Mercy (The Warriors)

Mercy is the girlfriend of the Warriors' Warlord Swan, ex-girlfriend of the Orphans' Warlord Sully, and previously a prostitute for his gang. She was played and voiced by Deborah Van Valkenburgh.
== Description ==
Mercy first appears in the movie wearing a sheer pink tank top, a floral skirt, and a heart-shaped necklace. She later steals a dark blue jacket to wear, while on the run from the police.
== Personality ==
According to the film's website, Mercy was a young prostitute dating the Orphans' leader, Sully, so she would have a place to stay under a gang's protection. She demonstrates that she has no respect for the Orphans, however, as she is quick to inform The Warriors where they can find Sully, and even mocks Sully to his face. She generally seems content on living one day at a time, not caring who she sleeps with or what the future has in store for her. Swan rejects her at first, since she doesn't respect herself.
== Film ==
She leaves the Orphans for the Warriors when the gangs meet in Tremont, pursuing Swan in particular. At first she is just looking for sex, but a relationship between Mercy and Swan eventually blossoms.
== Game ==
Mercy is seen in the game at all times she was seen in the movie, and additionaly in an early mission where she tells the Warriors where they can find Sully's car. After the Warriors return home, she can be seen in their hangout.
== Novel ==
In the novel, a girl who was with the Borinquen Blazers decides to follow the Coney Island Dominators after an encounter, but the Dominators end up gang-raping her and leaving her behind. In both of these situations, the girl initially tries to stir up the gang by asking for their insignia: Mercy asks for a Warriors' vest, and the Blazers' girl asks for a Dominators' pin. In the movie, Swan threatens to have the gang "pull a train" on Mercy at one point (a possible reference to the novel).
== Jailbreak ==
After the events of the movie, Mercy moves into an apartment with money from her sugar daddy. But, after she is evicted when her sugar daddy finds out about her relationship with the Warriors, she moves back to Coney to live with Swan.
== Fighting Ability ==
Mercy is not a strong fighter, typically depending on gangs to protect her, but proves willing to stand by them, despite her lack of skill, as she insists on following the Warriors onto the beach near the end of the movie (armed with a broken bottle).
