Hello, are there any Cassandra Cain fans/stans that could help me out with her characterization? Iāve just started to get into writing fanfiction (I havenāt posted any, and am working towards getting more confident with writing the characters in general so hopefully Iāll post some someday) and I havenāt been in the fandom long. Cass is a confusing character for me to write, mostly because I feel like sheās written differently in everything sheās in. And her personality absolutely got erased and overhauled in the New52. Iāve read some of her Batgirl run (it was awhile ago ngl) and I read the storyline where she was introduced in the New52 and the Rise and the Fall of the Batmen (I think thatās the arc sheās involved in with Detective Comics). Idk, more under cut.
My goal in writing Cass is to make her seem like a real person and Iām drawing more on pre-New52 than post-New52. I feel like she used to have so much more to her than just being like a perfect person and the sweetest person in general. Not that she canāt be sweet (I love cinnamon bun Cass too), but she used to have much more grit to her personality it seems like. Iām blending the two personalities, and Iād really like to focus on her love for dance, itās one of the changes I really liked, and of course her connections to her siblings because I love sibling dynamics. Currently Iām working on a fic where she ends up dancing with each of her siblings. I like the idea of writing her as a bit snarky or sassy (the kind of person that just stares at you with the āreallyā expression when you do something dumb), more introverted, a bit of a little shit, self deprecating, but genuinely kind hearted, driven, and a perfectionist. I also donāt want to write her as being a magic character that instantly knows whatās wrong with a character. Yeah, she can read body language, but her family is good at hiding things, theyāve been trained recognizing body language and Iām guessing some of them have worked to have good control over their own. My interpretation is she can tell what people are feeling but not why, and how theyāre going to move. Iāve written a little bit of the fic so far (um please donāt feel obligated to read through it, any comments on how you think Cass should be written is helpful) so Iāll post it below. Thanks for reading this far if you made it XD.
I donāt have a title for this lmao but the fic starts here:
āHey.ā Dick gently placed a hand on her shoulder as he hopped down from his spot on the water tower. āYou know whoās my most favorite, strongest, most beautiful, spectacular-ā
Cass groaned; he was making the face. He was wearing his Nightwing mask, but as she turned to look, she could already tell he was making the face. Dick ignored her groans and continued ā-most perfect, amazing, gorgeous, sweetest, nicest, kindhearted, thoughtful-ā
Cass pulled away; she would not be doing what he asked. Nope. The last time she heard Dick talking like this, Barbara ended up agreeing to dog sit for Titus. The dog chewed everything in the clocktower; they were still finding ripped up socks in various locations. āHeās so well behavedā he said. āIt wonāt be for that longā he said. āYouāre the best thank you so, so muchā he said. On the bright side, Dick had bought her new ballet shoes to replace the ones Titus tore through. But theyād taken weeks to break in and-oh he was still talking.
ā-smartest, wisest, funniest, loveliest, badass, awesomest, funnest-ā Cass placed her hands on her hips and stood up to meet him. The stakeout had been going fine on her own, at this rate she probably didnāt need his backup anyways, so if this was something stupid, she could always tell him to leave. She gave him her best ābat-glareā as he continued to mumble on compliments. āfantastic, reliable, trustworthy-ā his voice grew smaller as she continued glaring. He cleared his throat āsister of all time?ā He finished.
Cass sighed and leaned back against the towerās support. āWhat do you want?ā Dick gave her a weak smile, embarrassment radiated off him. That couldnāt be good.
āLook, Iāll cut to the chase.ā Thank heavens for that. āBut like, just know I love you so much.ā Cass wished she could stick her tongue out, maybe the domino mask was the way to go. She settled for lightly shoving his shoulder. He grinned at her, doing his best to seem casual, but slight tension in his neck gave away his discomfort. Dick was always hard for her to read, he was a performer from birth, and had excellent control of his posture and facial expressions. He gave himself away in movement, in the lack thereof. He could paint the perfect mask, but it slipped slightly when he moved. He was nervous, anxious, exasperated, and worried. Cass was intrigued.
āWhat is it?ā She said, more gently than before, turning back to watch her mark. She could hear Dick let out a deep breath.
āItās Da-Robin. He got invited to a formal.ā Cass turned back and cocked her head. āDonāt give me that look, you know how he is.ā He said, shifting his weight. āItās a school event, so theyāve been learning ballroom dance in gym. But I got a call the other day from the gym teacher saying heās not participating.ā
āWhy should he?ā Cass asked. āYou shouldnāt force people to do things they donāt want to do.ā Living with the family long enough had taught her that. If the kid didnāt want to dance, he shouldnāt have to.
āYeah, I know.ā Dick replied a bit flatly. He moved to crouch where she had been sitting and focused on the building across the street. āBut I donāt know if he doesnāt want to, or if heās just embarrassed.ā Cass thought for a moment. āI donāt suppose he grew up with many dance lessons.ā He added a bit apologetically. She shook her head.
āHave you talked to him?ā She asked. Dick sighed.
āI tried. But he kept switching topics and when I pressed it, he locked himself in his room. Which is why Iām concerned.ā Cass hummed in affirmation. It made sense.
āWhy havenāt you tried teaching him?ā Dick wasnāt a bad dancer, and heād always performed quite well at the galas.
He looked back at her sheepishly. āI gave it a go last time I was at the manor. But he stormed off before we could get anything done. Something about me being an embarrassment to the family.ā
Cass rolled her eyes under the cowl. āWhat did you do?ā
āI just wanted to do some jazzercising to warm up, whatās wrong with that?ā Dick spluttered in response. Cass lightly smacked the back of his head. āSo anyways, I lost my chance at it. I canāt even play music without him running away.ā He continued, ducking away as she tried to tap him again. āBesides, youāre probably a better height to practice with for him.ā She scoffed in response.
āWhenās the gala?ā She asked. It slipped out without her permission. She wasnāt getting involved. The kid could figure it out on his own. Couldnāt he?
āItās next weekend.ā He replied and sighed. āI donāt want him to miss it. He never does stuff thatās age appropriate.ā Oh, no. Not that card. Cass would not be involved, she had work to do. She stepped back to lean against the tower again and bit her lip. āAnd some girl in his class asked him to go. Her nameās Maps and sheās a really good influence on him.ā She crossed her arms tighter. Damian was rude to her. He called her Cain. Not. Getting. Involved. āSheās so energetic, it helps him loosen up-ā Damnit.
āFine.ā Dick whipped around to look at her, not bothering to hide his disbelief. She squirmed internally. It wasnāt that she didnāt care about the kid. It was just easier to spend time on her own. The kid was better off without her influence anyways.
āAre you sure, I could ask Steph or I donāt know-ā He continued.
She cut him off. āIāll do it. I donāt mind.ā The others wouldnāt work. Dick knew that going into the conversation. They were tooā¦loud in their judgement. Steph would laugh at the wrong time, Tim would say the wrong thing, Jason didnāt have the patience for the kidās temper, and Duke would be a safe bet, but was away on Outsider business for the next two weeks.
Dick practically melted in relief. āThank you so-ā
āYou owe me, big brother.ā Cass reminded.
āAnything you want, little sister.ā He promised. āAre hugs acceptable as a down payment? I could kiss you right now.ā
āEww.ā Cass made a face under the mask but strode forward as he opened his arms and stood for a hug. He eagerly wrapped her in a bear hug. She couldnāt help but laugh.
āYouāre winning sister of the year award.ā He said as he released her.
āYouāre making me cookies.ā She retorted. Dick grimaced.
āCan I buy them?ā He asked hesitantly. She shook her head.
āHomemade, with love. And Iām watching.ā She added, smirking under the mask. Dick sunk back down into position.
āIāll do my best.ā He promised. Cass snickered. The last time Dick tried making cookies, he apparently caught his oven mitts on fire. There was still a bit of cookie dough on the ceiling he hadnāt noticed yet.
A flash of movement jolted her back into reality, their mark was making his move. She shot her grapple, and Dick quickly followed suit. āIāll text you the plan tomorrow.ā He promised as they leapt into the night.
Thanks so much if you read this far, and please comment or send me feedback directly if you have the time and donāt mind. Iām sorry if you completely disagree with how I characterized her (or Dick/Damian for that matter) Iām mostly relying on Damianās canon interactions with her and Dickās half canon half fanon personality (I know they donāt get on great in the comics...but sibling dynamics) and the rest of this portion of the fic would focus on Damian earning more respect for her (and learning to call her Cass - not Cain).
#i don't know how i feel about posting this#this is the first time i've posted some of my writing#and it isn't betad or anything#please help me#i don't know what i'm doing#i don't even have an AO3 account cuz i'm such a noob#it's gonna take time#a whole lot of precious time#but someday i will hopefully post a fic or two#if i ever finish one of them...#cassandra cain#batgirls#batfam#batman#dc#black bat#orphan
