[Hider=Personality]

Rachel is an introvert and distrustful of people in general. She speaks rarely and sparingly to those around her, and seldom offers her opinion unless it's to correct glaring errors in judgment. It gives people the impression she is condescending though she is far from it.

She is an avid reader and keeps a personal library of favourite books and authors. She has a liking for cute things like stuffed animals and puppies though she had precious few of such possessions and would never admit it. Literal warning shots are fired at whosoever confronts her about it.

[hider=History]

Rachel Black was born to a family of mercenaries who were notorious for aiding in the civil wars and fighting of the African warlords. As such, she was raised to fight and kill at a young age, against men twice her size at least. Failure was met with painful disciplinary trainings. She served as an intelligence and wet work operative, silencing men in their sleep and using her age to get where others couldn't. Thus the nickname was given to her - Shadow.

Her family and mercenary group was ultimately betrayed by their employer, fearing they would turn on him, and walked into an ambush as they were caught between members of the Justice League who had come to stop them and their supposed allies who were behind them. Rachel was the only survivor and taking pity on her and desiring to give her a second chance, was taken under Artemis' wing and trained to be a hero instead of just an assassin or gun-for-hire.

Fearing her reception to the team would be less than welcome, Rachel's past was kept a secret from the rest of the Young Justice.[/hider]
