Background

The Robber Bride has been active for nearly twenty years but hasn't seemed to age a day. She began her Robber Bride career as a superhero ally of Sanction during the 1980s but after several years she began to lose track of her original identity and felt that she was losing her mind. She checked herself into a mental institution in Switzerland where she stayed for three years. During that time she lost contact with her friends from Sanction and began to re-think her life. She realised that she had never thought big enough. She had immense power but had never been anything more than a sidekick.

Things would change. She never set out to become a supervillain but she wanted to make decisions which would affect the world. She would never kill anyone but she used her powers to turn uberhuman abilities against villains. She left them for authorities to lock up, but soon she wanted a more permanent solution. She incapacitated her adversaries, taking them near death in the hopes of giving them that moment of clarity where they would mend their wicked ways.

Her vigilante ways caught up with her in Las Vegas where she was beaten by a set of Iron Maidens. Her battered body was left in the dust but she didn't die. She was spirited away by the Emerald Crane and recovered in his sanctuary far south in Rio de Janeiro. She didn't know how she got there but as she recovered she realised that the Crane's plans for the world were truly visionary, far exceeding her own limited visions.
Personality
The Robber Bride wants to make the world a better place. She has seen powerful villains try to take over the world and she has seen saviours come and go. The only person she truly believes has the right idea is the Emerald Crane, and now that he is dead she clings to the hope that his students can continue the work he began. She will oppose all those who plan to dominate the world and she knows that she has the powers to do it.

She is older than the others but still looks very young. This discrepancy makes her something of an outsider. She is not fully comfortable in the company of the other Emerald Crane members, and she is contemplating starting her own group.
Quote
"Let me have a go at that..."
Powers

The Robber Bride is able to leech uberhuman abilities from others and to exhibit them herself. These powers are limited by touch but also grant her an insight into her target's mind. The Bride ages very slowly and has some defence against mental and manipulative powers. Since joining the Emerald Crane she has learned martial arts but prefers to rely on her absorption powers.
Appearance

Alessandra still looks like she is nineteen, although she is actually in her forties. When she began her superhero career she actually wore a modified wedding dress but now prefers to dress casually, although she maintains her veil as an homage to her past. She has fine blonde hair and an olive complexion. She wears a choker with a crucifix and two golden arm bands.
