Description
DeRossi was classically trained as an assassin by a shady guild known as Nightflower. Her training allows her to direct the body's energies into energy she can use to move at extraordinary speeds, exert extreme amounts of force and surround herself with an aura of "pressure" that can stop bullets and other projectiles. DeRossi is of slight frame, with long, brunette hair and a Mediterranean appearance. She enjoys luxury and comfort; a complete opposite to her work partner, Buster Breaker. She shares Breaker's affinity for antique weaponry. She wears purple plague doctors robes and a white mask with a single red tear painted on the left cheek. She is a quiet and reserved person, normally leaving dealings to the more assertive Breaker.

DeRossi is 5'3" and weighs 55kg. She likes money and red wine, but dislikes cold weather and loud people.

History
Aboard Vance Vangelis's ship, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Valentina DeRossi and Buster Breaker slaughtered the entire ensemble of mercenaries, bounty hunters and assassins that Vangelis had brought together to kill Sefer Yetzirah. DeRossi made use of her Vickers 1912 .303 to devastating effect, cutting down the crowd of mercenaries without hitting Breaker with a single round. The pair left soon after giving their names to Vangelis, having secured the contract for themselves. DeRossi's motive for undertaking the contract is monetary gain, as well as pleasure in the hunt. DeRossi also admires Vangelis' extravagance and eccentricity.
