'Sarrisa' (Natalie Cruz)

Look

Female, Latina, Comfortable clothing, Traditional costume, No Insignia

Abilities

Legendary Speed: Sarissa is astonishingly fast, able to outrun cars, planes and occasionally bullets.

Magic Weaponry: Sarissa's namesake spear can be used in close combat, stabbing or (more often) clubbing foes with the shaft; it can also be thrown with Sarissa's speed, enabling it to penetrate any barrier or disrupt certain magical or energy-based effects.

Divine Armor: Sarissa's shield has the face of a roaring lioness; it can withstand almost any attack, and may latch on to an attacker's weapon, throwing them off-balance. It can also roar, producing fear in those who face Sarissa.

Legacy

Xipha is still active and prominent in the city. She gets invited to any number of public events.

Axiomatika is retired, but very judgmental. It's always, "I think you'll find Hippolyta would have done better" or "What would Ares make of that kind of mistake?"

Toxa could be the next member-- she has the divine blood, but it has yet to manifest as either divine power or a gift from Ares as yet.

Delphyne is the greatest opponent our legacy ever faced-- and is still at large.

Backstory

When did you officially become a part of your legacy?

When Ares sent me gifts. My powers, such as they are, began to blossom at that point.

What's the best story you always heard about your legacy?

Probably Axiomatika and Xipha fighting together to battle Graf von Stahlschadel's robot army, destroying it all before it could ever reach the city.

How does the public perceive your legacy?

Women of legendary power and beauty... and independence. Some find that very, very threatening.

How does your legacy tie into your reasons for being a hero?

When you carry the blood of a god, and that god acknowledges you as a hero, what choice have you got, really? Who could turn their back on that? And who would want to?

Why do you care about the team?

Look, the Daughters are family, yeah-- we're literally all related to Ares. But it's not easy to relate to them. Xipha's great, but she comes from a tier of society I could never touch, that would never let me in if I didn't have powers, and that still gives me the side-eye for what my mortal heritage is; her experiences are not mine. The team? Whatever else, the way we worked together proves that these are people I can relate to. This is closer to a real family.

When our team first came together, all things considered, we did well and impressed
