Bloodlust

**Bloodlust** is the polar opposite of Alissandre Crowe's timid Night Breeze persona, sporting a far more ruthless persona, perfectly paired with a short temper and a predilection for killing, establishing a horrific reputation as the renegade's *Red-haired Fury,* murdering people here and there. This was later efficiently undone by her unexpected betrayal in the renegades, demonstrating that she can help others, but only on her terms.

Alissandre ultimately redeemed herself, including Nightfall when they are placed into the custody of the Clemirosans and has been given a chance to change their lives for the better good. She took this by heart, as Madeleine has become in loved with her, and their relationship proves that, no one can stop them if they fight together.

A prodigy of a known terrorist and a valued member, she has experienced so much death and agony in her childhood that it has filled her with hate and a desire for vengeance. Despite this, Alissandre has betrayed her own evil lineage and greatly attempts to become a far better person who yearns for something better. As a result, she has emerged as a hero from her violent past and carries a sense of redemption and responsibility.

## Biography

### Background

For **Bloodlust**'s detailed background, see either *Night Breeze* or *Like Father, Like Daughter*.

### Anti-Corporations

#### Familial Confessions

To cut a long story short, Alissandre got into a fight with Madeleine, losing and injuring himself in the process. She is then imprisoned alongside Benjamin Timewatcher in the heroes' headquarters. As expected, she attempted to mend her relationship with Madeleine, who refused to speak with her after realising she had been heartbroken by her own betrayal against the heroes. The entire reason for her incarceration was that she provided information about the legionnaires' future operations, putting them in danger and costing her own loyalty in their ranks, effectively making her a traitor.

Nevertheless, she had a normal life inside the cell, normal, but mundane.

##### Life in a Cell

Now imprisoned in the NEW/G headquarters' cells, Alissandre is disarmed and has faced some scrutiny from her former allies. As a result, she has threatened some of them, even attempting to assault them, which only worked briefly, as Fiona Vance later reprimanded her for the commotion. She demands food, which Fiona only granted her request after deducing her hidden motives. Alissandre has spent the days in her cell, mundane but calm. Life without Madeleine feels very bland for her, and regretting the fact that she killed innocent people, but she bears new allegiance

Life had been peaceful since Madeleine cut off touch with Alissandre and merely monitored her in the cell without saying anything or having a private visit. Ordinary but serene. She could finally breathe without worrying about exploding every time Madeleine looked at her. Her heart still ached for her former best friend, especially because she missed Madeleine for so much more than simply her company. She loved the way Madeleine used to look after her, how she used to assist her while they were fighting as heroes, how they could make fun of each other, how she helped Madeleine cope with the loss of her mother, their continuous jokes between the two of them, and so much more.

Alissandre had been on the decision of speaking with Madeleine so many times but she knew the time was for her to reflect on her actions.

##### Finally, A Conversation

Alissandre sits patiently in her chair, restrained. When Madeleine entered the room, her complaints about how restrictive it is are silenced. She noticed her with a bag, but she has a serious expression on her face. Despite her attempts to lighten her former friend's mood, she refuses to budge and decides to get straight to the point. In true Alissandre fashion, she is obstinate and tries to persuade the latter to stop, despite the fact that she jeopardised their friendship and met her father, which destroyed everything and her allegiance to the heroes.

Alissandre has effectively ended their friendship, according to Madeleine. The latter attempts to shift the blame to her and chastises her for preferring to fight alone. Madeleine stands up and slams her leg against the table, leaving a dent as she realises she is correct. Alissandre then mocks her for doing everything she could to be as capable as her mother, to which the latter only admits that she worked hard to fill her mother's shoes and be a hero, regardless of how the world perceives it. When Templar Vanguard was brought into the conversation, the entire fuss becomes worse. Alissandre stood up, only to be restrained back to her chair due to the equipment that prevents her from fleeing.

Unable to say anything, she relents and now asks for forgiveness and a possible redemption. Unfortunately, Madeleine still refused to accept her request and refused to release, and their private interrogation concludes with a confirmation that they are no *longer* friends, earning her shock. She does, however, prepare a special meal for her that she can eat later, seemingly as her peace offering. Alissandre then accepts the food, earning a wary smile as she returns to her cell.

Alissandre did however, managed to sneak in a knife made of True Ice to a box that she gave her, intending to surprise her in a secret attempt to reconcile their friendship and become heroes together again. Fiona was able to learn of her actions and seriously warns her for the box she gave to Madeleine, knowing that she may have a plan to escape.

### Unshakeable Revelation

#### Prelude - Seduction

Knowing that her secret plan to "repair" her relationship with Madeleine is going to work, she dodges all the attempts of Fiona Vance to send her to the G/ARCHIVE prison. As a result, on a certain private interrogation session, she suggests that Benjamin Timewatcher should be freed, having learned of his true background and loss of his memory. Vance takes note, but is not impressed with her. She later gives her a seductive blink that did nothing but to irritate Fiona.

Later, she sneakily stole a cloning device and placed a fully identical clone in her cell, and managed to find Madeleine's room. As she had planned to fall in love with her former "best friend" in order to repair their relationship, Madeleine later comes in her room, not noticing her as she simply unloads her belongings and looks at her recent bruises in the mirror. Realising that Alissandre is in the room, wearing nothing but skimpy clothes, she briefly pulls out the Ice Knife, much to her own terror.

Thankfully, Madeleine returns the knife to the shelf and approaches her, puzzled as to why Alissandre has suddenly changed her attitude and behaviour from her usual ruthless self. Without warning, she leaps and grabs Madeleine like a child onto his/her father's shoulders as the latter stands in front of the bed, possibly still angry at her betrayal. As expected, they had an argument before finally sealing their union. They slowly undressed and shrouded themselves with the blankets.

While Madeleine is in bed with her, she declares that falling in love is a weakness, claiming that it can bring shame to her own mother, and Alissandre appears to be loyal to the enemy. She urges her to be silent, wanting to enjoy the moment as she intends on using an intercourse to repair their relationship and become together. Though Alissandre is annoyed by her words, she simply silences her by kissing and later having an intercourse.

They slept naked in the night until Madeleine abruptly vanished before her discretion. Fiona Vance was furious when she discovered the woman in the cell was merely a holographic projection. As soon as Madeleine gets out of bed, Fiona throws her Alissandre in the cell and chastises her for being deceitful. The traitor shrugs and suggests that she instead free Benjamin Timewatcher, who appears to be useful if the base is under attack.

#### Compromised - Scattered

Alissandre later gets a visit from Madeleine in her cell. The latter apologises for everything, which is why she extended her hands into her, and the prodigy accepts, then embraced. However, realising the base is under attack, she wished Madeleine good luck and kissed, then she rushes away to gear up. However, she felt something feels wrong. Realising that she still had hacked S.O.L.A.C.E's software, nothing but unshakeable fear comes in her eyes. A superweapon is right on top of the base, ready to fire.

She wonders if the renegades are literally insane. If the weapon fires at their base, she will almost certainly be killed. When the CHIMERA fires, it kills all Panamoan military forces outside while somehow sparing the renegades and S.O.L.A.C.E. The Renegades reunite with her, including Templar Vanguard, confirming that she is ready. She even cried as they left because she thought Madeleine was dead when she saw her unconscious. Alissandre later walked out of the base as they boarded an airship to fly to Na'Raka, Vanguard intending to introduce her to the renegades at the base.

#### New Loyalties

Bloodlust, now a recognised member of the Corporate Renegades, spreads terror throughout Avarshi as they seek to take control of the country, and with the help of S.O.L.A.C.E; they are able to halt any OMAR-CONSTRUCT presence in the country. As they all try to recreate the SUPREME headquarters, bloodlust helps them establish a defined territory. SCODOK detected her and identified her as the woman who had hacked into their software. Templar Vanguard confronts him, declaring that the heroes have messed up her mind. Notably, she killed a few Iceborn warriors, presumably affiliated to tribe Voriani, or Clementia.

Bloodlust has forgotten she is a hero, and she become a renegade filled with pride, ruthlessness and vengeance. Despite her best efforts, two things become clear to her: her feelings for Madeleine are still there and the fact that Frostvile is untouchable despite their best efforts.

#### Like Father, Like Daughter

Templar Vanguard and Bloodlust have located The Trinity on the country, curious to why they are present in the freezing cold. Tracking their position to Cho'Vai, Lunar Frost's home, they are met with resistance from local forces, and realised that the Aryaine Kingdom has sent protection in the nation. However, this does not stop them and they both killed numerous soldiers with immense ferocity. They notably crossed paths with the tribe of Clementia, daring them not to cross. Bloodlust insults them and proceeds to kill a few, but Vanguard pulls her away after realising that they have been set up by someone.

It was Khalsa. Not knowing that Ashe's tribe is still going strong, the Corporate Renegades refused to give up and attempted to seize control of Frostvile, which only ended up with more than a thousand casualties, therefore, it is futile for them to control Avarshi, without S.O.L.A.C.E's help as the latter is handling both the Panamoan Republic and Aryaine Kingdom at the same time.

#### Possible Reconcilement

As the Corporate Renegades have been rampaging in Avarshi, and S.O.L.A.C.E has managed to occupy a quarter of the Panamoan Republic, Bloodlust takes advantage of their newfound control of the planet and seeks to find Madeleine, whatever the cost. In return, she managed to find Skullface in Avarshi and fought him Hand-to-hand combat. Despite her apparent size and strength disadvantage, she managed to mortally wound him, with knives.

#### The Next Warmother

##### Capture of a Prodigy

Stationed in Vuraki, Bloodlust was ordered to kill Lunar Frost by Templar Vanguard, who overruled Salazar Progektö's order. Their goal is to capture her and question her about the whereabouts of the legionnaires, allowing her to see her girlfriend one more time. She plans to get her out of their headquarters if she is ever captured and tortured, knowing that they both still have feelings for each other. When she had enough of her comrades torturing her, she takes the lead and exploits their interrogation by using the spare time in the assigned room to reconcile with each other.

##### Double Agent's Elaborate Plan

Even though Madeleine was doubtful of her allegiance, they successfully reconciled. It demonstrates that she loved her despite her flaws and shortcomings. Alissandre admits she wanted to release her and promises to be careful and return to her soon, despite the fact that they have been in a relationship for quite some time but are not engaged. When the day arrived for her to be released after tricking the renegades, they kissed and wished each other well. Madeleine knew she loved her despite her flaws and errors. Later, Alissandre demands that she be hardly kicked in the stomach so that the escape appears "realistic" rather than the act of a renegade that she pulled.

Though Madeleine is hesitant to inflict harm to her, she does it anyways to knock her down and make it look convincing to the renegades. She falls to the floor, coughing as she is winded and smiles at the effective act, before losing consciousness and the renegades later find her. Templar Vanguard was far more than displeased to see her unconscious when Iceborn warriors have breached the base and rescued Lunar Frost.

As she awoke, she managed to stay undetected regarding her betrayal. Obsidian Rush inquired her about what happened, which she simply replied by confirming that she was knocked out after the prodigy spoke the "truth". When the renegades leave her as they wanted her to stay at base to avoid another similar incident, she managed to message Skullface, confirming that the prodigy has been released.

She wasn't caught, however. Not even her father knows.

##### War in the Northern lands

Bloodlust was disturbed when the Legion was reformed as she privately rejoiced Madeleine's escape. Obsidian Rush swiftly urges her to fight, despite the fact that their headquarters have been damaged after the Panamoan military has attacked it, despite the attack ending in a stalemate. Nightfall then tells her to gear up quickly, mocking her that falling in love isn't part of renegade culture. She shrugs and braces herself.

As Bloodlust marches alongside the entirety of the renegades as they intend to negotiate with the tribe of Clementia, she carries multiple knives with her in case she sees an opportunity to reunite with Madeleine. When Salazar Progektö attempts to have a deal with their negotiations, she knew the tribe would simply reject their offer, knowing that her own group would simply use Frostvile in order to kill more people. Alissandre knew she need to do something against them, in order to reconcile with her, even if she is a different person that she used to.

When the meeting ends in a disaster, she saw the new Madeleine, dressed in white and is able to fight Salazar Progektö. However, despite their more advanced weaponry, they are forced to retreat after Madeleine gets hurt from Salazar, with the tribe launching spears and arrows of True Ice, with Nightfall attempting to snap her out of her "shell shock" (Which in reality is just genius acting). However, she was too late to save Nightfall as an arrow is then impaled to her stomach, forcing her to limp away. Bloodlust saw the chance and quickly runs away in a flash, without suspicion. Templar Vanguard then declares her daughter is missing.

Later on, Templar Vanguard catches up with her, but Salazar Progektö is seen with Fiona Vance. Vanguard sees her eagerness to fight the Legionnaire leader, but chooses to let her go away, As she has expected, her father loses against Fiona and the latter is about to stab him in the heart, but she interrupts, demanding a fight.

##### Bloodlust v the Duelist

Bloodlust's face is filled with hatred as the two women meet, and she pulls out her knives towards Fiona. Interesting coincidence. This was due to seeing her almost killing her own father, allowing her to run at her and attempt to use Hand-to-hand combat, only for her to fail as Fiona Vance took her down quickly with a few kicks. It took her a while before she got up and pulled out her knives to even the odds. Much to her surprise, Fiona puts away her sword.

She longed for the day when she may kill Fiona Vance, claiming that she failed to save Madeleine from her "death" (despite the fact that she plainly did not inform Fiona about seeing her prior). Fiona then points out that she isn't to blame for being away from them and abandoning her legion. Without further ado, both ladies fight, all while yelling disparaging statements at each other, with Fiona citing her commitment to the renegades as an example, and Alissandre stating that she would have felt like an outsider in the legion if it weren't for Madeleine.

Alissandre is later disarmed and put in a chokehold. Fiona asks that she give up and be imprisoned, but the renegade assassin refuses since she knows she will have to see Madeleine again. She breaks free after hitting Fiona more than enough times in the stomach, putting her down to the ground, coughing in annoyance. Fiona coldly and logically replies to her, regarding their relationship. Alissandre shrugs and angrily confirms that is she gets hurt, Madeleine is there to protect her, in case she ends up being outmatched, as Fiona has demonstrated. She even taunted Fiona for not being as tough as Madeleine, despite sharing the same height, which she points out that she is "too slender, a little soft".

Fiona then snarks at her and Alissandre screamed as she was about to be stabbed, if not for Madeleine to interrupt, all while dropkicking her to the face. Madeleine asks her to let her finish the fight, which she then kissed her to the temple before seeking to fight her own former, leader. **Bloodlust** then demands a kiss to the lips if the entire thing is over and they both survived. She received no response, much to her laughter.

Alissandre understood that if the war in the Northern lands ended, she could revert Madeleine's new personality to her kinder self. Despite the fact that the latter had developed a strict, cold new demeanour, Alissandre understood it was still the frosty, eager, and enthusiastic Madeleine.

#### New Heroes, Another Ultimatum

> "Madeleine changed me for the better good. Now is the time to return the favour."
>
> - Alissandre's redemption quote.

##### Prelude

Bloodlust was declared missing by the Corporate Renegades, however she is still alive and was taken into captivity by the tribe of Clemirosa. As a result, she was able to lead a relatively regular life. She was well aware that "Clementia" was simply an anglicised rendition of the tribe's name. Despite being in detention, she is treated well and is given enough food every day, and her cells are designed to keep her entertained. Nightfall, much to her surprise, has been captured at the same location. As she is craving to see her girlfriend, her wish is granted after seeing her having a conversation through a window.

Due to this, she forgot her desire to kill Skullface and her ruthlessness in the field. Realising that her relationship with Madeleine is intimate, with the latter fully embracing it despite her tight schedule as a Warmother, Alissandre knows that she needs to change for her, in order to become better.

##### The Calm Before the Storm

Alissandre was living a normal life under the custody of tribe Clemirosans. She also got close to Nightfall, whom appeared to have a grudge to Madeleine as her tribe is accountable for her boyfriend's death. The two got into a verbal argument until Nightfall loses and reveals her name, even removing her mask for her to see in the first time ever. Adrianne then asks her to have a conversation with the Warmother, knowing that she has no excuse to refuse a simple request.

Madeleine latter offered them the chance to use their skills to train the younger members of her tribe, but Adrianne rejects it, stating that Dark Python was killed by the tribe, taunting to beat her up the moment she is alone. Clearly, Alissandre was not impressed by her words, but her girlfriend delivered a perfect counter argument. After the argument has been settled, Bloodlust clearly took advantage of the free time, pulling the Warmother someplace private for her own intentions.

Alissandre took advantage of the time and they both ended up having sex. Needless to say, they did not undress, knowing that her duties as a Warmother may be compromised if they are caught doing so. She understands how busy her girlfriend is on her position, trying to accept the fact that being a leader of a tribe and being a lover are two different things.

Meanwhile, Adrianne has enough of having no interactions at all and demands to know what is going on. Alissandre confirms that the renegades are still out there, awaiting for them, which Madeleine asks them to stay alert. Turns out, the tribe's main base they are currently in, is merely a kilometre away from a suspicious area, which Adrianne then reveals that it is due to a secret base, an identical one to the Inner Haven.

She even had been invited to eat dinner with the Clemirosans, all before they rest so that she can prepare to redeem herself, for the free world, and her girlfriend, Madeleine.

##### Preluding the Finale

Alissandre awoke from a nightmare, but Madeleine instantly hugs her and declares that she will be her warmth, as the renegade assassin admits to feeling cold, implying that the temperatures are gradually affecting her. Encouraged by her loving words and a hug, she suddenly sees Nightfall in the outside, with a sniper weapon on her hand. Alissandre, now dressed as Bloodlust, volunteered to be her spotter, which was quickly accepted as Nightfall shot at the renegades, who were all armed with sniper rifles and aimed at the tribe's base. This can only mean one of two things: the renegades fighting against the Clemirosans and their allies, or the entire globe watching to see who wins.

She has a lot of things in her mind regarding on what to do with her girlfriend, Madeleine; Intending to level up their relationship, should they survive.

##### Salazar's True Power

Alissandre used her skills to spot for Adrianne, allowing her to rack up her kills after blowing Sinister Teeth's head blown off. When she only spots, she then took a .50 caliber machine gun hidden from somewhere and lets loose, getting her own kills in the process, before returning to spot for Nightfall as she gives the Clemirosans a chance to use the huge gun. They later split up from Madeleine, who asks her to keep up the good fight, while splits up from her. She got teased by Adrianne, which earned her chagrin and Madeleine laughs in response, all before they went separate ways.

Bloodlust then lives to her namesake, albeit in a good way. She later had to deal with Mimeographer, only to become defeated in mere seconds and the tribe managed to witness the duel between Lunar Frost and Mimeographer. She was horrified to see her girlfriend being stabbed, which she was the one who used all of her strength to pull her into safety, and the tribe was ready to give her the herbs necessary to keep her alive. Fiona was able to witness and hear her words, to which she did nothing but to glare at the Legion's commander, warning her to do her thing instead of watching.

##### Fiona v Phantom

Alissandre later watched the fight between Fiona Vance and Phantom Wolf. Safe to say, she had conflicts on her perspective against her, but ultimately changed her views on her.

##### Salazar's Clear End

She hid from Salazar's sights when Fiona Vance has challenged him to a duel. Much to her satisfaction, he lost and was left for dead. In fact, she threw a bucket of snow on his face to prevent him from seeing anything. Bloodlust hasn't done much afterwards, but her presence has made a reasonable impact in their victory.

Fiona was able to confront her and they were able to settle things, but she refused to surrender herself before leaving.

##### Madeleine's Out of Combat

Alissandre was given the honour of carrying the wounded Madeleine back into the base, skillfully keeping her alive as they managed to use many carriages to ease their travels as they returned to the base, knowing the Clemirosans, Legionnaires, and Panamoan military had triumphed over the renegades. When they returned, they realised she needed all the rest she could get, but the Clemirosans chose her and Adrianne to protect her in the bed. Adrianne then left, telling her that she respected her and the tribe before spending time around a campfire.

### Anticipated Recovery

Alissandre was reading more about Madeleine's family and expected her to wake up, earning her joy. She advised her not to get out of bed, as the tribe wished her a long recovery. Knowing that they are in a relationship, the Clemirosans sent the former renegade assassin to spend the night with her. Madeleine was skeptical of her enthusiasm and happiness, which she jokingly responded by pinching her cheek, asking her to cheer up. Madeleine however, held her wrist. She smirks in a flirting manner, before she gently pushed her as they kissed intimately, sealing their union. They ended sleeping in the same bed, wherein Adrianna was able to see it, but she chose to leave them or privacy.

She was overjoyed, to the point of spending the entire time in the bedroom cuddling in bed, before she got out in order to avoid provoking Ashe's parents. Alissandre's newfound personality and her relationship with her is responsible for her girlfriend having a far quicker recovery than anticipated, relieved that Madeleine is strong enough to survive being stabbed with an energy sword.

They spent their honeymoons in the base, without any traces of boredom or grudge against anyone. Alissandre admits that she grows a little bored over the excessive cold of the Northern lands, which Madeleine promised to take her all over the planet, should the face of danger finally slip away.

Alissandre, however, had other plans as well. She intends to marry her.

### True Ultimatum

Alissandre was having a happy life with both Madeleine and Adrianne, growing close together, while she respected Madeleine's duty as a Warmother. Notably, she had the audacity to have sex with her, and enjoyed the opportunity to travel all across the planet to spend the best time of their own precious honeymoon, still, she is aware of an unknown threat.

#### Honeymoon, Again

Madeleine was clearly recovering faster than expected, and Alissandre has been longing for her to take her to various parts of the planet, as the extreme cold of Avarshi tested her limits on the temperatures within the country. Alissandre was aware that the Clemirosans were opposed to the romance, but she was relieved when they quickly accepted it after witnessing her caring for the Warmother and their intimacy. Adrianne eventually joined them, but she urged her to protect them and not ruin the moment, as Madeleine and Alissandre later had sex. Adrianne was able to protect them from being observed by outsiders during their intercourse.

Alissandre then obtained a private jet and a pilot, much to Madeleine's surprise, and they travelled to the Panamoan Republic, Evalka, Losteria, Valenthia, and the Aryaine Kingdom, knowing that this was their final destination, they made the most of their time. There was one memorable scene in which Alissandre beats up a man after a failed robbery in a cafe where they were having a coffee date. Madeleine was unimpressed and laughed at her as she sipped her coffee calmly. They later went stargazing somewhere.

Adrianne later found them and reminded them of the prison visit. Though both of them has admitted that they do not know the location of the G/ARCHIVE. The latter smiles at them both, earning their curiosity. Adrianne admits that she is a Monterissan, and would obviously know every location, earning their praise. When they arrived in the prison, the guards nodded at them with respect, but the personnel are cautiously eyeing, knowing that she is Luis' daughter.

When she is outside of Templar Vanguard's cell, Madeleine and Adrianne informed her that the guards have now given her the opportunity to speak with him in the interrogation room, which Alissandre ordered them to stay put, wanting to speak with him first, then both of them should be next. Alissandre stood firm and now approaches the door to face her own father. It is evident that she still loved him, but his loyalty to the renegades has jeopardised their relationship.

#### Vanguard's Visit

Alissandre has told them both to stick to her plan no matter what. She had a serious attitude as she stood in front of her father, lacking her joy at seeing her own father. She appears hesitant to sit near him, but she eventually does so after weighing the consequences. Luis asked his daughter as she sat if her treachery on their ranks was worth it, to which she replied that she opened her eyes after becoming a cruel assassin, to which he reacted by verifying that she betrayed two sides twice, once with the Legionnaires and once with the renegades. He requests an explanation.

She relents, admitting that falling short in the Legion's standards, and joining their ranks made her feel welcomed, feared and respected. But as the time goes by, she points out that recklessly killing people isn't good, even having the confidence to speak that the Warmother has changed her for the better good. Both Madeleine and Adrianne nodded at her words as they stand outside carefully listening to the conversation. Luis is visibly angry when she mentioned the Iceborns, but he managed to control it, now demanding her to hold his hand, but she refused and left.

Alissandre then wished both of them good luck as they entered the same room for a quick conversation slash interrogation. Much to her surprise, it was nothing but full of insults to both women, earning her disapproval, knowing that their is nothing to redeem about her own father, choosing to accept the fact that Madeleine kicked him. Upon realising that he is going to be executed soon, she barged into the room and said her goodbye to her own father, before she pulls both women out of the room.

Taking a deep breath outside, Madeleine kissed her in the forehead, complimenting her for having the strength to confront her father for the last time, whilst Adrianne approved of her methods. When they saw Eion Brightblast looking at them after Vanguard glanced at him, they left. Adrianne pointed out that something huge is causing trouble in Avarshi, to which Madeleine had worried, making them go to their private jet and fly back towards Avarshi. It is clear, that she accepted how the interrogation unfolded, and her respect to the Iceborns.

She managed to snap Madeleine out of her thoughts when a threat is imminent that can potentially kill all of her own family.

#### Homecoming

As the trio returned to Avarshi, they swiftly returned to the Clemirosans, who were witnessing a terrible phenomenon just ahead of the horizon. Madeleine then reminds out that the war is over, but the aftermath is unfolding, while Adrianne admits that there is nothing else to do but prepare. Having followed the advice, the entire community has locked and loaded while she returns to use her codename again, this time obtaining a set of gear from an anonymous client, then proceeding to suit up. Clearly, she wanted to fight alongside Madeleine, knowing that she would always be there to protect her.

Bloodlust, Nightfall and the Warmother, Madeleine; All ready, to fight their biggest fight of their lives.

#### Iceborn Defence

Alissandre, Madeleine, and Adrianne have returned to the Clemirosan stronghold and are getting ready. She outdid herself by using her past hacking and technical abilities to develop electric barriers designed to electrocute any organic target and disable robotic or non-organic targets, as she wanted the majority of them to live and minimise losses. She was confident that it would work against LORD ANNIHILATOR's holographic army. Madeleine was willing to defend their base at any costs, whilst Adrianne appears to be determined to establish herself as a warrior now that her life has been altered for the better.

Alissandre saw Madeleine acting odd by napping in the middle of their preparations, so she asked Adrianne to hold her as she looked through binoculars at LORD ANNIHILATOR's deeds of destruction that would soon converge on their position. When Madeleine awakens, she comments on their preparations and rises to the top of her tribe to oversee everything after a speech. When the army approaches their position, both ladies remove Madeleine from the top to keep her from being shot, and Nightfall appears to be preparing to open fire, much to Alissandre's surprise, Madeleine orders them to hold their fire.

Alissandre glances at Madeleine for the traps she has placed, knowing that it would work well against the army.

## Personality

   As Madeleine's reliance to prove herself to be as capable as her mother, and her brief refusal to reveal her heritage, it triggered Alissandre's dark side, as she knows that best friends do not keep secrets. In the new codename of Bloodlust, she abandons a timid personality in favour of a vicious, snarky and ruthless personality that she has acquired due to becoming a newfound renegade member, intending to turn the tables against her former peers. This also made her more impatient and prone to losing her temper, as evidenced by her first fight with her best friend, which effectively ended their friendship.

Bloodlust, a ruthless killer who became infamous with a knife and her obsession for vengeance, has become a loyal renegade. Alissandre intends to kill anyone who stands in her way, except children and the defenceless. She appears to harbour a grudge against the NEW/G, seeking vengeance for their failure to save Madeleine after the base was destroyed. Notably, she competes with Nightfall in the renegades' operations, as the two clearly compete to prove who is better.

Alissandre believed that PROJECT had made the planet a better place because she had devoted herself to the renegade cause, despite the fact that the megacorporation had spread terror across nevanity until they were eventually defeated. Her relationship with her father solidified her allegiance to the Corporate Renegades, demonstrating to them that she is capable and would gladly kill as many as she could to establish herself as the renegades' red-hot assassin. As a result, she is idealistic and delusory.

Despite her newfound ruthlessness, Alissandre's feelings for Madeleine, the Iceborn heiress who has been her longest friend since childhood and is responsible for helping her cope with the loss of her mother, Ashe, their romance can potentially redeem her as a hero. She managed to make her open up her own thoughts and be open to her in times of need as they developed feelings for each other, which explains her desire to find her. Then there's the fact that she had a long-lasting impact in the NEW/G; without her efforts, S.O.L.A.C.E would've killed them inside their base, implying that she sabotaged the CHIMERA superweapon.

During the war on the Northern lands, Alissandre quickly revealed her softer side as she witnessed the Iceborn tribe Clemirosans attacking the group she serves with, the society responsible for mass killings and acts of terrorism since the beginning of the new era, forcing her to abandon them, when she knew the Clemirosans changed her, eventually siding alongside them. She purposely placed herself in the hands of clan Clemirosan in order to ponder on her wrongdoings, knowing that Madeleine will always have her back. Nightfall was also in Iceborn custody alongside her, and they eventually became friends.

Alissandre has become more peaceful, selfless, and inspiring since *True Ultimatum*. Though she still has a fierce temper, she is skilled enough to control it, allowing her to gain the respect of the Tribe of Clemirosa, and in return, she cherishes them because the tribe supports her, especially after the Warmother, Madeleine, transformed her life. Clearly, they have strengthened their intimate relationship more than ever, and nothing can tear them apart because they are all stronger together.

In fact, she intends to marry her, putting the Clemirosans under pressure to plan a wedding eventually. Not to mention, Alissandre isn't scared to show off her partner in public so that everyone knows she's in a relationship and can be trusted. Overall, Alissandre progressed from a jealous friend who fell short of being a hero, to a nasty murderer, to a redeemed hero after being welcomed into the Clemirosans, to a lover to her closest friend, allowing her to become a true warrior.

Last but not the least, she is obsessed with her knives and loves playing them.

As Bloodlust, she exchanges her skills in hacking to enhance her combat proficiency, being more fluent in the use of firearms and the ability to defend herself through Hand-to-hand combat. This was in stark contrast as Night Breeze, where she fell short on the Legion's standards despite her hacking and infiltration expertise. With that in mind, Bloodlust was meant to showcase a stronger, ruthless and more capable combatant than ever before.

### Skills

* **Master Combatant**: As Bloodlust, her reputation as a combatant increased tenfold. This was due to extensively training herself in Hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship and her speciality - knives. She is infamous for her knives, whenever she is unable to perform tactical attacks such as hacking and decrypting hardware. Templar Vanguard confirms that she is just as capable as him in terms of using a knife.

* **Master Spy**: Owing to her small size, ease of stealth and profanity of the night, she is naturally skilled spy. She is known to sneak into heavily guarded places, and get out of there without being caught or shot.

## Relationships

As the ruthless Bloodlust, she has developed new relationships with her fellow renegades as she rises to become one of their society's most respected and feared members. Her ties with the legionnaires, however, deteriorated as she became far more ruthless than before. This has no bearing on her relationship with Lunar Frost, as she has earned her acceptance and an intimate relationship.

When Alissandre completely defected from the renegades and becomes a highly unlikely member in the Tribe of Clemirosa, she has a change of heart and used the opportunity to do everything right, redeeming her to the point of being a hero, then a warrior. Madeleine was clearly pleased with her change, as with Adrianne.

### Templar Vanguard

Alissandre has a close bond with her father, Luis. As she grew up in his custody, she was able to learn how to survive and was taught pretty much everything she needed to know to adjust to the planet's immensely evolved society. She was heartbroken when he was "killed" from Skullface, her heart filled with hatred as she intended to murder Skullface in whatever way she could in order to avenge her father. After realising Luis was still alive and is now a devoted second-in-command of the renegades, Alissandre became a traitor on the Legion and swore loyalty to the renegades after reuniting with him. In exchange, she gained much-needed respect, becoming feared and revered among the renegades.

However, Alissandre subsequently realised that if she continues to serve the renegades, she will not be as good or different as him, which led to her treachery as she harboured affections for her former best friend, Madeleine. This explains why she was the mastermind of the Iceborn's breakout from their base, forcing herself into the custody of the Clemirosans when the renegades failed to negotiate the takeover of Frostvile with the tribe. As a result, Madeleine's capture was merely designed to change their lives.

When Luis got incarcerated, Alissandre opened her eyes against him and turned on him, saying her last goodbye as she knew he will be executed for his crimes. Nevertheless, Madeleine following her deal of only capturing her father rather than be killed in combat was fulfilled.

### **Lunar Frost**

Alissandre and Madeleine clearly have the most extraordinary relationship. Alissandre has effectively forced then made Madeleine fall in love with her after they went from inseparable childhood friends to bitter enemies to an intimate relationship, freely declaring that she is a lesbian. As a result, Alissandre is always with her, knowing that she is always safe with her.

#### Before the Betrayal

Alissandre have grown close with Madeleine together when they were kids. This was due to Alissandre being left alone after her father was seemingly killed by Skullface. To alleviate and help her cope with the loss of her own father, Madeleine took care of her and she looked up to her, sharing a great bond comparable to siblings who would be always be there for one another. Notably, Alissandre pokes fun at her by punching her in the stomach, which obviously irritated Madeleine, but she grew used to her hitting her stomach.

Alissandre returned the favour when they grew older. Alissandre was the one who stayed by Madeleine's side and comforted her as she grieved the loss of her mother, Ashe, and father, Ragkoul. Moreover, the two tends to visit Ashe's tomb to pay their respects, with Alissandre remarking that Madeleine spends a lot of time at the tomb staring at her mother's resting place. It is true that she is the one who inspired the latter to begin her footsteps as a rising hero who will soon assume her position in the Iceborn tribe of Clemirosans.

When Madeleine became the Lunar Frost and established her place in the NEW/G, Alissandre felt envy of her, so Madeleine decided to bring her to the Legion to prove herself. Contrary to her best friend's expectations, she fell short of the Legion's standards and this foreshadows her betrayal, that soon forced Madeleine to become more adamant than ever.

Madeleine refusing to elaborate more about her family lowkey annoys her.

#### Betrayal

As she felt her hacking efforts were not enough for the NEW/G and even Fiona herself, Alissandre has decided to stay under the radar, sabotaging the Legion by downloading their current operations that will be conducted in the future, and sending it to the Corporate Renegades. When younger Legionnaires caught her, she killed them and escaped, having agreed to meet her own father in Ruj. As they met and she was offered a place in the renegades, she was overjoyed as the vicious group will allow her to express more of herself, kill more and showcase how skilled she is, Madeleine later caught her, and their friendship falls apart. This also marked her new appearance's meaning, not just for the looks, but for her new personality.

As a result, the two childhood friends exchanged a series of insults, and Alissandre claims that she refused to expound on her family, claiming that it is not wrong to disclose it. However, things have only gotten worse, and a brawl has broken out. Despite Madeleine's vastly better combat abilities and physical strength, Alissandre's rage paired with her knife expertise allowed her to almost match her. Alissandre's friendship with Madeleine collapsed when she made her bleed with a drop of blood, and she regretted hurting her when she tasted Madeleine's furious kick. As she is being captured, it is clear that she regrets the fight before being imprisoned in their facility.

Alissandre's anger for her childhood friend turned enemy intensified as she went eight months without touch or a one-on-one talk with her. Madeleine rationalised her prolonged absence by stating that what she had done would never be forgotten, and after a conversation after months had passed, Alissandre began to have a neutral view of her, but she retained her hatred for Fiona. Alissandre, knowing her abilities in stealing and infiltration, proceeds to steal a knife of True Ice somehow and present it to Madeleine, who accepts it, unaware that it was Alissandre's plan to reconcile their friendship.

#### Redemption

In her clever way to repair their relationship, Alissandre has fallen in love with Madeleine, and she still had feelings for her despite their inevitable separation, as the base was lost to the hands of S.O.L.A.C.E. As they were only a couple for a short time, it is clear that she was the best person to be with her, not wanting her to die or be lost, as evidenced by her quest to find her in Avarshi, even if it meant helping the enemy. She lost her envy for her when Madeleine became a *Warmother* and began to admire her as a leader and her girlfriend. Even if the latter communicates with her infrequently as her tribe fights the renegades, they did so on purpose so that Alissandre would not be suspicious at her own group. Still, if the war was done, she wanted to do a lot of things with her, such as stargazing, sex, and having the time of their lives.

When Madeleine is wounded and is currently recovering, Alissandre never spent a day without her. She has used the time to have intercourse and do everything to make her better, while keeping the promise to bring her to Vanguard for a conversation in the prison. Though Alissandre will only converse with him one last time, as she knows a vicious criminal like him would be executed on the G/ARCHIVE soon.

Clearly, Madeleine pardoned her crimes according to the Clemirosans.

#### Post-True Ultimatum: Future Wife

As the new Warmother, Madeleine, has saved her and the Clemirosans' lives yet again, Alissandre has enjoyed her time with her partner thus far, yearning to cuddle with her on the bed every night, which she usually gets when the latter has fully completed handling her obligations. Furthermore, Alissandre will never hurt her again since she knows their reconciliation and engagement is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that she intends to cherish indefinitely. Notably, Alissandre takes advantage of Madeleine's love of coffee by occasionally gifting her one should she demand it or when she feels down. She notes that her love of coffee was to contrast her origins of being an Iceborn born in a frigid country, concluding that it gives her warmth.

Regardless of their intimate relationship, Alissandre has maintained her amusing habit of hitting Madeleine in the stomach repeatedly, even though it clearly does not hurt her but rather makes her laugh or respond in annoyance. As a result, Madeleine tends to return the favour and hits her in the abdomen for fun, clearly annoyed and thrilled when Madeleine made her taste her own medicine. This is a hilarious example of Alissandre not taking it lightly when someone uses her own antics against her.

They are inseparable when it comes to war. Alissandre confirms that if she had to rely on one person to keep herself alive, it would be Madeleine since she knows she can always protect her. This demonstrates that they not only sincerely love each other, but also have faith in each other's ability as warriors.

### **Nightfall**

Bloodlust and Nightfall are extremely similar and are constantly at odds. The two frequently spar in their spare time, wanting to prove who is the better renegade, which even extends to their operations. Nightfall would happily strike her in the stomach to keep her disciplined, which only irritated her. Years later, Alissandre managed to reveal her real name and is able to strike a friendship. As a result, the two shared mutual respect and believes that they they should stick together.

They both consider each other to be sisters. Alissandre clearly looks up to her and often seeks her counsel, admiring her wisdom as she strives to better herself. Adrianne was thrilled with her being as honest as she is with her lover, and she has shown her support for their relationship. Not to mention, Alissandre's habit to pick random fights against wicked individuals in metropolitan locations made Adrianne very protective of her, much to her dismay, playfully seeing her as a "mom".

### Fiona Vance

Fiona and Alissandre has shown disdain for each other since then, though she has begrudging respect for the leader when she was a hero back then. However, their animosity grew worse when she became Bloodlust, even desiring to kill her for not being able to save Madeleine from the base's destruction. Due to this, she has no qualms on beating her up close in Hand-to-hand combat or to slit her throat should the opportunity ever rise.

They later solved their differences during New Heroes, Another Ultimatum. However, the latter has shown dislike for her decision, and is looking forward to having a conversation with her. In fact, Alissandre calls her "Mean tall giraffe", should they ever had a one-on-one conversation.

### **Chaos EXO**

Bloodlust is said to be Douglas' best friend, as proven by their daily chats in and out of combat, she is reported to be. She regards him as "stupid" because of his impatience and ferocity in fight, jumping around to slam people from the air with his exoskeleton. When he was killed, she simply looked at him momentarily, with little regret or feelings remaining, implying that their friendship was primarily forced and she was threatened if she didn't become close.

## Trivia

### General

* Alissandre accepts her new lifestyle and found happiness again after officially joining the Tribe of Clemirosa. Not only that, but she revels in her redeemed status. She no longer has to be with someone to control her emotions or her temptation, as she is now more level headed.
* Bloodlust is known for her viciousness and her aggression. Notably, her knives are her specialties, having an endless arsenal, regardless if carried or concealed. Madeleine keeps her knives with her to avoid her from recklessly using it outside of combat.
* Some of her knives are modified to be enhanced with Redstone plasma.
	+ As she became engaged with Madeleine, her knives have been confiscated, much to her chagrin. Regardless, she can use them when needed.
* Her allegiances are heavily tested. She has to live a double life, akin to a spy serving on opposing sides.
* The Corporate Renegades does not know she killed some of their men on her introduction.
* Gwyneth Forgesteel remarks that she had a "glow-up" when Alissandre changed her looks.
* Alissandre despises Fiona Vance, as one would expect. She even wanted to kill her for failing to save Madeleine from the destruction of the base. Despite the widespread belief that she had died, Madeleine had only gone missing and has planned to find her in Avarshi.
* Alissandre used to start fights randomly when she was younger and in her adolescence, leading Madeleine to become protective of her and beat the bullies up in self-defence when Alissandre was assaulted. This could explain her propensity of striking, slapping, or kicking Madeleine in the stomach or chest, even if it barely affects her and only causes minor aggravation.
	+ When Madeleine was now an adult, she is practically unbothered from her hits anymore, save for her face.
	+ Alissandre is clearly frustrated when Madeleine gave her a taste of her own medicine, but she knows she deserved it. Madeleine even holds back by simply giving her a simple slap or a fist to her stomach to avoid her from losing her patience.
		- This may also allude to Alissandre disliking it when she is not the dominant of their relationship.
* Despite being reared in the Aryaine Kingdom, Alissandre is from Losteria, and she speaks with a believable "Panamoan wannabe" accent, alluding to her genuine Losterian background.
* Alissandre knows her own beauty, and proudly boasts herself to her girlfriend that, "She isn't the only the hottest among the tribe". She also uses her small size to hug her deeply in the chest to feel secure or when she needs comfort.

### Developmental Notes

* In ACT-67's original draft, Alissandre was not redeemed and she remained the renegades' most ruthless operators, with the *New Heroes, Another Ultimatum* ending with a stalemate duel between Alissandre and Madeleine.
* Bloodlust's main outfit was sourced from a tactical luxury store.
* Bloodlust's redemption arc was written several times before the final version that you see right now.
* Early stats indicate Alissandre/Bloodlust was only a few inches shorter than Madeleine, but a large size difference was way more plausible to emphasise their dynamic relationship.
* Even though Alissandre's tougher than she looks, she still hates stomach blows and her abdominals are incredibly sensitive to trauma. This is why she tries to get abdominal muscles in the same shape as Madeleine to make herself tougher.
* Alissandre's red hair symbolised her anger, aggression and tenacity.
* Madeleine didn't want Alissandre to completely dye her hair into red, claiming that it would make her stand out. Alissandre objected to her suggestion, but soon realised it was correct; instead of dying her hair a less bright colour, she favours using a hood to reduce her visibility from unsuspecting enemies from afar or to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
