Description

Curare was born an orphan in the Himalayas. She grew up with future Green Lantern Kai-Ro in an ashram. Getting older, Curare and Kai-Ro saw their lives very differently. Kai-Ro was happy with his life at the ashram but Curare viewed the temple as a cage and the monk elders as her keepers. Curare believed there was a life beyond the ashram that offered riches and recognition. Kai-Ro only wanted to practice humility and was content with the life he had at the temple.
In the dark of the night, Curare left the ashram and took with her many valuable items, including a Green Lantern ring that came to Kai-Ro but he was unsure of wanting to use it, so he put it away until his choice was made. Curare accidentally alerted the entire temple to her theft and attempted escape and she would now have to fight her way out. She killed many monks til she made it outside onto the snow covered mountains and was confronted by her "brother". Kai-Ro begged her not to take this path and pleaded with her to take punishment for what she had just done. Curare attempted to strike him down, but the Ring left her bag and attached itself to Kai-Ro who finally knew the path his life would take, to protect others from evils such as his "sister". No matter what Curare would do, she could not get past him and she attempted to escape by throwing herself off a cliff. Kai-Ro caught her but she threw a small dagger at him and in trying to defend himself he wasn't able to hold Curare and she plummeted into the snowy darkness of the mountains.

Curare was later found by the League of Assassins with most of her body broken. They could fix her but not with a price. Curare would have to serve the League and she accepted. The League was a splinter group who served the ideals of their old master and tried many times to replicate the Lazarus Pit after Batman destroyed the last one and let Ra's Al Ghul die. Their attempts made for Lazarus Pits with different and sometimes disastrous results. The latest one was capable of healing but would warp the mind of those exposed to it and turn their skin greyish blue. Curare was thrown into the pit and when she emerged, she was better than before, after her training, she excelled beyond some of the most experienced assassins and became a highly effective killing machine.

Curare never let a target get away from her until her last mission was in Gotham. Batman stopped Curare and her failure caused her to go on the run from the League since the price of failure was death. Now she's back in Gotham, looking to finish off the man who caused her greatest failure and she won't stop until either her or Batman is dead.

I based the look of this new Curare off of the ninjas from the League of Assassins from Arkham Knight.
