i love the headcannon that both tim and cass look scarily alike, to the point they could be twins.
like they both share the same general lithe build, they’re the same short height, cass has a short bob while tim has his baby mullet, their training is similar due to their backgrounds with lady shiva and the loa, and (depending on your headcanon) both waisan- so i can definitely see instances where they’re confused for each other or where they mess with everyone around them.
cass on patrol in red robin gear so tim can go on a date with bernard:
random thugs seconds away from being one hit k.o’d: yo since when did red robin start melting into the shadows like an eldritch horror?
jason: hey tim -
cass: wrong.
jason: no, im pretty sure you’re tim, i gave you that scar right there in your neck
cass: nu-uh, this is from cain
jason:
cass:
jason: well this got awkward…
steph hugging tim from behind: hey babe
tim: wrong wayne
steph: ew, i should’ve known, your ass isnt nearly as —
tim walking away with his fingers in his ears: lalalalala im not listening to you
damian: i think you’re the only one in this family i respect
tim who has been silently hanging out with him for the past 3 hours: aw thanks damian, i’ve come to love you like a brother too
damian: drake? i thought you were cassandra, my apologies, i retract my previous statement
tim: don’t care, you love me, don’t try to deny it
lady shiva hugging both tim and cass: my beautiful twins, such well trained weapons, unfortunate that you both ended up with cain
bruce pulling his children back: tim isnt yours…
shiva: well that cant be right, he’s s the spitting image of my sister carolyn, and that birth was far too painful to only produce one small child
tim: woah full circle, my drag-sona is called caroline, maybe you are my mom, i wouldn’t put it past janet drake to adopt
bruce: tim no, you’re not even the same type of asian
cass: too late, we’re blood
shiva: see!
Cass' introduction to Gotham's elite causes a scandal because clearly Jack and Janet have been hiding their daughter away due to her speech impediment- how kind of Bruce to take her in and get her some proper help.
Tim fuels the fire when people realise that his parents often left him alone in the manor for months while they were on digs - clearly, they're criminally negligent! He is furiously protective of Cass when the press tries to hound her at her first official gala since the speculations started. His dad is still in a coma at this point, and it's common knowledge that Brucie has taken him under his wing. "That dear boy finally has some meat on his cheeks!" "Why, I don't think I've ever seen a genuine smile from him before - look at how he interacts with those other children!"
Cass plays into being meek and shy, hiding behind her 'twin' and clutching his hand the whole night. They coordinated outfits and even styled their hair similar.
Jack is very confused when he finally wakes up. He thinks the trauma made him forget an entire child, which isn't difficult due to how little he has been around Tim. A little bit of Photoshop and forgery from Babs, and even he's convinced he's had a daughter this whole time. The doctors say that his memory may never return fully, but he still hopes. She reminds him so much of Janet.
'Cassandra Drake' was born 19 minutes before Timothy and will never stop calling him 'baby brother'.
