Cheshire, also known as Jade Nguyen, is a prominent DC Comics assassin and supervillain. Born to a French father and Vietnamese mother, she suffered a traumatic childhood culminating in the death of her family at the hands of a tiger. She then became a ward of Weng Chan, a renowned guerrilla leader who trained her in various martial arts and espionage techniques.

Cheshire's skill set includes extensive knowledge of poisons, explosives, and hand-to-hand combat, making her a deadly adversary. She often employs long, artificial fingernails coated with potent toxins.

She has a complex relationship with several DC heroes and villains. She is known for her romantic entanglement with Roy Harper (Arsenal), resulting in a daughter named Lian Harper. Her enemies include the Teen Titans, Green Arrow, and other members of the Justice League. Cheshire's motivations often involve personal gain, though she occasionally engages in morally ambiguous actions.
