UNIFORM:
The outfit she uses whilst working for the League of Shadows is a dark green colored kimono, and appears as though it has shreds and rips along it.

Cheshire also wears black knee-high boots.
A trademark of her appearance is a white mask, resembling a cat's head with red stripes and a wide grin, in reference to the Cheshire Cat in Alice and Wonderland, hence her name
Outside of 'work' Jade wears whatever she feels comfortable in. Mostly jeans and a comfortable top, something she doesn't mind getting food or other things on thanks to her two year old.

Cheshire is a young woman with a slender, but fit build; she stands at 5'6". She has thick black hair and grey eyes, as well as olive-colored skin due to her Vietnamese heritage, on her mother's side.
PLAY-BY: Cha Ye-ryeon
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fear:
Turning out to be just like her father: Now that she is a mother Jade tries her best to give Lian the life she never had and to not make her fathers mistakes. She doesn't want her daughter growing up to resent her like Jade resents her father.
Desire:
While she would like to say getting out of the assassin game for good to focus on her daughter it would be a lie. Jade loves what she does too much, she has a natural ability for it and she is good at what she does. What she does desire thou (and something she would never admit) is to have a working relationship with her sister. The two of them being on the opposite sides of the law have left their relationship strained to say the least. That does not mean that Jade cares for Artemis any less. She loves her sister and feels guilty for not being there for her growing up but she tries to make up for it in little ways. Like not killing Artemis, mostly toying with her little team and keeping them alive.
HABITS:
Jade will twirl objects between her fingers, a habit brought on by use of her sais. It is therapeutic to her and whenever she starts feeling stressed, angry, restless..whatever she will grab anything she can: pens, pencils..so on and begin to twirl.
PET PEEVE:
Jade's biggest pet peeve is her father and his delusions that he was a good father. Lawrence thinks his 'tough love' was good for his girls and Jade resents him to no end.
STRENGTHS:
• Master assassin: Having been trained by her parents and later the League of Shadows, Jade is a master of her craft and one of the most deadly in the world.
• Ruthless: While she does like to play 'cat and mouse' games with many, the targets that hold no personal interest to her Jade will take care of in a deadly and often times brutal fashion. Part of the reason why poisons are a personal favorite of hers. Makes the death slow and painful.
WEAKNESSES:
• Her family: Jade loves her family, she loves her mother, sister, husband and daughter and while she does not love her father there is a professional respect between them. Her loyalty to these people is bothersome at times and it does get in the way of her work. Jade will do anything to protect her daughter and her sister.
TRAITS:
Cheshire has a true killer's instinct and is willing to go to any means necessary to accomplish her goals, whether it be through attacks, murder, or blackmail. She has a dry sense of humor, and treats her opponents like a cat would treat a mouse, allowing herself to be involved in playful banter to a small extent. She actually enjoys the prospect of killing, but she is not without her own sense of duty, following the orders of her masters to the letter, despite how easy it would be for her to ignore them.
Today, while she still has that same killer instinct, Jade is much more focused on creating a life for her daughter and making sure Roy is involved in Lian's life. She tries her best to do the maternal, caring thing...and she is but many times that old itch for the kill and excitement for her old life will creep up and Jade will take on freelance jobs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
HISTORY:
Jade's early life left much to be desired. Her parents were both accomplished assassins and Jade was put through a rigorous training regime from a early start. The one thing that made this bearable was her mother and sister. Paula, while a strict instructor was a loving mother and treated both Jade and Artemis with love and kindness. Lawrence on the other hand did not. Sure, he loved his daughters in his own way but any outward affection was unheard of.
During one of her parents crimes Paula became paralyzed and took the fall for her husband, being sent to prison for six years. During this time the girls were left in the care of Lawrence and it was then that Jade and his relationship really came to a head. Having had enough of her fathers emotional and verbal abuse Jade made the decision to leave and at age 15 she did just that. Promising Artemis that she would come back for her. Jade took her mother's maiden name after she left because of her issues with her father.
Jade utilized her training to help keep her on her feet. Pulling high risk robberies to give her funds for the basic necessities. Always telling herself that she would go for Artemis soon. Years passed and Jade quickly made a name for herself as a capable assassin and she joined with the League of Shadows to continue her education in the deadly arts. Jade remained a member and one of their top assassins and carried out missions in the name of the league as well as her own. She would routinely check in on Artemis from afar to make sure she was still well.
During Artemis's early run with The Team Jade made a point to keep a eye on her sister, and would routinely taunt the team and make general havoc for them. This is where she met Red Arrow and began a courtship. The two of them would fight, flirt, and fight some more and eventually it evolved into a romantic relationship and marriage.
Their daughter Lian was born shortly before Artemis's apparent death and Jade made a vow that day she heard the sad news to not only avenge her sisters death but to also give her daughter the life she had wanted for her sister. With Roy dealing with the realization that he was in fact a Cadmus clone and off doing God only knows Jade was left to raise Lian alone.
Today Jade has settled in Star City to be close enough to Roy while he deals with his own personal demons and to separate herself from her old life. She still is under the employ of the League of Shadows but does her best to lay low so she can better take care of her daughter. This does not mean that Jade has given up her assassin life however, and she will often times rent out her services whenever she needs money or has that scratch that just needs to be itched.

ANYTHING ELSE?
She wants to rekindle her relationship with her sister and her husband but she knows that with Artemis being on the side of justice and Jade not that things are going to be strained. She is also trying to help Roy get back to his old self, she had started pushing him in the right direction, convincing him to start training again and just taking care of his basic hygiene but the rest is up to him.
