History
Pezzini was born November 18, 1970. Her major enemies are The Darkness aka Jackie Estacado, Kenneth Irons, Ian Nottingham. (Sara briefly dated Kenneth Irons before discovering his evil nature.) She is of above average intelligence and is very athletic. She has police training in hand-to-hand combat, weapons and tactics. Her favorite weapons include various firearms and the Witchblade.
As the current wielder of the Witchblade, Pezzini has been granted many unique abilities, including the power to heal herself, to create armor over her skin (as the Witchblade tends to rip away all of her clothes), to shoot energy blasts, and to extend razor sharp tendrils. She has yet to explore the full limits of the Witchblade, and thus does not know what other mystical abilities it possesses. When not overly active, the Witchblade can assume the form of a Bracelet. This allows her to wear the weapon without drawing attention. The Witchblade is a sentient artifact. As such, she does not have complete control over its actions, and reactions.
Pezzini first appeared in Cyblade/Shi #1: The Battle For Independents in 1995. She had wanted nothing more in her life than to be a good cop. As a homicide detective in New York City, life was challenging enough, but for Pezzini those were simpler times. While on an undercover case at the Rialto Theater, both She and her partner (named Michael Yee in the comics and Danny Woo in the TV series) were mortally wounded. At this same theater was a man named Kenneth Irons, who had brought a gauntlet known as the Witchblade. Irons was in search of the secrets to unlocking its power. While Pezzini was breathing in her last breath, the Witchblade made its choice to include her in the long line of women that it has shared its power with. The mystic artifact healed her wounds, and allowed her to survive the resulting confrontation. Since then, she has seen many things she never knew existed, fought creatures that have no place on Earth, and longed for the days of a typical NYPD detective. But she continues her struggle with the Witchblade, beliveing that she can do more good with the weapon than without. So the battle for control continues, as Pezzini learns more about this mysterious artifact of power, and struggles to stem its violent nature.
In the comics, some of Pezzini's allies include the Magdalena, Lara Croft, and Jackie Estacado. One crossover pitted her against Wolverine. In the comics recently, she has been through a grueling ordeal fighting off a giant demon (a false "god" summoned by a group of priests), in the midst of which left her partner, Jake McCarthy, wounded. Before losing consciousness he professed his love for her and told her that he always knew about her double life. He now remains in a coma, and Pezzini has had to deal with a nosy new partner, Detective Gleason, who has already discovered many of her secrets. Gleason saved her life and it had begun to look like they may become more than just partners, but their date was interrupted when Ian Nottingham abruptly returned to Sara's life.
The Witchblade itself is a sentient weapon described in the series as "a branch torn from the tree of good and evil." In the comics, the Witchblade (and its male counterpart Excalibur) is described as the "bastard offspring" of the cosmic forces of the Darkness ("evil" and "chaos") and Angelus ("good" and "order"), and therefore acts as a force of balance. The Witchblade requires a host to make it whole, and chooses one every generation.
