Shiva is able to read people's movements through their body language, predicting their movements beforehand. She is able to hold her own against multiple opponents. She is commonly seen as the world's foremost martial artist, as powerful as Richard Dragon and Batman. Shiva has a certain sense of honour yet will willing kill an opponent. Shiva can control her nervous system to deaden herself to pain. She can even control her bleeding rate.
Shiva has an extensive knowledge when it comes to medicines. It has been said that she can heal a man just as easily as she can kill him.
STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES:
Arguably, Shiva's greatest strength is her ferocity. She has the ability to dull herself to pain meaning that she can fight longer and harder than most others, regardless of her wounds. She is trained in almost every single fighting style known to man and has mastered most of them. She can fight using any weapon though she is most dangerous when just using her bare hands.
Her greatest weakness is probably that, due to the fact that she has lost almost everyone she loves, she finds it very hard to trust. Her rage has consumed her and she is fueled by hatred more than anything else.
BACKGROUND:
Sandra Wu-San was born in a small shanty town in an unknown country. Her parents died when she was very young and she was left to grow up with her sister Carolyn. Sandra and Carolyn began to learn martial arts from a very young age to protect themselves. Eventually, they left their small town when they were in their teens and became travelling companions of martial artists Ben Turner and Richard Dragon. Whilst travelling the world together, Richard and Carolyn began to fall in love. They continued their martial arts training and it was on the roads of Vietnam that they met their Uncle Shiruto. Tragedy struck only a few days later when a spy, only known as 'The Swiss' assassinated Shiruto and kidnapped Carolyn. Sandra, Richard and Ben hunted down the spy for several years. They eventually found him in the Himalayas. During a battle between Richard and 'The Swiss', Carolyn was mortally wounded and died in Sandra's arms. The spy managed to escape. It was at that moment that Sandra vowed to avenge her sister and adopted the persona of: Lady Shiva.
Shiva travelled the world alone for several years, still training in every form of martial art she encountered. She soon encountered Guano Cravat in New Orleans. He convinced Shiva that it was Richard Dragon that was responsible for her sister's death. Shiva took a position at G.O.O.D. and worked under Barney Ling to get closer to Richard Dragon. Richard Dragon was sent to kill Guano Cravat but it was Shiva that he found waiting for him. They fought until Shiva disarmed Richard and began to choke him to death. Richard begged for mercy and told Shiva how he and Carolyn had fallen in love. Shiva lets Richard live. On their way back together, they are ambushed by a Pirate named Slash who Guano Cravat sent to kill them both. Shiva defeats and kills Slash in a sword fight.
Shiva and Richard begin to travel together once again. Guano Cravat hires Doctor Moon to kill them. Shiva and Richard defeat Moon and his brutes but cannot find Guano.
Barney Ling contacts them, requesting them to travel to the Caribbean to defeat a powerful martial artist known as 'The Preying Mantis'. They are meant to capture him alive but during combat, Shiva is filled with blood-lust. She decapitates Mantis.
They are then contacted by their old friend Ben Turner. His sister has been killed by a corrupt logger named Hatchett. Knowing the pain of losing a sister, Shiva demands to go alone. She tracks down Hatchett and brutally tortures him before killing him.
A friend of Hatchett's named 'The Silent Samurai' attacks Ben Turner and almost kills him. Shiva hurries to rescue Ben but doesn't plan ahead and is defeated by Samurai and his boss, Madame Sun. Richard then arrives and rescues them both.
The trio work together for some time, killing people they considered to be villains in Asia including an assassin calling himself Viper.
After years of bloodshed, the trio eventually separate.
Richard becomes tired of all the death he has seen. He travels up into the Mountains to become a hermit.
Ben Turner is later captured and brainwashed. After years of torture he is transformed into 'The Bronze Tiger'.
Shiva continues to train herself to become as powerful as she can. She becomes a mercenary whilst still hunting down Guano Cravat and any leads on her sister's killer. Her considerable skills allow her to ask a high price for her services and she soon becomes highly sought after.
She is approached by a member of the League of Assassins and invited to join them. She travels to their headquarters and meets with Ra's Al Ghul. Ra's teaches Shiva everything he knows. At the end of her training, she is offered a place by his side in the League. Shiva accepts and as a gift, is presented with Guano Cravat who Ra's has had as a prisoner shortly before she was invited to come to their headquarters. Shiva executes Guano.
Shiva is sent on many missions by the League so was not at their base of operations during the time that Ra's trained Bruce Wayne. She was not there when Wayne destroyed their base but hurried back when she heard. She was devastated to find that the one place she considered to be home was rubble and her 'family' were dead.
Shiva did not know Ra's was alive until she was on a mission in Kuwait and saw the news. She saw that Gotham City had almost been destroyed but Batman had saved them. She saw that Ra's had been alive but now was truly dead.
Distraught at the death of her family once again, Shiva resorts to being a mercenary once more. Shiva is hired by Reverend Hatch, the corrupt adjunct to the mayor of Hub City, to fight troublesome masked crimefighter the Question. She easily defeats him but rather than have Shiva kill him, Hatch instead has his men beat the Question further, shoot him in the head with an air gun, and dump him into the river. Seeing "a passion for combat" in the hero, Shiva rescues a near-death Question, and brings him to Richard Dragon's mountain hideaway, to give him a chance to fulfil his potential.
Deciding to leave the merc life behind her, Shiva gathers the remnants of the League including Talia, Ra's daughter. Talia explains her plan of destroying Gotham with her associate Bane. Shiva helps by travelling the world and gathering the tech, weapons and men Talia would need for such an enterprise.
During the occupation of Gotham City, whilst Bane controlled the streets and Talia worked in the shadows, Shiva continued to follow leads on 'The Swiss'. She was killing an associate of 'The Swiss' in Baghdad when she learnt of Talia's death at the hands of Batman. Knowing that Batman was Bruce Wayne, she prepared to immediately travel to Gotham to kill him but she then heard that he had died saving the City.
Shiva spends the next three years travelling and recruiting. She even visited many member of the League of Assassins to recruit them. She travels the globe to find the most powerful assassins and offers them a choice: Join her League or die. Over the three years, her organisation began to grow quickly. As time past, she began to put her sister's death behind her. Her hatred for the deceased Bruce Wayne and Gotham City was too strong. She started to infiltrate the City from the ground up. Shiva started by bribing cops and soon had planted a few loyal to her in the GCPD and MCU. She then turned to the Media. She again used money, promises of power and promises of violence to turn people's loyalties to her. Then came City Hall, a hive of corruption already. That was where she found it easiest to gain allies.
Shiva now has a strong pull in Gotham City whilst keeping to the shadows. Barely anyone knows her face as she always works through intermediaries. The few that do know her in Gotham, know her by her aliases of Jade Canary or Paper Monkey. Shiva's organisation is far smaller than the actual League and are essentially highly skilled terrorists. Shiva has also purposely hired some grunt mercs to both fill up her ranks and to send in on occassion to be cannon fodder and distract from her true assassins.

BACKGROUND:
**(The following background has been altered after advise from several members of this site regarding how to handle the Ra's Al Ghul in the Nolan trilogy and in the Arrow series. Below is a background that should fit both whilst giving Shiva character motivation and a small sect of the League that she has formed.)**
Sandra Wu-San was born in a small shanty town in an unknown country. Her parents died when she was very young and she was left to grow up with her sister Carolyn.
