Rey Al Ghul

## *History*

### ***Origin***

*Rey is the first-born daughter of Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul. She is a few years older than her brother, Damian Wayne. Talia and Bruce met during one of his parties at Wayne Enterprises. The two shared a few glasses of wine and a lengthy conversation. Unfortunately, Bruce left before Talia could make a move on him, much to her annoyance, though she did start to develop feelings for him, just like Bruce did for her.*

*The next day, Talia received orders to kill a select few of people: past members of the League. Ra's viewed them as obstacles in his way after they threatened to expose the League's location.*

*Talia traveled back to the League's base in 'Eth Alth'eban under her father's orders and continued to train the League of Assassins for the next few months, without contacting Bruce. Around this time, a legend began to spread about a feared vigilante in Gotham.*

*While the Batman grew in prominence, Ra's worried about him and the danger he posed to the League. A year before finding Tim Drake, Batman encountered Ra's Al Ghul and the League of Assassins. Their fight came to an end when Talia revealed herself to Batman, addressing him by his real name. He didn't expect anything less from the League. The two left to talk about their identities, and around this time, Talia managed to seduce Bruce into what he thought was true love. In reality, this was an attempt to merge the Wayne and Al Ghul bloodlines, resulting in the conception of Rey Al Ghul, an heir for the League of Assassins. Talia left Gotham City a few weeks after, having accomplished her goal, but still in love with Bruce.*

### ***The Demon's Heirs***

*A few years later, Talia traveled back to Gotham. Her daughter, Rey, spent her days' training with Ra's, though mostly meditation. They thought that introducing her directly into the combat area would turn her into a blood-thirsty person. In her dealings with Bruce Wayne, Talia managed to seduce him, yet again, but turned out to be nothing more than an attempt to merge the Wayne and al Ghul bloodlines to produce an heir for the League of Assassins, as an attempt to wed the two had failed.*

*Wanting to speed up the process, Talia placed him in an artificial womb, and a few months later, Damian was born. After he turned 6, he started his official training with the League of Assassins. Rey was a few years more experienced than he was, but he showed great skill for the art and quickly caught up with her. The two enjoyed their time together, whether they were training or just talking. While her brother preferred combat training, Rey found herself more interested in gaining control over her mind, only adding up to her exceedingly high intellect. By the time she was ten, she had mastered thirteen languages and had an encyclopedic knowledge in other matters like science and politics.*

*Though her skills were still impressive, they paled in comparison as Damian progressed, which built up into bottled up anger toward them, and jealousy.*

### ***Torn Asunder***

*As the years passed, Talia got suspicious about her mother and confronted her father on the matter. He revealed that the story he told her about her mother dying upon Talia's birth was a lie, and she spent the next few days trying to find her. After exhausting some of her resources, she finally found her mother, who posed as a fortune-teller. Melisandre performed a reading for her daughter while they talked, and revealed some of her future through the star Algol. Talia was shocked by the fact that, in a way, she had almost destroyed her love for Bruce. Before her kidnapping, Melisandre counseled her daughter to hide her strengths by appearing helpless. She remembered her loving relationship with Bruce.*

*When Rey found out that her mother was taking Damian to Gotham City, she wanted to come with and have a chance to meet her father. She had secretly been hoping to abandon the League and find her place in the world, away from her family's judgment.*

*Rey would later find out that her mother took Damian to Gotham so Batman could train her in ways she couldn't, but she knew that her father would try to get rid of Damian's urges to kill. She didn't understand what made him enjoy killing others, but she wasn't far behind. They trained her to be an assassin, but she knew that not everyone deserved to die. Now with Damian gone, she dedicated her time to become a better fighter than she was before, but no matter what she did, it wasn't enough to meet her grandfather's standards.*

### ***A New Horizon***

*One day during her training, she accidentally lost an eye and started bleeding to death. Her mother found her just in time and rushed her to the Lazarus Pit. She knew from her father that it would be painful to watch, and even more painful for Rey once she emerged, but she couldn't let her daughter die. She blamed herself for Rey's current state, realizing that failing to recognize her skills drove her over the edge. Once she submerged into the water of the Lazarus Pit, almost dead, the pit's properties kicked in and healed her body, restoring her eye.*

*She woke up three days later, only to realize that her left eye was blinded. Talia and Ra's rushed into her room and explained what happened and why they submerged her into the Lazarus Pit.*

*Rey understood what happened, but she still blamed her family for the whole situation. They were as guilty as her, and she told them that she hated them for it. Her behavior changed drastically, becoming sad and cold, but more determined to make the best out of her condition. Within the next few months, she learned how to fight with only half her sight and relied on the rest of her senses to make up for it. She decided to keep certain things to herself, such as her newly-gained mental capacities, allowing her to mimic combat styles.*

*When she was finally offered to be the heir to the League, she rejected the offer and stated that she didn't need them anymore, that the League was doomed to fail, and that she had found a better master. Later that day, Rey left 'Eth Alth'eban and ventured in pursuit of her new sensei.*

#### ***The Jade Dragon***

*Rey arrived in China where she thought she could find her new master, but in an unforeseen turn of events, she found herself captured by her would-be sensei. When she woke up, she felt both excited and afraid of the person in front of her: Lady Shiva. Shiva questioned why she followed her, and Rey revealed her lineage to her, making it clear for Shiva. Rey told her why she left the League of Assassins, and that she looked to become better than she could ever be under their tutelage. Shiva reluctantly accepted and took her in as her new apprentice.*

*Within the first day, she learned to take the hits and never miss a block, making her twice the fighter she was before. Over the next few months, Rey realized why her grandfather spoke so highly of Lady Shiva. She trained Rey to be more than her blindness and taught her to draw her strength from inner peace rather than rage. She wasn't angry at her family anymore. She even discovered new abilities and soon learned to live above her past.*

*Shiva saw a promising student and queried why they failed to acknowledge how talented she was. After learning everything her sensei had to offer, Rey earned the titled "Jade Dragon" in regards to her strength and agility (both mental and physical).*
