Cassie Sandsmarkβs Characterization as per her Creator.
Cassie is a character who I think deserves a post like this, but as I look at my research and panels I realize that itβs harder to make a post about her than I realize.
Because where as Tim was introduced in a very straight forward manner showing his origin, motivation, personality, and consistent look very quickly, and Bart was pretty much automatically given a solo right after his introduction.
For the 90s Wonder Girl she doesnβt have a straight forward originβand it hasnβt even been consistent Iβve realized. Her motivation is just to be a hero, because she thinks itβs awesome, and whatβs right to do. Which isnβt so complicated to explain. She looks up to Wonder Woman and wants to be like her.
Not to say this makes her a poor character. In a way itβs kind of refreshing from the big grief related stuff, or just to do stuff because they have the abilities to. Because Cassie actually didnβt have the abilities at firstβ
How she got her powers was talking directly to Zeus when she wasnβt exactly permitted. Thatβs the main thing to know. And her origin was later retconned to be that she was Zeusβs daughter/granddaughter depending on the continuity. Originally, that wasnβt the case though, I must say.
Her creator is one personβthe writer is also the artist. So her look is consistent. A teenage girl, with boyish features, short blonde hair, and an affinity for baggy T-Shorts.
So for Cassie, she was mostly built up on her personality and unique look more than anything else. So Iβll be going through that and her interests! As well as explaining aspects of her personal life at a VEEERY quick pace.
But itβll be worth it to go for to learn more about the best (to meeeeeee) Wonder Girl! And sorry that there wasnβt really a way to make a more detailed post. Sheβs a victim of circumstance of her own introduction.
I think having her origin play out pretty much after sheβs introduced is a fun diversion from the norm. And hopefully you do too.
