Early Life
Cassandra Cain is the daughter of Rā's al Ghūl’s League of Assassins-members Lady Shiva and Jackal. From an early age, she was subjected to a brutal regime by her parents to make her the perfect assassin and greatest weapon. This included damaging her vocal cords, so the only language she would learn was body language. This also left her body, and particularly her face, covered in scars.

Unfortunately, an innate sense of right and wrong caused her to abandon her intended fate and run away from her parents to wander the world as a homeless drifter after performing her first "hit" mission at the age of 5, which was to be one for the Cabal Light.

At age 17, she eventually made her way to Gotham, where after saving the life of James Gordon from an assassination attempt, she came under the attention of Batman, who trained her with his team, with Cassandra given the mantle of Batgirl despite her inability to read or speak, using instead her great martial prowess and ability to read body language to aid Batman in his fight to save the city. He also vouched for her to her Team, so she could be trusted despite her inability to learn her true identity through a full face mask.
