Sara Pezzini is an NYPD homicide detective whose life changed when she came into contact with a powerful and ancient weapon known as the Witchblade, which bestows its wielder with impressive powers.

Biography Sara Pezzini was born November 18, 1970, and is of Italian descent. Her major enemies are Kenneth Irons (whom she briefly dated before discovering his evil nature) and Ian Nottingham (sometime love-interest and ally). Sara 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 Sara, those were simpler times. While on an undercover case at the Rialto Theater, both she and her partner, Michael Yee, 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 full power and ability. While Sara lay dying, the Witchblade made his choice to include her in the long line of women that he has shared his power with. The entity healed Sara's 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, believing that she can do more good with the entity than without. So, the battle for control continues, as Sara learns more about this entity and struggles to stem his violent nature. Sara has recently been through a grueling ordeal fighting off a giant demon (a false "god" summoned by a group of priests), in the midst of which her partner, Jake McCarthy, was left wounded. Before losing consciousness, Jake professed his love for Sara and told her that he always knew about her double life. He now remains in a coma, and Sara has had to deal with a nosy new partner, Patrick Gleason, who has already discovered many of her secrets.

Personality Sara is a strong, determined, and mature woman. One of her defining characteristics is her black-and-white view of the world and of people, something that many characters have called her out on.

Powers Witchblade: As the host/wielder of the Witchblade, she has been granted a wide array of abilities. Shapeshifting: With the help of Wichblade, Sara can form various weapons (swords, other stabbing weapons, hooks, chains, shields) and generate a full body armor in order to protect herself. Should the situation arise, she can also form wings, allowing for flight. She can also fire projectile darts, and whip-like grapples to attack or climb. Superhuman Strength: The Witchblade increases Sara's natural strength to superhuman levels. She is strong enough to overpower humans and fight supernatural beings and creatures. Sara can even match an empowered Jackie Estacado in his Darkness armor. Invulnerability: The Witchblade's armor makes its host immune to most physical attacks, including bullets and intense trauma. Its hosts are also immune to heat, fire and acid. Superhuman Endurance: The Witchblade increases Sara's endurance, letting her survive extreme amounts of damage that would prove to be fatal to ordinary humans. Pyrokinesis: Sara can emit and shoot fire balls from her palms. The blasts are strong enough to punch a hole through a medium-sized Darkling. Tactile-Healing: The Witchblade can be used to heal the wounds and cure the illnesses of Sara or other creatures. Ambient Empathy: The Witchblade can show Sara scenes of great trauma, and allow the host to relive experiences from past hosts as dreams. Incorporeal Damage: The Witchblade is also known to be able to damage incorporeal beings and is capable of slaying other-dimensional entities and deities.
