DOCUMENTED HISTORY
(ooc: Powers and history information came from wiki and other online sites)
Human beings evolved into distinct lines back in the early days of man. The majority of humans became homo sapiens, while a divergent line became homo magi, imbued with a sensitivity to magic. It was homo magi that built Atlantis. they were the first dominant society in recorded history, tens of thousands of years ago.
After Atlantis fell from power and sank beneath the sea, the remaining homo magi settled into pocket cities including one near Turkey, where they called themselves the Hidden Ones. Over the centuries, they stayed away from the affairs of homo sapiens and rarely interacted with them.
This changed when Sindella left the city and met John Zatara, a magician turned crime-fighter. She aided him, they fell in love, and had a child Zatanna. Sindella faked her death to return to her people, leaving Zatara to raise Zatanna by himself. this unfortunately led to a curse placed on the infant by an evil being called Allura. Should father and daughter see each other, both would die, according to the curse. Zatara left to search the countless dimensions for help and Zatanna was raised by others.
When she came of age, Zatanna used her magical powers to create her stage magician persona and became an international celebrity, This celebrity status allowed her to contact many super-heroes in her search for her natural father. eventually, the Justice League Of America helped Zatanna confront Allura and rescue her father, snapping the curse.
Later, Zatanna found her mother and learned of her homo magi/homo sapien heritage making her one of a kind in this generation. Happy at last, Zatanna enjoyed her superheroic adventuring and ultimately joined the JLA for awhile. Tragedy followed her throughout her life and included the death of both parents through mystic means. However, each death was a sacrifice to save many, a lesson not lost on Zatanna. Zatanna wears her traditional tux and fishnet hose costume for stage performances, in honor of her father. When going into adventures, though, she often has donned a more conventional "heroic" outfit.
Zatanna is currently a reserve member of the Justice League, aiding them from time to time when her magical expertise is needed. She still performs her stage show regularly and tries to live a somewhat normal, if lavish, lifestyle.
POWERS AND ABILITIES
KNOWN POWERS:
Zatanna is a powerful sorceress whose abilities are apparently genetic. As a tribute to her father and as a focal point, she usually casts spells by speaking verbal commands backwards. She has also proven capable on many occasions of casting spells by speaking normally, and, in rarer occasions, the ability to use magic for simple tasks without speaking. Like Black Canary, Zatanna's reliance on her voice often led to her being bound and gagged by villains in Silver Age stories, thus rendering her 'powerless'. On very rare occasions, Zatanna has cast spells by writing them in her own blood rather than speaking them aloud. It is used as a last resort, only to heal from severe physical damage preventing her to speak, like having her larynx mangled by a bullet, or her mouth magically erased by her own powers. The only magic command issued in both cases, Heal me, had to be spelled backwards, as if she were speaking (laeH em).
Overuse of her magical powers can deplete them to the point that further use of them starts to put a considerable strain on her physical well-being: as with other magical users, the only way to restore her waning powers is an extended period of rest.
Even if not as precisely as Madame Xanadu, Zatanna has proven herself able to call upon tarot reading for insight or divination. Apparently, such a task does not require verbal incantations, spoken or written, at all, nor is it tied to a specific tarot deck.
The limits of her powers have never been clearly established. She is often depicted working alongside the most powerful magic-users on Earth, including Doctor Fate, Madame Xanadu, John Constantine, and Captain Marvel. She has used her powers to command elemental forces, heal, transmute and transmogrify objects, manipulate minds, and attack her opponents with energy blasts.
KNOWN ABILITIES:
STRENGTH LEVEL:
As a magician, she is considered among the most powerful and knowledgeable in the world and often works alongside the most powerful magic-users on Earth, including Doctor Fate, Madame Xanadu, and Captain Marvel. However, the actual extent of her powers is not fully known. According to Green Arrow, she is the most powerful member of the Justice League. Of all the magicians and sorcerers on the planet, the JLA always go to Zatanna when they need magical assistance.
WEAKNESSES:
Mnemonic Incantation: Zatanna casts her spells by saying the words of her incantations backwards. Zatanna must concentrate on her magic to make sure she is using the proper spell. It is at this point where she is most vulnerable. Mnemonic incantation is the most complicated of the mystic arts. It appears that this is well known to her enemies. On one occasion, the assassin Deathstroke delivered a direct blow to her liver, initiating a regurgitation reaction. On a separate occasion, The Joker (disguised as the stage magician Loxias) shot Zatanna in the neck, rendering her magic useless. She must be able to speak or read backwards in order for her to focus her spells. On multiple occassions, Zatanna has also found herself to be bound and gagged by her enemies, a measure that denies her the ability to cast spells.
Higher-Level Magics: If the magic power-level of her opponent is higher than hers, then it would be extremely difficult for her to win a battle. In addition, it is difficult to impossible to affect a spell that was set in motion with higher-level magics.
Despite all her abilities, Zatanna is a human and has all the physical frailties associated with it.

PARAPHERNALIA
SHADOWCREST:
Zatanna owns a mansion called Shadowcrest, in which she keeps a vast library of magical knowledge, as well as an arsenal of powerful relics, enough to do "just about anything you'd want to do." Shadowcrest seems to exist in a completely different dimension, although it is initially located outside of Gotham.
EXAMINATION RECORD
Sapphire eyes slowly fluttered open. Everything was a blur and no matter how hard Zatanna tried to focus, her eyes would not cooperate. The back of her skull pounded with each beat of her heart and she could feel that her hair was matted and sticky against her skull. As she tried to reach up to confirm her suspicians, she discovered that her wrists were bound tightly behind her back. Zatanna could hear muffled voices through the fog of pain she was enduring. She vaguely recognized them, but couldn't place them. "Focus" she thought to herself. The only thing she could focus on was the pounding in her skull. Zee jerked against the binding on her wrists, but they were bound too tightly. She felt a hand suddenly grab her hair and zerk her head back. She tried to scream, but the gag in her mouth muffled most of it.
"The tramp is waking up" one of the captors said as his buddy joined him in front of the magician. "Where's your smart mouth now?" the other said as he grabbed Zatanna's chin and turned her face towards him. She nearly gagged at the odor of his alcohol laden breath. She tried to turn her head but he held her fast. "Focus" she said to herself as she looked at her captors. Everything was a blur and all she saw was shapes, but she finally remembered where she heard the voices. These were hecklers at her show. They had been disruptive and abnoxious. Zee had humiliated them in front of the crowd and this was payback. Events started rushing back. She remembered walking out to her car after the show and, as she opened the door, feeling the sudden flash of pain and then darkness. Anger flashed in Zatanna's mind. Anger, not at her captors, but at herself. How could she allow herself to be captured by a pair of common drunk thugs. She would have been embarrassed if not for the constant throbbing in her head.
Zatanna closed her eyes as she fought the pain and nausea of what was most assured a concussion. "Wake up!" the first captor shouted at her as he backhanded her savagely with his pistol. Pain exploded in her jaw. Zatanna's eyes snapped open and he blue eyes sparkled with sudden clarity. She could now see her captors clearly. "Now, we searched your car and couldn't find any cash. We know you're loaded, so how about you tell us where it is." He said as he pointed the gun at her. Zee locked her gaze onto his and said something incoherent into her gag. "So, you want to cooperate?" the thugs asked her. Zee nodded her head that she did. He smiled a wicked smile. He knew he and his buddy were going to score. He pointed the gun directly at Zatanna as he untied her gag. "If you scream, I will shoot you" he said. "Do you understand?" Once again, she nodded that she did.
The gag had barely dropped away when Zatanna spoke. "snug nrut ot ollej" she spoke clearly. Mystical lights danced around the barrels and down the grips as the guns sagged and melted down the captor's wrists. "WHAT THE..." he began to say as Zee immediately spoke one simple syllable. "niap" she stated, clearly and smoothly. Immediately, both men dropped to the floor, wailing and writhing in pain as they begged the magician to make it stop. "sdnib esaeler em" she said and the ropes that held her fell harmlessly to the floor. She stood, having to grab the chair to steady herself on wobbly legs. The men continued to beg and wail for mercy.
"Don't worry, boys. The authorities will be on their way momentarily. As soon as you confess to them what you have done, the pain will subside." Ignoring their continued pleas, Zatanna turned away to face a brick wall. "ekat em ot tsercwodahs" she said. A shimmering portal opened against the wall and Zee staggered through it, vanishing as she was teleported to her mansion to recover.
