## **History**

### **Cassandra Sandsmark: 1999 - 2012**

Cassie’s story starts with her mother, archaeologist Helena Sandsmark who was on assignment at a significant excavation in Greece when she fell in love with a local name Zach. Though Zach would ultimately end up disappearing one night with one of the excavation’s artifacts, he did leave Helena with a souvenir of Greece when Cassie was born nine months later.

After returning stateside and getting employment at the Gateway City Museum of Antiquities, Helena began to notice that her daughter was unusually special. By age six, Cassie was not only more physically capable than her peers but was a full head and shoulders taller than the tallest boy in her grade.

When she was eight, Cassie crashed her bike and flew over her bike’s handlebars head-first into a wall and walked it off without a scratch. When Helena took Cassandra to the hospital regardless of a lack of visible injuries, she had to admit that she couldn’t remember the last time Cassandra had ever been sick (for the record, it was when Cassie was three). Due to the rise of the metahuman phenomenon at the time, Helena decided it was best to keep her daughter close. So when Helena became curator at the museum, Cassie would spend most of her after-schools hours at the museum; but even then, she could not escape the sense that she was different as some of the relics and artifacts in the museum’s Greek exhibit gave her an uneasy feeling and was also shocked to know she could read ancient Greek.

Cassie tried her best to blend in, but in 2015, with the JLA disbanded, Wonder Woman was spending more time in Gateway City and Cassie began to feel a strange bond to her. This bond became so familiar to Cassie that when she was Diana Prince at the Greek Exhibit, Cassie knew she was the Amazon princess. Before Cassie introduced herself, Circe arrived to steal a medallion from the exhibit, forcing Diana to run off for a quick costume change. To prevent Circe’s escape, Cassie grabbed some old weaponry from a display to stall Circe: but was chocked to find her touch woke the dormant magic in the archaic weaponry. After seeing this display, Wonder Woman took Cassie to Olympus to meet their shared deadbeat dad: ZEUS!

### **Wonder Girl: 2012 - Present**

Taken by her half-sister Diana of Themyscira to Olympus, Cassie met her absentee dad: Zeus, King of Olympus. There was an elaborate feast and celebration, as Zeus is keen to do for his offspring once they reach a certain age, even for his illegitimate children. Hermes was even dispatched to Earth to retrieve Cassie's mother, Helena Sandsmark. At this celebration, Diana spoke to Zeus and Helena on Cassandra's behalf. She told the tale of what had happened at the museum against Circe asked for their consent. Diana sought Helena's consent to take Cassandra on as s pupil, or sidekicks: and Zeus' consent to perform the same ritual he had once done for Diana to grant her the additional powers that made her Wonder Woman. After a rather lengthy and involved discussion, it was decided that Cassie could become a powered heroine with the added stipulation that her powers have a "magical off switch" which Helena would control simply through placing a geas on Cassandra to obey her parents' wishes or lose her powers until Helena reinstated them or she reached eighteenth birthday.

At first Cassandra was restricted to accompanying Diana on the rare weekend training session, but that was only on the condition that her homework was completed and her chores finished. During her first summer break as Wonder Girl, Cassandra not only got to go out on regular nightly patrol with Diana but even accompanied Diana on a few field missions. Before her return to school in the fall of 2015, Diana felt Cassandra had proven herself enough to bring her to Themyscira where she surprised her half-sister by having Queen Hippolyta name her a true and honored citizen of Themyscira, and therefore an Amazon. Fun fact, since her dad is a king, that makes Cassie the only Amazon princess that's not Hippolyta's daughter.

The next year was more of the same, but that following summer was a big highlight. Due to Diana being occupied elsewhere, Cyborg took over Cassie's hero training. This made her a member of The Titans and introduced her to many of her friends she still has today. Here she also met Tim Drake and Conner Kent... more on her dating life later.

## **Appearance**

Wonder Girl has a slender yet muscular build with blue eyes and blonde hair with unkempt bangs. Her hair is long, running down her back.

Her first costume she wears a black headband. She wears a black sleeveless top with two stylized golden W's on it, which resemble the W's that Wonder Woman wears across her camisole. She has red sweatpants with two white stripes on the sides, and blue shoes. When her Stealth-tech is active, her entire costume, shoes and all, turns black, with the exception of the stylized W's, which turn gray. Like Wonder Woman, she wears two silver bracelets and star earrings (though silver instead of red), and uses a golden lasso that hangs at her waist.

Cassie second costume instead of a black headband, she wears a red one. She's wearing a red tank top just like her original one with two stylized golden W's on it, which resemble the W's that Wonder Woman wears across her camisole. Like Wonder Woman, she wears two silver bracelets and now red star earrings. She now wears a black belt with a silver buckle in the middle of it. She wears red jeans with white stars going down the side of them. She wears knee-high black boots.

Her new costume is far different now and more similar to that her sister Wonder Woman. She now wears a golden helmet with a ruby star in it just like her sister's Tiara. She now wears a red bustier with golden edges and straps that on the right one connects to a golden shoulder pad. Now instead of silver bracelets, she wears golden ones well four of them. Two small ones above her elbows and two around her wrist. She has a belt with a Giant Silver W on it for Wonder. She has a lasso connected to her belt. She has a strap on her left leg above her knee. She now wears brown combat boots up to her knee.

This is Cassie's final costume. She will wear this armor when her sister Diana passes her title as Wonder Woman to her. She still wears red star earrings but now her shoulderpad isn't connected to her outfit and in it's on her left. She wears a strapless sparkling ruby red bustier jumpsuit similar to her previous outfits she has a brace of gold resembling two W's. She wears matching sparkling ruby red undersleeves with fingerless gloves with golden accents on her knuckles. Her belt is golden with giant W's on it with black accents on it. In addition to her lasso, she carries a sword on her belt and a small round shield on her back. She also wears golden boots.

## **Personality**

Wonder Girl is a very tough young girl, with a very energetic, carefree and eager personality. In general, she prefers taking on foes stronger than herself. She loves to fight, and enjoys missions in which there will be physical confrontations. Sitting on the sidelines is less to her liking.

She can occasionally lose focus when impressed by something, but can regain focus when corrected. Her teammates have also remarked that stealth is not her strong suit. She is very strong, energetic, carefree, kind, nice, sweet and sassy, but not too smart or very bright. She is also very protective, maternal and naïve.

## **Powers, Abilities, Equipment, and Weaknesses**

### **Powers**

**Demigoddess Physiology:** As the daughter of Zeus, Cassandra has abilities which far exceed those of mortals and many metahumans and she has been endowed with even more through the patronage of several Olympian gods. Cassie being the daughter of Olympian God Zeus, Cassie can tap into her own powers as a demi-god (like her brother Heracles). Her real powers increased to an even greater level of strength and abilities than ever before. Cassie is still a young girl and as she grows so may her powers and abilities and she may one day join her father as an Olympian Goddess.

* **Supernatural Strength:** Cassandra is as strong as her older brother Hercules. As Wonder Girl has shown she is strong enough to match the strength of Superboy. As she keeps maturing her strength increasing to the point where she can lifting objects weighting over 100 tons. Allowing her to effortlessly bend metal bars, send enemies flying through solid walls, reinforced glass, pry open steel doors, and could effortlessly throw a bus around.
* **Supernatural Stamina:** Cassie fatigues at about a seventh of the rate of a normal woman of her age and build. When Cassie does begin to tire it is mostly a mental strain due to her body producing very little lactic acids. At her peak, she can exert herself physically at peak capacity for about 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in her blood begins to impair her.
* **Supernatural Durability:** Cassandra's body is much harder and more resistant to conventional forms of physical injury than the body of a human. She can withstand falls from great heights, exposure to extremes in both temperature and pressure, high caliber bullets, being hit by certain level energy blasts, and being struck by a superhumanly strong opponent, that would severely injure or kill a normal human.
* **Supernatural Speed:** Cassandra can run and move at speeds that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. She can move fast enough to not register in the normal peripheral range of humans and seemingly vanish and disappear at will. Under observation she has run at the inhuman speeds (200 MPH). She is immune to the effects of high-speed travel, including acceleration, friction, g-force, inertia, etc.
* **Flight:** Cassie is capable of mystically unassisted flight by gliding on air currents at a max speed of around 1,500 MPH through sure act of will, enabling her to soar through the atmosphere at sub-orbital levels and travel across the planet. She is immune from the effects of extreme height, such as dizziness and lightheartedness.
* **Semi-Immortality:** Cassandra is functionally immortal. As with most Olympians, Cassandra ceased naturally aging shortly after fully maturing. She is immune to the ravages of time, and could easily live for thousands upon thousands of years.
* **Supernatural Reflexes:** Cassandra's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete. Cassie is fast enough, her mind processes information at least on a subliminal level that she is aware of her surroundings. She is fast enough to dodge and catch bullets. She is even fast enough to protect herself from multi-vector attacks using her gauntlets. At close-range, she can use the gauntlets to block blades, weapons, and punches.
* **Supernatural Athleticism:** Cassandra's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are beyond the physical limits of the finest human athlete. Cassandra is extraordinarily limber and her tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being is despite her physical strength. She has agility and acrobatic prowess that is far more accomplished than the most skilled circus aerialists and acrobats.
* **Supernatural Senses:** All five of Cassandra senses can be used to a superhuman degree. Cassandra sense of sight, taste, hearing, touch, and smell are superhuman. She can see thousands of miles away with immense resolution and see/track things too fast for the natural eye, hear through dense walls perfectly and listen to the smallest noises from extremely far away places, smell anything over vast distances up to and including individual molecules/atoms, taste the smallest details to the extent of distinguishing at a molecular level, and feel the slightest vibration in the air, ground and water.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Cassandra is able to rapidly heal and regenerate from harm faster and more extensively than normal humans are capable of. If injured, her metabolism enables her to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue faster and more extensive than a human being is capable of. Injuries such as slashes and puncture wounds can heal completely within a matter of hours and broken bones within a matter of days. Due to her highly efficient immune system, Cassandra is immune to all Earthly diseases, poisons, drugs, and infections.
* **Divine Energy Manipulation:** As the daughter of Zeus, Wonder Girl has limited control over the supernatural divine energy of the Old Gods, which she usually emits through her Bracelets of Submission. When she clashes her bracelets together, she releases a large spherical blast of blue (that takes the appearance of a star) energy, Cassie is capable of powering up her magical abilities allowing her to be capable of casting spells. She can use this power to manipulate weather, air, water, temperature, and electricity just like her dad.

### **Abilities**

**Amazonian Training:** Cassie has only just begun her Amazonian training (by Amazon standards) but what she does know is extensive by mortal standards and helps shape her physical potential into a true weapon.

* **Supernatural Combat:** Cassie is an excellent warrior being trained by the Amazons of Themyscira. She is a master of armed and unarmed combat, proficient with nearly every weapon ever made (especially the bow and the javelin) and the exotic martial arts styles of the Amazons. Cassie is highly skilled in combat, with her fighting style comprised of Aikido, Boxing, Judo, Kali, Karate, Krav Maga, Kung Fu and Taekwondo.
* **Magic Intuition:** Cassie possesses knowledge and understanding of magic. She has used her magical artifacts to help increase her powers
* **Weapon Proficiency:** Cassie has displayed skilled with various weapons, most notably her whips & swords.
* **Hunting Intuition:** Cassie knows how to hunt and being able to hunt for mystical creatures such as monsters, chimeras, and Nemean lions.

**Excavation Intuition:** Although nowhere near the level of her mother, Cassandra has learned quite a bit from her mother.

**Enhanced Investigation:** When she dated Tim, Cassandra became quite the amateur detective and learned to fine-tune her senses to be used for some forensic purposes.

**Multilingualism:** Because of her travel record early in her life, she's learned a few languages. She speaks some Mandarin, Spanish, Greek (Ancient and Modern), Latin, and a couple of others too.

**Enhanced Charisma:** Cassie has proven herself to be a good leader in the field as she would often take charge of Teen Titans before Kaldur'ahm was selected to be the official team leader. Though a gifted leader, Cassie usually prefers to lead small strike teams or take the place of a senior strategist or second-in-command.

**Indomitable Will:** Diana speculates that she inherited her sheer willpower from Zeus and believes Cassie may be just as stubborn as she is.

### **Equipment:**

**Bracelets of Submission:** Modeled after the shackles the Amazons were once enslaved with. The gauntlets were forged from a mythical metal alloy known as Admant and were crafted for her use by Hephaestus at the request of both her sister Diana and their father Zeus. Cassie's superhuman reflexes enable her to use the gauntlets to easily deflect projectiles (such as bullets), physical attacks, weapons, and powerful energy blasts, much like Diana. When crossed, the gauntlets generate an echo of the Aegis itself, forming an impenetrable barrier just in front of them which allows Cassie to protect herself and those behind her from area attacks. They are also capable of channeling Zeus' holy lightning when struck together.

**Harpe Sword:** The harpe sword made of a flint of adamantine that was the weapon used by Cronus to castrate and depose his father, Uranus. Zeus once famously bequeathed his own son Perseus such a sword, and then passed it on to his daughter, Cassie. A sword forged by The Cyclops which is said to be sharp enough to cut the electrons from an atom.

**Lasso of Lightning:** Created by her father, Zeus, the Lasso of Lightning is similarly indestructible as the Lasso of Truth or the Lasso of Persuasion but possesses different properties from that of Diana or Donna's lassos. Upon the command of its wielder, Cassandra Sandsmark, the lasso can generate an electrical field of energy stemming directly from the lighting of Zeus, which can be used to injure opponents. This lasso cannot force its targets to tell the truth, but it can force them to experience intense rage. The force of power is based directly on Cassandra's current level of anger.

**Themysciran Shield:** Wonder Girl's amazon shield, which she uses to protect herself from other weapons and energy blasts (in tandem with her bracelets). Much like her bracelets, it is nigh-indestructible.

**Themysciran Whip:** This was Cassie's first lasso which has no special features it was just invulnerable and impossible to destroy or break. It's an Amazonian whip made out of shredded Nemean lion hairs from Themyscira. Just like the other Lassos, she is able to ensure others and use to it whip enemies.

### **Weaknesses**

**Rage:** Ares has noted that Cassandra has "his rage" and one more than one occasion she has been tricked into flying into a fury and being lured into a trap or into abandoning her teammates.

**Magic:** Just like Diana, the only thing that can hurt her is the magic of the deities.

**Vulnerability to Adamant:** As the daughter of Zeus, Cassie shares his weakness to weapons made of Adamant. Injuries caused by such weapons inflict painful wounds upon the divine, causing damage which heals at a much slower rate.

## **Trivia**

* She is likely marginally related to Donna (not counting the adoptive element of them sharing a sister) because I am sure that Donna's lineage has several injections of Zeus in it (he seduced every other queen or princess in Greek mythology).
* Cassie Sandsmark is obsessed with social media. She has multiple accounts for her multiple identities and enjoys taking selfies with the unconscious and/or restrained criminals she encounters.
* A true cinephile, Cassie can quote hundreds of lines from dozens of movies at the drop of a hat.
* Cassie is a frequent sight on a number of first-person shooter leaderboards under the screen name 'Drusilla96'. Apparently, she is quite the trash-talker, too.
* Cassie is really good at math, though she despises 'showing her work' and as a result, often neglected her homework and had atrocious math grades.
* Cassie is a heavy sleeper and by no means a morning person. She has been known to not only break alarm clocks, but also the nightstand they were resting on and even the floor below it.
* Cassie has a bad temper and has been known to throw things when upset. Thankfully, as she can throw cars and shipping containers, it's rare for her to do this with friends, family, and teammate arguments.
* Cassie doesn't leave the house without applying her favorite lip gloss.
* Cassie loves to chew on ice cubes but absolutely cannot stand to drink plain water.
* Cassie thinks that babies are totally adorable. She has been known to become distracted if a baby is around her or break into quiet giggle fits if one makes eye contact with her.
* Recently, Cassie decided to try her hand at bar tending, as a hobby. She thinks she is like Tom Cruise in Cocktail, but in reality, she not only gets the drinks all wrong but she also breaks more bottles than she serves with her attempted tricks. None of her friends have had the nerve to tell her to stop and their beating around the bush on the matter only gets them scary glares from the demigoddess.
* She and Tim Drake lost their virginity to each other.
* Cassandra is studying Ancient History and Archaeology at Ivy University.
* She's dating Conner Kent
