Villain: Bloodrose

Name: Shannon Marie McWilliams, but she never uses it anymore
Alias: Bloodrose
Age: 19
Appearance: 5'6", blonde hair, green eyes; demeanor varies from casual/tomboy (jeans, t-shirt, boots) off-duty to punk (leather jacket, spiked hair, face paint and/or mask) when pulling a job.
Job: None at present; supports herself via robbery and odd jobs (bodyguard, leg-breaker, arsonist) for known criminals

Shannon McWilliams' powers first manifested when she was twelve. Convinced that she had somehow fallen and was in desperate need of correction and salvation, her deeply-evangelical parents had her sent off to a "halfway house" to try to cure her of her sins. As with many such programs, the environment there was deeply abusive on multiple levels, and when she finally escaped Shannon left behind her name, her faith, her morals, and any trust in other people... along with a number of corpses.

As Bloodrose, Shannon can summon spirit forms that manifest as demons that emerge from her mouth. The more effort she puts into their creation, the stronger they get. She has been known to summon up to six at a time, or to concentrate her efforts into a single, super-powerful manifestation. Bloodrose is scrupulous about keeping her bargains, and ruthless with anyone who breaks theirs. She will work with other people, but refuses to be put in charge of anyone else. She neither has nor wants personal relationships; if she has to deal with someone else, it's going to be strictly business.
