Character Name: (Detective) Sara Pezzini Series: Witchblade Age: Early 30s From When?: Shortly after the events of issue #69, as described in the History section.
Inmate/Warden: Warden. Although her methods are sometimes a teensy bit unorthodox and there's a voice in her head that tells her to kill things, everything Sara does is ultimately driven by her desire to be a good cop and protect her city. She has intimate lived experience of managing and controlling darker urges, and has spent enough time dealing with criminality and evil of all kinds to understand what would drive an Inmate's decisions and how that behaviour might be changed. Item: Her police badge.
Abilities/Powers: This is going to take a while.
Alone, Sara has all the training and competences you would expect from an intelligent and experienced detective. However, she is also the current host of the Witchblade, an ancient symbiotic weapon created to act as a balance between the warring universal forces of light and dark (the Angelus and the Darkness respectively). In its dormant state, it appears to be a jewelled bracelet or watch worn on her right wrist. Even in this state, it still speaks to her, and acts as a sort of early warning system for supernatural beings or times of mortal peril (not reliably, and not often providing enough information to be useful).
It has granted her a wide array of abilities: she can form various weapons, generate full body armor in order to protect herself (she can also form wings allowing flight), shoot energy blasts from the hand or sword, fire projectile darts, and whip-like grapples to attack or climb. The Witchblade is also an excellent lockpick, and can heal wounds, even mortal ones. It can show the host scenes of great trauma, and allow the host to relive experiences from past hosts as dreams. The Witchblade is also known to be able to damage incorporeal beings and is capable of slaying other-dimensional entities and deities; it can also communicate with spirits of the dead and share gleaned knowledge with its host. On one occasion it connected directly with the mind of a severely disabled boy, allowing Sara to communicate with him although he couldn't speak.
It also had a tendency of ripping all Sara's clothes off when used to generate armour. Canon reasoning? The Witchblade is a pervert. Eventually she trained it to stop doing that.
However, she will spend her time on the Barge trying not to use any of these abilities, particularly the offensive/destructive ones. Part of her reason for coming to the Barge in the first place is to stop having to use the Witchblade as frequently as she does and allowing it so much control over her life. The Witchblade is also notoriously unreliable, sometimes acting without her command as a response to perceived threat, sometimes refusing to respond even when her life is in danger.
