Cassandra Cain is a fictional character in the DC Universe, and the most recent Batgirl.
Cassandra is the daughter of assassin David Cain and Lady Shiva.

As a child, Cassandra received intensive training by her father, along with several other members of the League of Assassins. Upon taking the mantle of Batgirl, she was trained further by Batman, Oracle, Black Canary, and then by Lady Shiva, and has received supplementary instruction from Onyx.

She also seems to have developed a resistance to pain. On more than one occasion she has been described as "being able to take a bullet wound and not even bat an eye."

As a side effect of Cain's training, Cassandra's brain developed learning functions different from most. Having been brought up by Cain deliberately without speech, the communication centers of her brain learned body language instead of spoken or written language. Thus, she originally had as much trouble learning spoken and written language as a normal individual would have in learning body language. Although she was able to learn some very basic things ("no," "yes," "me") the same way a normal person can learn to recognize smiles and frowns, it took a telepath rewiring her brain to teach her to speak and understand English. Even then, she only spoke with extreme difficulty (very falteringly, short sentences with long pauses, frequently using the wrong words, etc). The unusual way in which she was raised resulted in a form of dyslexia that hampers her ability to read and write.
