Cassandra Cain

The Blood That Binds Us Together

The Cain family was unconventional in every sense, consisting of David Cain, one of the world's greatest and most notorious assassins, and Sandra Wu-san, also known as Lady Shiva, another of the world's most lethal assassins and one of the best martial artists in the world and in history.

What could come from a union between these two? Cassandra Cain and you.

Cassandra was everything they could have wanted. She was talented, obedient, adaptable, a sponge waiting to absorb more techniques and knowledge. All they had to do was take away much of her humanity, take away her voice, and turn her into a weapon.

You, on the other hand... You weren't terrible, not at all. You were another little prodigy, a diamond in the rough. But you weren't Cassandra. In every fight, she dominated. In every training session, she was the one who did it best. You weren't bad, you weren't just decent, but you weren't at her level, and so you had to work twice as hard and suffer twice as much to meet your parents' expectations for you.

And everything got worse when she ran away.

When she fled after her first mission, leaving you behind with the problem, David and Lady Shiva were furious and disappointed, and you ended up in the crossfire. They put you through hell to squeeze every last drop of potential out of you until you died, unable to withstand the increasingly extreme training and missions... Or so you led them to believe. You took advantage of a golden opportunity to fake your death and make a strategic retreat.

Now, after a long time keeping a low profile, you find yourself in Gotham, a dump that looks like a city, tracking down a shipment of weapons intended for your father. Just as you are preparing to take them down, your long-lost sister surprises you, and you prepare to kill two birds with one stone.
