RE: my girl Cassandra Cain
As I mentioned in another thread (I think?) I'd like to have her back story tie somewhat with Cassandra's DC backstory, in that she would have been trained from birth as an assassin in the League of Assassins, with the intention of her becoming a bodyguard for Ra's al Ghul.
Canonically, she is driven away from the League after executing her first real kill (as an 8 year old). She runs away when she realises what she has done is wrong, and spends the next 9 years homeless and confused.
The tweak I was thinking of making is having her leave the League when Ra's is killed by Batman (in Batman Begins). She has been raised to protect him and subsequently probably has a lot of awe and respect for him. Losing him to Batman is going to throw her entire purpose into question, and send her off on a path that will probably lead towards trying to assassinate Batman.
Most likely this will put her at odds with other League members, since she has all of their training / probably knows a bunch of their secrets.
Does that jive with what everyone has going on RE: the League?
