Can I ask you why you'd count Jim as part of the BatFam? I personally don't because-- I'm not sure, maybe because he's the 'best friend'. I can buy Bruce and Dick, for instance, thinking of him as family, but not as part of the Batfamily. Maybe because Batman has no authority over him.
Sasha Bordeaux (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Sasha_Bordeaux) was Bruce's bodyguard after No Man's Land and at the start of the Murderer storyline, and a Greg Rucka creation.
Of all of Bruce's romantic entanglements, she's one of my favourite, because she knows Bruce is Batman practically from the start, and one of the things I find interesting with Bruce is that all the people he cares about (with the exceptions of people who've known him since he was a child) have met him through Batman. In fact, she falls in love with Bruce because he's Batman.
She insists on 'doing her job' as his bodyguard when he's outside being Batman, though she's perfectly aware of the irony, and so Bruce gives her a domino mask and trains her. She's his not-Robin.
I need to read more GA, and more, um, Bat things that are not just Tim-centric... :D This fills me with joy.
