Name: Cassandra Cain

Alias: Black Bat

Role: Titan. 

Brief Bio: Born to assassin David Cain and Lady Shiva(Sandra Wu-San), on May 23,1999, Cassandra Cain was destined for violence before she even drew her first breath. As a toddler, Shiva gave Cassandra to David, who then took Cassandra to a monastery in Tibet, where the monks neither spoke nor socialized. Here, David trained her in silence, teaching her no language but violence. For Years she was instructed in every kind of martial art, learning everything to know about combat. When she had mastered hand to hand combat, David moved on to weapons. 

Using his contacts within the League of Assassins, David brought in numerous tutors, all the best in their chosen weapon. By age Ten, She had mastered shuriken, by eleven, the staff. As she progressed, Cassandra developed the ability to read body language and emotion. When she was 13, David brought in a condemned serial killer, and instructed her to kill him. She did so, believing it to be a game, but when she saw the man's face, she was horrified, scarred by his dying expression, terror. 

Running from her father and home, Cassandra swore off killing and became a homeless girl. Arriving in Gotham, Cassandra spent weeks avoiding the criminal underground until one night she was cornered by several thugs. Barbara, then Batgirl, had arrived on-scene following up a lead on the gang the thugs belonged to, started to help when Cassandra fought back. Amazed at the girl's fighting ability, Barbara took the girl to Bruce, who agreed to take her in off of Barbara's insistence.

Having already assessed her combat ability, Bruce began to train her in the art of detection, interrogation, and tracking. Unfortunately, her training had left her mute and unable to understand written or spoken language. 

Working to rectify this, Bruce brought Cassandra to Elixir, the man who had saved Jason's life. Joshua then tapped into her mind, and rewired her to be able to understand English. With her mutism and dyslexia more or less fixed, Cassandra sought to go back out in the field but found that her linguistic ability had come at a cost; her combat ability was dampened. 

Angry, Cassandra spent hours learning both English, detective work, and regaining her combat skills. She pushed herself so hard she often slept in the Batcave. When Bruce deemed she was ready, she went back out in the field, this time as the new Batgirl, with Oracle being confined to a wheelchair. 

During the five years she operated as Batgirl, Cassandra fought Bruce's Rogues, and even made an enemy of her own: David Cain, her own father. David had spent years tracking down his daughter and when he found her at Bruce's side, he vowed to kill her AND Bruce. What ensued would arguably be the worst fight of her career. She had beaten her father, but at nearly the cost of her own life. 

A month later, Barbara came back foe the wheelchair and Cassandra stepped down as Batgirl, noting how badly Barbara needed the mantle. Taking her old costume, Cassandra decided to go solo for a while, and renamed herself Black Bat. Bruce approved, and gave her the Bowery to patrol and protect. 

Now she has caught a case that may prove she has what it takes to be a detective. A string of Gang-related deaths in the Bowery May be more than suicide, and the signs point to a telepath…

Equipment: in her utility belt, Cassandra carries batarangs, a grapple gun, a mini forensics kit, and a collapsible staff. 

Abilities: 

[b]Master Hand to Hand Combatant[/b]: Having been raised from birth by David Cain to effectively be a weapon, Cassandra is a master of various forms of close quarters combat, and can even read body language to anticipate opponents' moves

[b]Detective[/b]: While not as good as Bruce, or Jason, Cassandra is a detective in her own right, and is still struggling with the field, although, she is learning. 

[b]Athlete/Parkour[/b]:Being in extremely good shape for someone of her size and weight, she is an excellent athlete, and can easily best Olympic gymnasts. She can also navigate the city via Parkour.

[b]Weapons-master[/b]: As a child, David drilled weapons training into her, forging her into a weapon capable of fighting with almost any weapon, especially swords or shuriken. 

[b]Near-Photokinetic Reflexes[/b]: By watching video or seeing an acrobatic or combat maneuver several times, she can perform any move within normal human range. She still has to practice in order to achieve proficiency

Personality: Cassandra is tomboyish, and never thinks in a feminine sense. She tends to think tactically, and prefers to intimidate rather than flirt with the guys in her life. Due to her unorthodox upbringing, she has a fear of becoming like her father, or mother. She has a temper though, and as such, tends to be headstrong or impulsive.
