Zatanna

After assisting the Justice League with several cases, Zatanna became a full member, playing a key role in defeating the Secret Society of Super-Villains' plan to switch their minds into the bodies of various League members. She eventually learned that her mother Sindella was not actually killed in a car accident; the crash was staged by a group of Homo Magi, who abducted her to return her to their secret city because they needed Sindella's powers to sustain their power. Zatanna found her mother, but sadly, Sindella was killed saving her daughter from the same imprisonment she had suffered.

While studying different types of magic, Zatanna met and began a romance with a fellow student, John Constantine. But Constantine was a restless and roguish type and could never stay in one place for long. Years later, when a supernatural threat called the Great Darkness loomed, Constantine, now an occult investigator, assembled various mystics including Zatanna and Zatara to probe it. The Darkness detected them and attacked Zatanna, but Zatara magically redirected the attack onto himself and was killed. While she knew it wasn't Constantine's fault, Zatanna couldn't help but hold him partially responsible for her father's death, and while they have remained friends and occasionally shared a romantic moment or two, they haven't managed to rekindle their relationship.

The members of the Justice League realized that when the Secret Society of Super-Villains had mentally switched bodies with them, they had discovered some of their secret identities. Fearing for their loved ones' safety, they had Zatanna magically erase that knowledge from the villains' minds. Realizing that they could go further and perhaps reform some villains or reduce their threat, some League members decided to engage in more magic mind alteration, including Catwoman. Batman was strongly opposed, and when he found Zatanna and the others doing it, she used magic to erase his memory of the incident. When he learned of the mind-wipe later, it caused a rift between them, but by apologizing to him and Catwoman and helping them with other cases, Zatanna managed to regain their confidence.

Zatanna has at least one living relative, Zachary Zatara, a teenage stage magician who realized he had similar powers to his uncle Giovanni Zatara and cousin Zatanna. Zatanna discovered that Zachary was by nature much more impulsive and reckless than she was at his age, so she did what she could to guide and mentor him. She helped him join the Teen Titans, although his brash personality got on the nerves of his teammates and he eventually left. Zatanna's kindness toward her cousin was repaid when Zachary freed her from the influence of the demon Mammon, who was fulfilling a contract with a man named Benjamin Raymond to force Zatanna to marry him. Zachary and Zatanna continue to have a caring, familial, if sometimes fractious relationship.

After the Justice League was defeated by the magic-using criminal the Enchantress, they saw the need for a division of the team specializing in mystic threats. Zatanna became a core member of the Justice League Dark, along with other heroes including Wonder Woman, John Constantine, Deadman, Swamp Thing, and Doctor Fate. They were crucial in defending Earth against magical menaces such as Felix Faust and Eclipso. Zatanna proved her leadership skills on the Justice League Dark's missions. However, she has never given up her love for show business and always returned to the stage. But when mystic threats arise, Zatanna stands ready to defend Earth from creatures of nightmare and common criminals alike.
