Name: 经颜 Jing Yan
Alias: Mao-Tai
Age: 20
Powers/Skills:
Peak Human Condition – After training her whole life for the League, Yan has reached incredible levels of Agility, reflexes, balance, flexibility and speed due to her intense and lengthy focus on achieving this.
• Speed - Capable of sprinting up to 30 mph for short distances
• Endurance – Capable of sustaining a high level of activity for hours without rest.
• Reflexes - She can catch a fired arrow in midair, dodge offensive attacks, and perform amazing physically defensive feats.
• Balance - Balance is at the peak of human perfection, allowing her to perform feats that not even highly trained Olympic gymnasts could accomplish.
• Agility - Dexterity is much better than the likes of an ordinary human, enabling them to move with impressive agility, reflexes, speed, and accuracy.
Fighting Mastery – Years of hand-to-hand training has left its mark on Yan. She is very knowledgeable on how to fight and use her enhanced condition to her advantage.
Weaknesses:
Only Human – Despite the intensive training, Yan is still human and since she normally opts out of armor, she is very susceptible to injury. Serious or crippling injuries will majorly dampen Yan’s ability to fight, run, etc. After prolonged engagements, Yan has to find time to rest as fighting at peak levels takes a serious toll on her overall health.
Old Dog, New Tricks – Yan has been taught to be very traditional, so much so, that it is ingrained in her very being. Advanced technology can be a severe weakness to Yan as she will largely be unable to predict most if not all weaponized gadgets and is largely dependent upon her reaction to those items instead of prevention.

BRIEF Bio:
The League of Shadows was always a place for the orphaned and downtrodden that showed real promise and potential. Yan’s very early life was being an orphaned child alongside several others in Guangzhou, who were abandoned due to the One-Child Policy as Communist China developed. In many ways, children like Yan were the perfect recruits for the League of Shadows as many had no connections to their old lives.
Yan was ‘adopted’ by the league at a young age and trained alongside many of those to obediently serve the League and they did so under Ra’s Al Ghul’s reign. But after Ra’s many defeats from Batman, a man who was infamous for leaving the League, several members felt their allegiance wavier. Many tried leaving but so few managed to succeed. Yan was one of the lucky ones as she fled to the United States to begin her life as an assassin-for-hire for the multitude of rich clientele.
Yan’s nickname, Mao-Tai, came from common use of using Mao-Tai, a Chinese liquor, to poison political and financial enemies of her clients. After a few years of this, she felt unconvinced this was what she was supposed to do but it wasn’t until the death of the famed Batman that she decided to change. Modeling herself more after Bruce, she began targeting only those that were evil or vile in some regard instead of the many innocent people she had killed before. But she never gave herself up completely and believes there can be no mercy for those that she deemed bad. In a sense, she became judge, jury, and executioner for many.
Storylines:
Yan will most likely eventually fall into the hands of our heroes so the question is what do they do with Yan? There is a chance that they may convert her to their cause but who knows.
Yan’s past dealings may reappear in the form the League or some of the other successful ex-members. Both would bring their complications.
