<span style="color:#009999">'''Timeline:'''</span>
<br>* 1994 - Zatanna Zatara, the Princess of Prestidigitation, is born to Giovanni "John" Zatara and Sindella, a homo magi member of Muhruuk race. Realizing her newborn daughter's latent powers, Sindella fakes her death to cloak her child's presence from the corrupting influence of Dormammu. <br>* 2004 - After years of being raised by her father in the shadow of the stage, ten-year-old Zee is introduced to the world as Giovanni's new stage assistant. She would spend the next eight years touring with her father, training in both the arts of real magic and illusion/sleight of hand magic and how to mask the two. <br>* 2012 - Giovanni attempts to assist the newly formed Justice League of America during the Alien Alliance and in a battle with Allura, vanished. Zatanna is left orphaned just shy of her 18th birthday. <br>* 2014 - After two years of fruitless searching for her father, Zatanna turns her attention to the stage and carrying on her father's legacy. The Mistress of Magic does a world tour that is highly successful and draws the attention of Las Vegas. <br>* 2017 - Zatanna's stage and magic show starts a three-year residency at the MGM Grand. <br>* 2020 - A new lead in the search for her father causes Zatanna to bring her residency to a close and brings her back to Shadowcrest in Gotham to look into this new information.

|Personality=
 +
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Aloof:'''</span>
 +
<br>Despite all of her extroverted behavior, however, Zatanna doesn't let anyone get too close. She's scared to lose anyone else (like she lost her father and the mother she never even had the chance to know).<br><br>
 +
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Ambivert:'''</span>
 +
<br>It goes hand-in-hand with the loneliness and being aloof as well as her career. Zatanna is brilliant at playing the extrovert. She can be the life of the party, she can bask in the attention (she'd be a bad stage magician if she couldn't). She socializes like a pro. However, she absolutely savors her downtime as well and can be just as happy at home, alone, with a cup of tea and a good book. In fact, there are times after a big show that she needs this downtime.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Daddy's Little Magician:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Daddy's Little Magician:'''</span>
<br>Having never had her mother in her life, Zatanna's life revolved around her father. He taught her all she knows about stage presence and magic, and his disappearance hit her hard.<br><br>
+
<br>Having never had her mother in her life, Zatanna's life revolved around her father. He taught her all she knows about stage presence and magic, and his disappearance has weighed heavily on her.<br><br>
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Distant:'''</span>
+
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Driven:'''</span>
<br>Despite all of her extroverted behavior, however, Zatanna doesn't let anyone get too close. She's scared to get close to someone to have them disappear on her, as her father and mother did.<br><br>
+
<br>Call it tenacity, call it obsessive: Zatanna has a drive to know anything and everything. However, it is a thirst not just for knowledge, but also for wisdom. She is very thorough and very careful in whatever she applies herself to: be it a new skill, a new routine, or even a new lead on finding her father. This drive has also manifested in being the best out of a desire to do her father proud.<br><br>
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Duality:'''</span>
+
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Lonely:'''</span>
<br>Zatanna is a study in contrasts. While she is an immensely powerful sorceress that is pleased with her power, she's haunted by nightmares of what would or could happen should that power go awry.<br><br>
+
<br>It's a difficult life for a girl who never knew her mother. Oh, Giovanni did what he could to make sure she had female influences growing up, but it also made Zatanna cleave ever closer to her father. But a life (frequently) on the road meant they were two peas in a pod and she rarely had friends her own age and never got the opportunity to settle down roots. With the loss of her father, she often feels adrift and finds it difficult to make connections (see: Aloof).<br><br>
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Extrovert:'''</span>
+
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Responsible:'''</span>
<br>Zatanna likes to be out there. She's the light of the party, a young woman that doesn't mind the attention, is quick with a smile and a compliment. She's always going the extra mile to make sure someone feels welcomed or wanted.
+
<br>Zatanna is a very powerful magician and sorceress. Her full potential is unknown, but she is undoubtedly much more powerful than her father (who was a powerful magician in his own right). To date, the only true limit to Zatanna's power has been that of her imagination. To that end, she has a strong sense of obligation: to herself, to others, and to doing the right thing. She tries to live, work, and operate within means. She tries to keep from imbalancing systems. She understands the ways of the world and the fact that, say, generating 'infinite money' would cause problems elsewhere. Everything in moderation, including moderation.<br><br>
 +
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Self-Doubt:'''</span>
 +
<br>Outwardly, Zatanna projects an air of confidence. She is a capable woman who can do anything she sets her mind to. However, deep down, she is full of uncertainty and self-doubt and it can weigh very heavily upon her soul. There are many times where this does cause her power to falter (though it is rare). Confidence is vital to her power and so she must push through, despite whatever doubt she might harbor.

<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Astral Projection:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Astral Projection:'''</span>
 
<br>Through meditation, Zatanna's consciousness can leave her physical body and travel to other planes of existence. These trips can only last 24 hours before she has to return to her body to 'ground' herself.<br><br>

 +
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Elemental Control:'''</span>
 +
<br>Zatanna has power over the various elements (outside of her logomancy). This includes, but is not limited to: pyrokinesis, cyrokinesis, electrokinesis, hydrokinesis, geokinesis, aerokinesis, photokinesis, and umbrakinesis. While it is most often beneficial for her stage shows, it can and has come in handy when she's been under attack and had to defend herself. She is not as studied and trained in control of the elements (as they are very powerful things in their own right) and use of them is often wild and unpredictable, but she can do it.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Energy Blasts:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Energy Blasts:'''</span>
<br>Zatanna can summon eldritch energy to project as a weapon. These blasts generally cause physical pain more than exerting force. They're generally capable of knocking an average person unconscious.<br><br>

<br>Zatanna can summon eldritch energy to project as a weapon. These blasts generally cause physical pain more than exerting force. On average, they can knock the average person unconscious. The upper end, like most of her magic, is unknown.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Healing:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Healing:'''</span>
<br>Zatanna can provide basic first aid through magic. If someone's guts have been torn open, there's not much she can do for them. If someone has dislocated their shoulder or suffered a nasty gash, she can use magic to pop it back into place or seal the cut.<br><br>

<br>Zatanna can provide basic first aid through magic. If someone's guts have been torn open, there's not much she can do for them. If someone has dislocated their shoulder or suffered a nasty gash, she can use magic to pop it back into place or seal the cut. There have been rare times she has done more with her logomancy (see entry), but that's tapping into that specific field of magic as opposed to healing magic.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Illusions:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Illusions:'''</span>
<br>Zatanna can fool an entire theater audience's worth of people into seeing whatever she wants them to see, hearing whatever she wants them to hear, smelling whatever she wants them to smell, etc. These illusions range in realism based on her concentration, e.g. making someone hear a lion roar behind them vs. making a false Kang speak to his minions.<br><br>

<br>Zatanna can fool an entire theater audience's worth of people into seeing whatever she wants them to see, hearing whatever she wants them to hear, smelling whatever she wants them to smell, etc. These illusions range in realism based on her concentration, e.g. making someone hear a lion roar behind them vs. making a false Kang speak to his minions. Between her father's instructions, time in theater as a magician, and her own practice, illusions come to her almost as easily as breathing. However, they are illusions: she can't make someone blind see something that isn't there. If someone tries to move through an illusory wall, it won't stop them.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Logomancy:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Logomancy:'''</span>
<br>The power of words, both written and spoken, has been Zatanna's birthright for as long as she can remember. She can cast spells by speaking them backward, writing them down in blood, or even using sign language, and in doing so, could exact her will and whim upon the physical world. Given her young age, however, she is still exploring her limitations in that arena, and while her potential is borderline limitless, what she can do with her Logomancy is limited by her relative inexperience.<br><br>

<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Shields:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Shields:'''</span>
<br>Zatanna can use magic to create shields that protect her or others from physical force. Their strength hinges on her concentration. If she was in a fight with the Hulk, he would win, because she'd probably be too scared of a rampaging Hulk to completely concentrate. She can also redirect energy weapons, including magic, back to their wielder or toward another enemy.<br><br>

She can also redirect energy weapons, including magic, back to their wielder or toward another enemy. She can create multiple shields, but again: it is a matter of concentration and reaction time. So while she might have a shield on another individual, adding a second on herself when she's shot at might be outside the realm of possibility.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Summoning:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Summoning:'''</span>
<br>With the use of her magical library, Zatanna can conduct rituals to summon ghosts, demons, and other extradimensional magic entities. Based on the rite, they may be bound in place, forced to answer questions, etc., so long as the integrity of the magical ritual is maintained.<br><br>

<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Telekinesis:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Telekinesis:'''</span>
 
<br>Zatanna can use magic to make objects move according to her will. She can lift another average-sized human being into the air through magic without breaking a sweat. With extreme concentration and preparation, she could do something along the lines of lifting an entire auditorium out of their seats.<br><br>

Line 61: Line 69:
 
<br>Zatanna can use magic to project her thoughts to others around her, or facilitate 'silent' communication between an Avengers-sized group. She is theoretically able to go into others' minds, view memories, and alter them, but just like her transformation powers, the risk level of screwing around with a living thing is so high, and the consequences so unpredictable, with no guarantee of a lasting effect, that she stays away from it.<br><br>

<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Teleportation:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Teleportation:'''</span>
<br>Zatanna can teleport herself rather effortlessly around an area as large as the continental US. She can also open rifts to other dimensions (with the aid of ritual magic) in case anyone ever needs to make a day trip to Hell. Group teleportation taxes her and reduces her scope in proportion to the size of the group. She could take the Avengers to the roof of a building, but not from New York to San Diego.<br><br>

<br>Zatanna can teleport herself with little effort around the world by opening a portal (it is not instantaneous: it is akin to opening a door). She can also open rifts to other dimensions (with the aid of ritual magic) in case anyone ever needs to make a day trip to Hell. Group teleportation taxes her and reduces her scope in proportion to the size of the group. She could take the Avengers to the roof of a building, but not from New York to San Diego.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Transformation:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Transformation:'''</span>
 
<br>Zatanna's favorite trick is turning things into other things, e.g. a bad guy's gun into Lego. Handheld items like weapons, or worn items such as clothing, can be almost effortlessly transformed by her. Larger mass (or vast quantity) would require extreme concentration and possibly the invocation of additional spells to boost her power. Transforming living things is possible, but extremely unpredictable in its results, and so she avoids it as much as she can, except for healing. She can also transform things into simulacra of living things (e.g. turning a bazooka into a bunny rabbit), but these things are only simulacra: she cannot create sentient, let alone sapient, life.

<br>Legerdemain, sleight of hand, tricky fingers, the dramatic flourishes necessary to call attention to one place when the real game is in another. Call it what you will, it is the cornerstone and foundation skill of any capable stage illusionist. There are very few who could match Zatanna in the art of misdirection; despite her young age, it is rare to find someone who can best her when it comes to cutting, shuffling, palming, switching, stealing and ditching and the only ones who do manage to catch her hand tricks tend to be master con artists themselves.<br><br>

<br>Not only is Zatanna the daughter of legendary magician and wizard, Giovanni Zatara, she is also a direct descendant of Leonardo Da Vinci and could trace her bloodline to famous occultist and adventurer Giuseppe Cagliostro, alchemists Nicholas Flamel and Evan Fulcanelli, notorious seer Nostradamus through her paternal side and going so far as to claim ancestry from King Arion of Atlantis. On her maternal side, she is the daughter of Sindella, one of the last in a rare race of mages called the Homo Magi (the Hidden Ones). Her potent magical ancestry comes with great power and potential in wielding it and perhaps do even more.<br><br>

<br>The ancestral home of the Zatara family. A mansion of vast mystical properties, it is not always situated in the same locale for extended periods. Mystical wards protect the mansion from unwanted trespassers, and other incantations are used to render it invisible to those untrained in the mystic arts. Recently, Shadowcrest has been appearing in the Gotham County region just outside Gotham City. While once the home of mage Giovanni Zatara, it has since been passed down to his daughter Zatanna. Zatanna maintains an extensive occult library inside the mansion and the house is staffed with faux servants created through magic. Another security feature at Shadowcrest is its voice recognition security system, a complex spell that serves as a "magic word" for gaining access to the front foyer.<br><br>

Zatanna has carried this over into having amassed her little fortune, from both her residency in Las Vegas, but also from her various videoes and vines she does. She loves her Tik Tok.

<br>Zatanna cannot grant a wish. If you ask her for money, she can give you a five out of her wallet, but if you want a million dollars, it has to come from /somewhere/. And much like wishing on a monkey's paw, it can come with unwanted consequence.<br><br>

<br> For Zatanna to use any of her transformation spells, she has to have material to work with. She cannot summon from anything. A bullet can be turned into a butterfly, but Zatanna cannot make a butterfly out of nothing.<br><br>

<br>The sins of the father have been passed onto her; in both his stage and heroic career, Giovanni has amassed almost as many enemies as much as friends. Powerful demons, sorcerors, and even disgruntled puppeteers have wanted a piece of him forever, and they all know how much of a weak point Zatanna is to him.<br><br>

<br>Zatanna grew up with magic and has been around it her entire life. While she understands the risks and dangers, she also treats magic like it was a smartphone or an Alexa sometimes. This is a risky proposition because any spell carries with it the risk of unforeseen consequences, especially spells cast carelessly or out of convenience.<br><br>

<br>Its existence is presently unknown to Zatanna, given the fact that she currently has no idea that she carries the blood of the Homo Magi in her veins, there is a part of her brain that emits a unique kind of energy that enables other Homo Magi to sustain their powers and they feed off of it. She's would be a very tasty snack if found out.<br><br>

<br>Zatanna casts her spells by saying the words of her incantations backward. Mnemonic incantation is the most complicated of the mystic arts. She must be able to speak or read backward in order for her to focus her spells.<br><br>

<br>Zatanna has a crippling fear of puppets. This is not a joke. Unbeknownst to her, it came from a childhood trauma locked away from her conscious mind by her father, who didn't want her to remember the incident that caused it.<br><br>

<br>Zatanna's magic is only as strong as she is resolute in willing it into happening. If she's made to doubt herself or unable to concentrate, her effectiveness can be curtailed, sometimes severely.
