Listen, I get it came at a bad time for Cass, but I think there's a lot to like in it.

The Rose/Cass bonding, everything with Marque, the fact that the comic redefines how important Oracle is.

ANON YOUR MIND you sent this 5 days ago little did we know what would happen in the recent issue 😭😭 (though that was a brother not a sister. Still you lowkey called it with the Mei / Tenji parallels we'll probably get soon). So not a strange question at all, you were really keyed into what Brombal was doing!!!

I also have a brother and a sister and I agree it can be different!! For Cass, I think part of why she got on so well with Stephanie (but also a source of their conflict) was that she was really exploring her gender in that period, and saw Stephanie as someone who could both understand her AND as act as a kind of idealised womanhood. With a sister close in age, I can see Cass doing this sort of comparison as well - like comparing how her sister presents herself, her sister's romantic experiences, her sister's comfort in her gender/sexuality etc. This could indeed be super interesting!

Idk if you're aware but Cass does indeed have a sister, multiple even, but Marque from Batgirl (2008) is who I'm thinking about! I actually think it's interesting that Tenji is a brother from Shiva (or Carolyn's maybe) side, and Marque is a sister from David's! Although she has a bro from David's side too, there is something about David's upbringing with Cass that leans into the way he perceived her femininity (see pink dress, calling her his 'little girl'). Like I think it's significant that Marque is a woman, and it informs the way she and Cass were treated by + perceive their treatment at the hands of David. This David/Marque + Shiva/Tenji dichotomy is actually DELICIOUS now that I'm thinking about it.
