Where They're From: Originally from the Top Cow comic Witchblade, then was in the TNT movie/series based on the comic with the same name.
Reasons for Joining the League: As a cop and even as a wielder, Sara has a firm sense of justice and a dedication to saving people and taking out the bad guys. She's also begun to feel more and more like an outcast at her precinct, and after losing most everyone she loves, she's not eager to keep putting her two partners in the danger the Witchblade brings her. Deciding that joining the team would give her a chance to do what she loves and get away from things at least for a while, Sara signed up.
Personality: Sara is snarky and kind of rough around the edges. She was raised by a cop, became a cop. She lost both of her adoptive parents at a young age, her mother first, and has never met her real parents. She's never had a good relationship with anyone romantically, and has only two good relationships otherwise - with her best friend Danny and her father-figure Joe Siri. She's skittish of opening up to anyone besides those to, or letting someone see her when she's vulnerable, and even with them she can close herself off. She's dedicated to her work, and has a strong sense of justice, though sometimes it can be blurred by the Witchblade. She can get testy at times, and if tired she can sometimes let the Witchblade affect her mood. She's cynical and has trust issues, and after the last relationship she was in, has sworn of getting involved again.
Powers: As a human, Sara wasn't born with any powers, only with the blood of a wielder. The power she has is from a mystical weapon known as the Witchblade. The Witchblade gives her intuitions, visions, dreams, giving her clues to the past, present, and future. It can warn her of danger, help her with leads, it can even almost control and manipulate things to its advantage. The Witchblade is not necessarily evil, nor is it good. It is almost a living entity, and it will be evil or good, depending on the Wielder. It will only accept certain women - it can't be worn by men - and even then, it tests them constantly up into the Periculum, when it either kills the wielder or bonds with her. It has various forms it takes, all of which are powerful. It has revealed five different forms to Sara - the simple bracelet form it took before she passed the Periculum, the bracelet form it now has, a gauntlet form that covers most of her arm and has claw like tips on her fingers, with a semi short blade that comes out of the hand, that same form, but with a sword sticking out of the fist, and a skeletal form that works like brass knuckles. The metal is unbreakable, as is the jewel. It has saved Sara's life several times, as well as caused the death of one of her lovers. But that was in another lifetime. The Witchblade has been used by Sara twice to do incredible feats - bring her self-appointed guardian, Ian Nottingham, back to life, and reverse time back to the day her friend Danny was killed, a few minutes before it happened. While she has no clear memory of the first lifetime, the Witchblade does, and gives her visions to avoid making some of the same mistakes, including the one that cost her best friend Danny his life. It also allows for Sara to be visited by "ghosts", including Danny before the time reversal, and President Kennedy. What other powers it holds are unknown, but it slowly has been revealing them to Sara. One secret it revealed to her was its original form - a branch from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Abilities: Sara is an excellent shot, as well as a trained kick boxer and well fit athlete, not to mention her ability to handle the Witchblade for the most part.
Weaponry: The Witchblade and a glock handgun.

History: Sara Pezzini was adopted by a cop and his wife when she was just a baby, raised unaware of that fact. Her mother died when she was young, and her father was murdered not long after that. Strong and stubborn, Sara followed in her father's footsteps, becoming a cop in the same precinct. One day while on duty with her partner Danny Woo, she chased after a suspect on the run, following him into a museum. She lost her suspect at first, finding her way to the Joan of Arc section, where a mysterious man in all black was looking at a specific gauntlet in display. He engaged her in conversation for a moment, then disappeared seemingly when she looked around for her suspect. Caught by surprise, she nearly got killed by the suspect, but the display case of the gauntlet was broken, the gauntlet "falling" in her direction. In the end there was an explosion, the suspect killed, Sara amazingly survived. Afterwards she eventually met up with Kenneth Irons, a rich, sophisticated, and controlling man, along with his bodyguard, Ian Nottingham who turned out to be the man from the museum. Sara learned from Irons she was in possession of the "Witchblade", a mysterious talisman, a weapon of incredible force and power. She is the latest in a line of wielders, all female. Irons sought to control Sara and the Witchblade, but she was far too stubborn and cynical to fall for his tricks.
Here is where things get really complicated. Sara didn't and still doesn't know that she's turned back time. Only a day or two after she got the Witchblade, her partner Danny was killed. But she could still see him, courtesy of the Witchblade, and he became her "link" to the PTB. She went through many trails, including the Periculum, which she passed, but not until she learned the Witchblade has its own plans and intentions for her, and makes only a few compromises. It also can become jealous, and as a result of not liking a lover Sara took, nor liking how much attention he received, the Witchblade manipulated things to its advantage, and Sara's lover was killed. After that, Sara and the Witchblade's little relationship became a bit more, mutual, and she has learned to control it more than any wielder before her. But things ended up for the worst at one point after she discovered a band of dirty cops, and when all seemed lost, a past wielder, through the Witchblade, told her of one of the most awesome powers to Witchblade possessed. If she was a true wielder and had enough strength, she could use it to reverse time, though not too far. Sara reversed time back to moments before Sara and Danny went into the building where Danny was killed. The Witchblade gave her intuition, and she and Danny didn't go in. The events of her life were changed drastically, as not long after that, she was forced to kill Kenneth Irons. She was unaware of what happened the first time around, though she did have visions of events, giving her warnings sometimes.
After fighting a battle against Kenneth Irons' spirit in the many forms he took to try and come back to life permanently and completely, Sara became almost completely at peace with the Witchblade and her life as a Wielder. She defeated Irons, and while she has many lessons to learn and many secrets to discover, she has come to accept the mysterious weapon known as the Witchblade. But it separates her from almost everyone, with the exception of Nottingham who is also an outcast. But due to his stalker tendencies and obsessive but submissive love for her, Sara is quite skittish of him. Because of her separation from others, she found joining the league to be her best option for now.
