Backstory= Jason was living on the streets when Batman found him as a kid. Jason was stealing the Batmobile's tires to sell, and Bruce eventually took him in as the second Robin. His time as Robin was more brief than Dick's, ending when Joker killed him. Now he operates as Red Hood, willing to use lethal force if needed to take out serious monsters.

Features= Shoulder-length black hair. Brown eyes. Button nose. Somewhat pale skin from not getting enough sunlight. As Cassandra she wears clothes like jeans or sweatpants, t-shirts or tanktops, jackets and boots or sneakers for footwear. Cassandra has an athletic build made for speed and stealth over brute force. She has some scars on her limbs and torso from David Cain's training, even a few from him shooting her. Her Batgirl suit is an all-black bodysuit with black gloves and boots with a black cape. On her chest is a black bat outlined in yellow, and she has a yellow utility belt. Her mask fully covers her head/face and has long, pointy bat ears and stitching across the nose area.
