. When the twin both died she came back briefly in Blackest night.

    There was a second Crimson Fox who belong to the Global Guardians but it was always unclear on her connection to the original D'Aramis sisters. Although she claims she was the heir to the D'Aramis fortune.
