NAME: Cassandra Cain
CODENAME: None
AGE: 17
GENDER: Female
ALLIANCE: Ra's Al-Ghul's League of Assassins
HEIGHT: 5'5"
WEIGHT: 127 lb.
FAMILY: David Cain (Father), Lady Shiva (Mother), Ra's Al-Ghul (Master)
OTHER CHARACTERS: Conner and Tim
APPEARENCE: Cassandra is a tall young woman, conidering her ethnicity, with a slender build compromised heavily of toned muscle. Her half-Asian ethnicity is highly apparent with her oriental skin tone, and black hair accompanied by brown eyes. Cain also often wears her hair short in order to prevent it from being used against herself in combat. The clothing of choice for the assassin is pretty much only her uniform that can easily be described as a ninja outfit.
PERSONALITY: Cain is both determined and driven, often not letting anything stop her in pursuit of completing the task that was set before her by Ra's. Coming off as distant to others, this is really a part of her feeling alone thanks to the lack of ability to speak that was instilled into the youg woman by her father. She can grow frustrated easily, especially when met with someone of a skill level comprable to her own. This is thanks to her lack of fighting against others near her own level. That can often be used against the teenager to win in battle.
POWERS:
Peak Human Conditioning: Through the continuous and intense physical training during Cass's entire life, she has developed a level of physical performance comprable to those of the finest human athlete.
Martial Artist: Cassandra is highly proficient in nearly all forms of eastern and western martial arts. She has mastered a fair number of the eastern ones completely, and is quickly frowing with the more modern ones that she continues to learn at the hands of her master. Her primary style of fighting is Dragon Style Kung Fu.
Assassination: Cain is trained in stealth, pressure points, and a respectable number of killing techniques.
Body Reading: Cassandra has the advanced ability to read another's body language to know their thoughts, and know what they plan to do before they do it. This has been substituted for her ability to speak and as such is a subconcious affect utilized by her brain. It has been shown that the girl is still able to read the movements of those much faster that herself. However she has to take time to study aliens and other non-humans before knowing that particular body language. She can also effectively communicate her own thoughts through actions as well, though only detectives and those who know her well can actually read them.
HISTORY: Cassandra Cain is the only daughter of David Cain and Lady Shiva. She was the product of what David determined would be the perfect genetics to create the ultimate body guard for Ra's Al-Ghul. As the child grew up, she was trained to become the ultimate weapon by her father and a variety of Al-Ghul's other henchmen. However, she was not taught how to speak in the conventional method. Instead she was taught to read body language to a nearly unbeatable degree.
Over time she became a force to be reckoned with, having several encounters with heroes while in her service to Ra's. More recently, though, she has been able to leave her master's side while he pursues his goals as a member of the light.
ROLE-PLAYING SAMPLE: Cain moved through the shadows silently, stalking the man who had been marked as her target by Ra's. The man had been using his personal bodyguard more and more for personal hits recently instead of as his own guardian.
Her master had been much more distant than usual towards his servants. Especially towards the ones he was particularly close to, Cassandra included, this was huge cause for concern. After all, the man had always spoken to the girl considering that she couldn't really say anything back to him or tell others what he had said in any degree of detail.
That wasn't her place to judge, however, the girl was simply supposed to follow master Ra's orders and that was all. As the businessman who had been troublesome to Master Al-Ghul in recent months now had his back turned. In a flash of movement Cain sprung on the young man, toppling him over with such astounding speed that he had no time to even scream in pain when her knife plunged into his upper back. This act effectively severing all nerve connections to the rest of her body and killing him.
