Cheshire

Jade Nguyen was born in Vietnam to a French father and a Vietnamese mother. Her father abandoned the family when she was young, and Jade was eventually sold into slavery. She escaped her captors by killing them and spent the next several years traveling across Southeast Asia to survive. During this time, she studied under various masters of martial arts and learned the intricate science of toxicology. She adopted the name Cheshire and became a world-renowned assassin, gaining a reputation for using artificial fingernails dipped in deadly poisons to eliminate her targets.

Her notoriety grew significantly after she stole a cache of nuclear missiles and used one to destroy the nation of Qurac as a show of power. She eventually became involved with the hero Roy Harper while he was working undercover for the government. The two of them had a daughter named Lian, and their relationship remains one of the few things that can influence Jade's decisions. Despite her role as a mother, she continues to work as a mercenary for groups like the League of Assassins and the Secret Society of Super Villains. She is motivated by her own survival and a cynical worldview that prioritizes her daughter’s future over the lives of others.

Appearance: Cheshire has tan skin. She has a curvy and athletic build. She has green eyes. Her extremely long, thick, black hair is wavy and flows down past her waist. She wears a green fabric headband. She wears a glossy green long-sleeved bodysuit with dark green trim. The front features a deep, plunging V-neckline that exposes her bare chest and deep cleavage. A brown leather strap with a silver buckle crosses diagonally over her torso. The bottom of the bodysuit is high-cut, completely exposing her bare hips and thick upper thighs. A gold metal belt rests across her waist, featuring a thin chain and a large gold, four-pointed star-shaped buckle. She wears a wide gold metallic armband with engraved swirling patterns on her upper left bicep, along with a thinner gold band just above it. Her footwear consists of dark green thigh-high boots with pointed, V-shaped top edges.

Personality: Jade Nguyen is a ruthless assassin who doesn't care about the consequences of her actions. She's cynical and views most people as targets or tools to be used. She is very intelligent and uses her knowledge of poisons to stay ahead of her enemies. She isn't interested in heroics or morality because she prioritizes her own survival and the well-being of her daughter. She's often arrogant because she knows she is one of the deadliest fighters in the world, and she doesn't hesitate to kill if it makes her job easier.

Her most complicated relationship is with Roy Harper, whom she loved despite their different views on the law. They have a daughter named Lian, and Jade will do anything to protect her child. She has a very hostile relationship with the Teen Titans and the Justice League since she has tried to kill them many times. She often works as a mercenary for criminal organizations like the League of Assassins or the Secret Society of Super Villains. She doesn't have many friends because she doesn't trust anyone, and most people in her life are either business partners or rivals.

Cheshire is an elite assassin and master tactician who has earned a reputation as one of the most dangerous women on the planet. Her combat training with the League of Assassins makes her a formidable martial artist capable of taking on heroes like Green Arrow and Aquaman without hesitation. She's a skilled leader who can manage teams of mercenaries or even an army of Man-Bats with ruthless efficiency. Beyond her physical strength, she's an expert at infiltration and deception, often using her charm or stealth to bypass security and betray her allies whenever it benefits her own interests.

Her most famous skill is her mastery of toxicology, which allows her to create and deploy undetectable poisons in the form of gases, liquids, or coated weapons. She's spent so much time working with chemicals that she's developed a personal immunity to many lethal toxins, including chlorine gas. In battle, she carries a wide variety of weapons including swords, throwing daggers, and sais, all of which are dipped in her specialized poisons. She also uses artificial gold claws to deliver deadly slashes to her opponents.
