We should call Tim, Bart, Kon the three stooges more. Specifically cassie should be calling them this, it just make sense.

cissie king-jones aka arrowette is the product of being the daughter of a mother who is living vicariously through her.

Her mother Bonnie made her into the vigilante that she never could be. In Cissie's orgin story in YJ98 she says this to her psychiatrist 'Bonnie's story is mine. And mine is hers. She made sure of that.' which noticeably cissie doesn't call Bonnie any term of endearment, implying a sense of distance between the two, like she views Bonnie more as a manager or a mentor than a mother at times. (which is an interesting parallel to tim who views bruce more as a parent figure then mentor at times). Bonnie outright says that money from cissies father, who she calls bowstring (his hero ID, which is a lot to unpack), can give Cissie the life bonnie never got, aka the hero-life. And that shes doing it for cissies sake, believing that this very dangerous life is good for a young person. Cissie on the other hand sees this as Bonnie taking the chance to accomplish her dreams.

Cissie describes her entire childhood of a blur of sports, beauty-pageants, and 'Camp Bonnie', all with the goal of turning her into Bonnie. interestingly Bonnie's mother put her through a similar childhood of archery training, making this lifestyle a cycle of trying to make their daughters into what they could never be.

Once Cissie does become a vigilante, Bonnie still directs her every move and Cissie every time responds with, "Yes mommy." another interesting vocal tic of hers, seemingly trying to make herself seem like the perfect daughter. Bonnies response to Superman's death is that is will take attention away from cissie, so she needs to work harder which is yikes. She puts a like 13 yr old cissie in increasingly more dangerous situations (in a suit that provides very little protection and is very flashy) until max mercury turns her in for child endangerment (go max!). Bonnie is put under psychiatric observation for her anger issues.

Cissie only becomes Arrowette again to prove to her mother that she can do it better than she did and that she can do it on her own. essentially giving her mother what she wants but Cissie is too young to really understand that.

YJ98 for something that was made in the 90's makes really good points and calls out the absolutely horrific lack of gun control, and how many people have died because of it. Like to the point where Cissie punches a politician because he was anti-gun control and her therapist was just shot, after she warn3d people that her ex was going to shoot her because of the lack of gun control

yj98 has so many lovely moments of girlhood in it, cissie and cassie comforting each other after the team almost gets shut down, the girls having a sleepover, realizing they are so much cooler than any of the boys, greta finding courage in their stories.
