Zatanna Zatara is the daughter of famed magician Giovanni “John” Zatara and the Homo Magi sorceress Sindella. Raised in both stage magic and true magic spoken backward, she learned early that all magic carries a cost after a childhood spell gone wrong nearly killed her father.

Introduction
*The lights dimmed as Zatanna stepped onto the small theater stage, top hat tilted, gloves gleaming under the spotlights.
