Appearance: Zee is seemingly always ready for a performance. For a magic show, she wears a magician's outifit: a longsleeve white blouse buttoned all the way to the top (sorry boys), a bowtie, cinched corset, a black tuxedo jacket with long coattails, fishnet tights, high-heeled Christian Louboutin boots with the classic red soles, white gloves, and a hat to top it all off.

At home you might find her in nothing but a comfortable knit sweater and underwear.

Personality: Zatanna has a lively personality and stage presence. She's a natural at posing, and as a habit, she tends to stand in a way that accentuates her legs. She has a bit of a flirtatious personality and tends to meddle in the affairs of strangers (sometimes ending in a bit of mischief for the target).

Zee loves nothing more than putting on a good show, and a bit of her theatrics leak into second-shift of crime fighting. Mostly, she handles the supernatural stuff. She recently wrote a book entitled: Hex Appeal: The Modern Girl's Guide to Magic, which sits on the bestseller shelves at most major bookstores.

History: Years before they had children, Zatanna's father Giovanni worked closely with Thomas Wayne on many charities as the entertainment for the children's benefits Wayne Enterprises coordinated. When Bruce's parents died, Zatanna tried her best to lift his spirits performing small tricks to tease him with. She considers Bruce a friend, and can get frustrated when he closes himself off from her.

The little girl who blew bubbles in young master Wayne's face grew up to follow in the family tradition of illusion, building quite a successful career for herself as well. However, when her father went missing, Zatanna's life completely changed. She discovered she was the descendent of a long line of true magicians, stretching all the way from Leonardo Da Vinci, to Nicholas Flamel the alchemist, and Arion the Atlantean. She knew her father fought crime as a full-fledged sorcerer, but it wasn't until she spoke the words backwards that she was able to tap into her genetically inherited powers (ever wondered why Da Vinci wrote his notes backwards?).

With the help of Batman, the Atom and other, she was able to be reunited with him again, but their reunion was short-lived and he died protecting her in a battle against the Great Evil Beast, taking her place in death.

She presently lives in Shadowcrest, which seemingly resides outside of Gotham, but can only be entered by whispering the magic words.
