Background:Alanza Wilsonwas born blind. Born in Salem, Mass. In 1975 she quickly learned to adapt to her environment.
She amazed her parent when at age 12 she asked her father what was the new fish in the family aquarium. Alanza had begun to develop what she calls her Eyeless Sight. Her unusual vision was being to develop. Soon she was walking without a cane and able to do much more than other blind children her age. She surprised her parents again when she wanted to take up archery. Her father thought she would soon out grow it. To his surprise she excelled. She began to win tournaments and was soon disqualified from the “Special Olympics” on the grounds she cannot really be blind. Her parents were outraged at her, once they lost their government funding. She was declared a fake.
When she turned 17 life dealt her another tragic blow. Both of her parents were killed in the devastation of the Battle of Detroit. They were just passing through the city when Dr. Destroyer attacked the city. They found themselves caught up in the fury of the battle. Both of her parents were killed. The superheroes of the city could not protect them.
Alanza awoke to find that she was alone in the world. Her Eyeless Sight allows here to see shapes and distances, but it is not refined enough to allow her to read or make out colors. She quickly learned that without the ability to read one was helpless in the modern world. She first turned to prostitution and finally to carnivals. Her archery skills were a big hit, especially while she was blindfolded. She took on the stage name the “Blind Archer”
Soon she found herself working for Prest Circus. She and Ringmistress quickly began friends. She soon started doing some criminals jobs to help support her while she worked for the circus. She was away on one such job when the Prest Circus was shut down in MillenniumCity.
Soon Ringmistress called that she had found them on new job with someone called Captain Cardiac.
Personality/Motivation: Alanza’s abilities have made her overconfident and arrogant. She’s convinced she can handle anything; it might take some time, but she has a way to defeat anything. Moreover, she can’t stand to be bested or defeated; she’s the best, and second place is for losers. Any hero, who defeats her, particularly at archery, has probably just made an enemy for life.
Quote:“Welcome to my world!”said just after firing a smoke arrow.
Powers/Tactics: Blind Archer is a talented archer equipped with a high tech bow and a quiver full of tricked-out arrows. In addition to standard broad heads and chisel-points, she’s got arrows that explode, emit clouds of smoke, burst into wads of sticky glue to restrain the target, and so on. In combat she analyzes her targets carefully; picking the most important one and then firing at him with her uncanny accuracy (find weakness). She prefers to fight from behind cover if possible, but is willing to get in the open if necessary.
Appearance: Blind Archer is an attractive woman at 5’9”. She has long black hair. Her costume is a green body glove, with matching boots and gloves. Because of the blindfold on her costume she has been mistaken for the Blind Justice statue.
