Other information: Batgirl was either bought or kidnapped at birth by the master assassin Cain. He trained her in lethal combat day and night until she escaped from him about nine years ago after he had her kill a man. She then drifted into Gotham City on her own. Oracle found her and took her in. It was not long before she was given the Batgirl costume Huntress had worn before. At first, Cassandra had the inability to speak. Her language was that of body movement. This gave her an advantage in combat since she was able to read her opponents' moves before they were made. An encounter with a Metahuman changed her life since he allowed her to understand English. After a while, Batman gave Batgirl her own Batcave, which is where she lives now. Recently, she not only learned to speak after much practice, she also defeated Shiva, the best martial artist and most deadly assassin. Batgirl is also becoming a good friend of Spoiler, who trained under her for a while. With so much going on in her life, who knows what will happen next? ^_~
