The daughter of the world-famous magician, Zatara—and his protégé—

In his life, Zatara had traveled all over the globe, delighting and astounding audiences, confounding critics and winning world-wide fame.

For in addition to the arts of prestidigitation and legerdemain, he practiced the art of true magic, passed down to him by his father before him—the knowledge of spells and how to properly perform the incantations that would bend the natural world to his will.

He passed along these arts to his daughter, Zatanna.  He raised her alone after the death of his wife, and he did his best to protect her from the enemies he had made in his life.  But when he was killed, Zatanna was faced with the realization that her father had made more than human enemies.  She was forced to use the powers her father taught her to not only protect herself, but civilians caught in the crossfire, when the demonic forces that killed her parents came after her.  After defeating them and ending their threat, Zatanna continued to use her powers to protect humanity against supernatural harm.

Now, Zatanna herself travels the country and the world, taking up her father’s profession as a performing magician, winning fame in her own right.  Along the way, she involves herself in mysteries and strange crimes, confronting super-villains she never knew existed, and living up to the destiny her father bestowed upon her in passing on the magic of their ancestors.
