Bio: She escaped from Arkham asylum and infiltrated the world of derby where she takes her twisted martyrdom to the next gory level. The voices are telling her to kick your ass and score. She brings old world charm and medieval torture to the skating track. Her twisted visions cause her to brutalize an entire team in one jam. Burned at the stake in 1432, reincarnated from the hellish fires as a skating villain. Her violent delusions will make your life on the track a bitch!
