Zatanna Zatara is the daughter of famed magician Giovanni “John” Zatara and Sindella, a member of the mystical Homo Magi race. Zatanna is a direct descendant of the artist and magician Leonardo da Vinci, and is related to Nostradamus; Alessandro Cagliostro; the noted alchemists Nicholas Flamel and Evan Fulcanelli; and King Arion of Atlantis. She is genetically gifted with the ability to use magic. As a tribute to her father, and as a focus for her spells, she casts spells by speaking backwards.*
