Origin
The daughter of the crime-fighting stage magician John Zatara and the mystical Sindella, Zatanna Zatara was born with magic in her blood.

Sindella seemingly died six months after Zatanna's birth, but unknown to her husband she returned to the hidden city of her people the Homo Magi.

When Zatanna was still a child the evil elemental Allura placed a curse upon Zatanna and her father which would result in their deaths if they ever saw one another again.  To protect his daughter and find a cure for the curse Zatara left Earth to search other dimensions for Allura's good counterpart.

Hiding her mystical abilities in plain sight, Zatanna assumed the role of a stage magician while continuing her search for her father with the assistance of many of Earth's heroes.

Decades later Zatara's quest came to an end, breaking the spell of Allura, and he and Zatanna were reunited.  To honor her father she continues her dual careers as the stage magician and a crimefighter called Zatanna.
