independent portrayal of cassandra cain / orphan / black bat / batgirl

“I don’t need words to be heard.”

about — this is an independent, selective & low-activity Cassandra Cain (DC Comics) roleplay blog. I write Cass across multiple continuities, with a focus on her canon characterization: a girl raised as an assassin, learning to be a hero, speaking mostly in body language rather than words

🦇 . mun — wraith. she / they. 24. gmt +3. i am extremely slow with replies so have patience.

🦇 . shipping — mun and character should be 18+ ( Cass is 19 ). multi-ship. chemistry-based. she is biromantic / asexual .

🦇 . content — threads, memes, asks, crossovers, OCs, and duplicates are a welcome. triggers will be tagged. I write mostly in third person. semi-literate.

🦇 . rules — no godmodding or metagaming. no pregnancy plotlines ever. no batcest. no nsfw. hard block me if you’d rather not want me to interact with your blog, there will be no hard feelings.

🦇 . dni list: racists, zionists, misogynists, homophobics, transphobics, antisemitismics, nazis, magas, trump supporters, people who only ship cis characters, etc.

🦇 . extra — dms open for plotting. i have the right to simply ignore asks that make me uncomfortable. external notifs are off. i will never ever ever be offended if you drop a thread. (But if it happens too frequently i’ll interact with you less!)

cass probs has depersonalization. and as a legit survival machanism. all her life her body was never hers, just trained to fight and obey and move and kill if needed. so of course her brain learned this hack where she just… watches herself from the outside sometimes. it’s not weakness, it’s armor to her. it explains the monotone, the clipped words, and the ability to stay calm in high pressure. it’s like her brain’s way of going “ok i’m gonna protect you from feeling this or breaking”

ofcourse, she’s now got people around her who care for her, who fight with her and not against her, so slowly she can reclaim her own body as… human. and not just a weapon. still she does slip into that habit of stepping outside of herself when things get way too much again

"Cass right?" Nika smiled gently eating a snickers bar she's stroking Alfred the cat gently

Cassandra didn’t supply her with a confirmation. Her eyes briefly flickered to the cat - Damian’s cat - before it settled on the young girl. She crossed her arms and asked, “and you are?”

[yagot-flatlined]

"Nika I'm Damian's betrothed ...the gal who got him into manga" she smiled happily at the memory

[orphaninblack]

She blinked, staring for a beat. Damian? Engaged? Cassandra was used to being out of the loop, but this was a whole new level. “… When?”

[yagot-flatlined]

The girl nodded before humming to herself "hmmm during the whole island fiasco ...I love him to pieces " Nika smiled at Alfred scratching the kitty's ears "I'm a meta by the way "

[orphaninblack]

“That’s…” She started, slightly confusion by the meta comment. “I don’t have an issue with what you are.”

“This is… news to me.” Her voice was careful. “I’m… happy for you. Both.” The words were sincere, though they landed with her usual awkward bluntness.

[yagot-flatlined]

"thank you" Nika smiled making space for Cassandra to join her and kitty Alfred... "I love you're costume I'll be honest " the russian girl grinned

[orphaninblack]

Cassandra nods in lieu of a; you’re welcome. She took the invitation as intended and sat beside Nika. “I suppose this means you’re my… sister-in-law.”

Her hand drifted to pet Alfred between the ears. “Me too.” She replied, a nod and a barely there smile. “Especially the cape. Very dramatic. Very mysterious.”

[yagot-flatlined]

The kitty just meowed at the attention lapping it up as she smiled at the cat "do you enjoy manga or animated stuff?" She's curious

[orphaninblack]

Cassandra relished in the feline’s meows as she continued petting. “I don’t have time to watch things. Mangas are a new thing. Just gotten into it.” She turned to Nika, “favorites?” Maybe she could get some recommendations out of her.

➔ you're lucky that i know basic first aid , or you'd be dead!

(Chris on his masked vigilante verse with cass)

Cass sat rigid on the edge of the table, the gash across her side open to the room’s cold air. Gloved hand drenched in her own blood, pressed against the nasty wound, trying to keep pressure.

Cass’s eyes flicked up, calm despite the sting. “Would’ve found a way. Dying’s not an option,” she said evenly, facing him. “Thanks for answering my call.” Curt. Direct, but held a touch of warmth.

[mysticaltwoface]

Chris or rather the grey mockingjay spoke up voice changer still activated "well I can't always be there for you so...be careful ok,and keep in mind you're not some female version of the crow,you're not invincible" he said while mending the wound then sighed "you're welcome"

[orphaninblack]

“I know, I’m not invincible.” She looked at him steadily, the faintest trace of a smile flicking at the corner of her mouth. Then faded, the stoic mask returning. “I’m usually careful. Deathstroke… he got me good this time.” She could still feel the mercenary’s blade slicing through her flank, tearing the flesh there. Yes, she certainly was lucky Mockingjay happened to have been around.

As Chris tended to her wound, her jaw clenched, teeth grinding. And once he finished, she let out a small breath, her hand tentatively touching the new bandage. She tested her limits, raising the arm of her injured side, rotating her shoulder, wincing with every move. It hurt so much. She was close to tearing it again. Cass, though, seemed uncaring. Utterly determined to get back in action. She rose to her feet, slightly unsteady, and faced Mockingjay. “I’m going back out there.”

[mysticaltwoface]

"like hell you're not" he sat her back down and even with the voice changer on cass could sense his frustration "I *just* got you patched up and you want to get the stitches open again?! Not on my watch"

[orphaninblack]

Cassandra sat upright, eyes narrowing at Chris. “He’s going to kill tonight.” Her voice carried cold finality. “I have to reach the target before Deathstroke does.” Her gaze burned with fierce intensity. Stitches or no, she wasn’t backing down.

[orphaninblack]

ok no more changing the pfp. i’m satisfied

nods

" Now, now let me get to the punchline ! " A small smirk formed on the Joker's lips. "You can't just cut off a joke without hearing the punchline." He then laughed a little while moving his head to the side a bit.

[orphaninblack]

Having cut off his ramble before it spiraled further, Batgirl planted herself firmly. The cowl hid her visible annoyance, but it seeped through her tone slightly. “Hostages, Joker,” she repeated, sharp and measured.

The only hint of urgency was the subtle lean, the shift from heels to toes. Coiled, ready to spring. Arms loose at her sides, she seemed relaxed to the untrained eye. Cassandra stared daggers at the clown a few feet away. “Where?”
