Emiko Lacroix

## Background

### 2003 - 2016: Emiko Lacroix

Emiko Lacroix is the daughter of two master assassins, Mei Gulong (aka Shado) & Simon Lacroix (aka Komodo). She was the only child of the married couple, seen as a miracle due to her mother's fertility issue. As both had pledged loyalty to the League of Shadows, Emiko was bound to do the same.

Because her life itself was seen as a blessing to her parents, they tried to limit her time in combat. As her mother was in service to the al Ghul daughters (Talia & Nyssa), Emiko was frequently in the company of her father. For years, she was trained under her father as he felt it would be better so she can defend herself then not & end up killed. In time, Simon was able to convince his wife to let Emiko accompany on missions in name of the Shadows.

After almost a lifetime of training with the Shadows, Emiko first saw combat (accidentally) when she came to her father's aid during his fight with Green Arrow, managing to stick two arrows in him. When they returned to the compound, word had already reached Ra's about her capabilities. No longer wishing to shy the girl from combat, he gave her first real mission aka her trial by fire.

Upon completion, Emiko was given the name "Talibah" (which translates from Arabic as "seeker of knowledge", or "student") due to her desire to continue learning more combat tactics & spiritual alignment.
