Cheshire (Jade Nguyen) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, the character made her debut in New Teen Titans Annual #2 (September 1983). A master assassin with an affinity for poison and a reputation as a feared and efficient character, she is considered one of the deadliest assassins and premier martial artists on Earth. A woman of Viet origin with differing origin stories and background in her publication history, she becomes an infamous assassin known for her affinity for poison and has ties with the League of Assassins, the Secret Society of Super Villains, and other villainous and criminal groups as she battle heroes. A frequent adversary of the Teen Titans and its subsequent iterations, she is the occasional love interest of Roy Harper. The two have a daughter, Lian Harper (later known as Cheshire Cat). The character has been adapted into several media; her first animated appearance was a non-speaking role in Teen Titans. Cheshire appears in Young Justice, voiced by Kelly Hu. Unlike her comics' version, the character is made the daughter of Sportsmaster and Huntress (Paula Brooks), the latter renamed Paula Nguyen and made Vietnamese, and is the older sister of Artemis Crock.
