Night Breeze

**Alissandre Crowe**, also known by her codename *Night Breeze*, is a new generation hero who served as a special operations operative in the past. She uses her skills to hack enemy hardware to obtain a strategic advantage, and her small stature makes it easy for her to blend in. She also possesses a high level of espionage and covert operations expertise.

## Biography

### Background

Alissandre Crowe was born in Ceyrahelian, Losteria Luis Wagner Crowe is her father, while Francine Magdalena Crowe is her mother. Though her mother leads a regular life, Luis is a criminal who has been known to promote the megacorporation by participating in violent riots and demonstrating his loyalty by killing people, forcing Francine to divorce him, yet he has managed to keep Alissandre with him. He was a well-known terrorist who fought for the values of PROJECT until the megacorporation was defeated.

Alissandre witnessed her father's alleged death at the hands of Skullface, who fatally shot him in the right eye, ostensibly killing him. Alissandre discovered the whole scope of her father's wrongdoings and has drowned herself in a plethora of thoughts, knowing she is the daughter of a terrorist. As a result, she has kept his mask as a keepsake, hoping to exact revenge on his killer eventually. Knowing her mother was alive, she chose to be the polar opposite of her father: a hero.

That was when Alissandre wanted someone to keep her company, having befriended an Iceborn girl named Madeleine Clement, who quickly became her best friend, even after they become young adults. She admires her best friend's skills, prolific personality, and an overall good character, but is disturbed by not telling more about her family background, something she hopes to learn more. The truth is, she became her lifelong friend, since her father's supposed death when she was four years old, Madeleine found her and became inseparable.

### New Generation of Heroes

In 3026, Alissandre Crowe was classified as a recruit. This was owing to her sending an application request to Fiona Vance, indicating that she wanted to join to correct her mistakes, from which the latter learned her true roots and kept them hidden. Vance observes that her father should be imprisoned rather than killed for his crimes, to which she grudgingly agreed, knowing that her purpose was to end her suffering by killing her father.

### Operation: New Troubles

#### Prodigy's Intervention

Alissandre was there with her best friend Madeleine, on her way to finish her first mission. Recognising her friend's determination, she noticed she had dressed herself in a custom suit, presumably ready for her step into being a hero. Despite her request, she was overlooked as her best friend announced her pseudonym, Lunar Frost. Despite her isolation from Madeleine's quest, she was able to defend herself and brutally slaughtered a few renegades who discovered her whereabouts. After her best friend was accepted into the NEW/G, Lunar Frost affectionately her "Night Breeze" and brought her to the Panamoan Republic.

#### S.O.L.A.C.E Means Business

As Alissandre received extensive training from Gwyneth Forgesteel, she has been concerned at Madeleine, asking Fiona Vance on why did she stay behind at Avarshi. The leader calmly confirms that she wanted to prove herself more, and she is the heir of a late hero, which she knew about Ashe. A few hours later, S.O.L.A.C.E and Corporate Renegades have stormed the footsteps of their headquarters, and she pulls out a carbine in anticipation for the threat. Spartacus Brightspear and Gwyneth are later infuriated when Fiona discovered that they are invaded.

#### A Revelation Unfolds

While SCODOK has nearly ordered them to fire in unison, She witnessed Lunar Frost camouflaged in the outskirts of the base. As her best friend has successfully interrupted the mechas by flinging a massive number of Shock and Cryo grenades, then she rushes outside to aide her best friend, teasing her for doing her "not letting me join you on destroying the convoy carrying Aether." Lunar Frost simply laughs at her as she takes the job seriously, whilst Night Breeze is now able to disable the mechas.

Forcing the combined forces to retreat, Spartacus Brightspear leads them inside, and Lunar Frost congratulates **Night Breeze** on her first "act of heroism against evil." Afterwards, Night Breeze has spent the entire time stargazing at the rooftop.

It was previously established that Alissandre was unable to hear the truth regarding Madeleine Clement. Perhaps she became frustrated when Madeleine finished her first mission alone and sent her to the Panamoan Republic for recruitment, while the latter remained in her country to fend off against the renegade and S.O.L.A.C.E invaders, before singlehandedly saving their base. This inspired a latent ambition in her: to compel her to divulge the truth about the family, even if it meant jeopardising their friendship.

### Brightblasting Adventure

Night Breeze became more notable in this event. Particularly the legion's first large operation against the Corporate Renegades, Codenamed: VANQUISH. However, she is displeased to spend her days in the freezing cold, yet again. Madeleine simply taunts her, knowing that her country is really infamous for the low temperatures.

#### Rise Again, For an Adventure

Back at base, she repeatedly queries Madeleine about her heritage, knowing that the rest of the heroes in the NEW/G are aware of it. The latter politely refused her questions, knowing that she will most likely become jealous, all while merely smiling at her. Undaunted, she had a severe expression on her face, intending to pull Madeleine outside for a better opportunity of disclosing the truth, only to have it interrupted when Fiona Vance and the warriors brought Benjamin Timewatcher and threw him in a cell. The two decided to put that discussion away and guard him instead, knowing that he has the means to flee at any time, and cause any trouble.

He was far from nice. He convinces to be freed, though the two of them ignores his pleas; Until he decides to rant something regarding the G/NEX. Trying to retrieve his gadgets metres away from him, Lunar Frost then pulls it out of reach, but he throws a TIME WINDER grenade; She took a defensive step towards her friend, but the latter freezes the grenade with an ice arrow manifested from her hands. Night Breeze then aggressively kicks his arm to prevent him from obtaining his gear. He tries to plead again, refusing his request, knowing that he took their armour and power source, which caused Alissandre to swear at him, knowing that it could ruin their own base.

Upon hearing his current name, she asks Madeleine if it sounds familiar to her. As expected, Madeleine messaged Fiona about their prisoner. Afterwards, they both had some planning for their next mission, Alissandre somehow predicted that their next destination would be on the frigid cold nation, Avarshi. She also that she had a rough experience with Gwyneth Forgesteel, but respects her conviction to do the right thing.

#### Renegades, Now Strike!

Madeleine wanted to repay Alissandre for leaving her alone on her first mission, which is why they were able to quickly travel to the country and bond before returning to scout the mining site from atop a mountain; evidently, the site is located inside a big cave, surrounded by a smaller mountain. As their NEW/G teammates came, they gave long-range support, with Madeleine sniping the adversaries and Alissandre detonating an explosive located in the site, which she acknowledges was put by her beforehand. After that, she took pleasure in hacking pretty much everything on the renegades, even compromising tehir armoured suits and gadgets.

However, their support comes to an end when Yellowjacket Wolf has flown to their position, and shoots at them, Lunar Frost blocked and dodged a few plasma bolts, but Night Breeze ends up getting shot in the shoulder; Causing an injury. With no time to argue, she urges her to be sent to Fiona Vance, in order to stay alive. Her best friend did not hesitate to risk the long distance, and used a snowboard to traverse downwards, seemingly perfectly balanced, and she ends up getting patched up by Fiona after they reached her and the group. She also noticed Seeker, wounded and has slowly recovered from her injuries. Things got worse when a giant mech has been sent to the battlefield, causing chaos.

She carried Seeker with her as they dispersed to avoid being incinerated from its muzzle-emplaced plasma beam. Lunar Frost later cripples it with smart targeting missiles through the use of a launcher. As it gets destroyed, the Armed Forces of the Panamoan Republic and Iceborn local warriors have scattered throughout the country to get rid of the enemy. She is relieved to see the planet has its authorities and militaries are back, admitting that they have been deserving a return. Alissandre noticed that the destroyed mech is near the tomb at Frostvile, and points out that someone is climbing out. Fiona orders everyone to stay put, likely to assist Madeleine.

After the entire commotion that she has not witnessed, possibly not wanting to see Madeleine getting pummelled to death, they all returned to base. In courtesy, NEXTECH Man actually flew her back to base with incredible speed, but she proceeds to vomit after landing. Quickly making it to the headquarters, she spent the entire hour taking a bath, whilst the others are recovering from their wounds. Fiona notes that a decent amount of them has died, but they all did well in the operation. Later, Alissandre comforts Madeleine, whom was still mute after her outburst, able to discover it by the blood on her gloves. The latter nods at her, and goes to the leader's office.

Looking for the opportunity to get some fresh air, she invites Madeleine for some bonding time after she had conversed with Fiona. They spent the entire time in the rooftops, gazing upon the stars, knowing that they have a bright future just like the entire free world, if they survive all of this.

### Anti-Corporations

Night Breeze has went AWOL after a while as she intends to meet her father. Knowing that her father may not like her current look, she changes her old black hair, refining her own hairstyle, and enhancing it with red highlights, believing that it would make her look tougher. Without informing anyone in the NEW/G, she travelled to Ruj, knowing that it is lawless and Templar Vanguard is expecting her.

Alissandre changed her codename from Night Breeze to **Bloodlust**. She knows the cost of possibly destroying her friendship with Madeleine in the process of meeting her father, she does it regardless, desiring to meet him for the last time. Unknown to her, Madeleine is now on her way to locate her, whilst she stays in the underground nation to settle some loose ends with the Renegades.

#### Familial Confessions

To establish herself on her first day as Bloodlust, she murders a few renegades and even some innocent individuals. Following that, she agreed to meet her father, Luis, The Templar Vanguard. They chose Ruj, their choice of a meeting place was wise, for that underground nation is uncivilised, lawless, and dangerous. She did, however, return to Avarshi using a stolen teleportation device from Benjamin Timewatcher. Exploring the exact location of her father's supposed death many years ago. She was aware that her father was still alive, but she wants to kill Skullface if her father is unable to, confirming her intention by tossing a knife at Skullface's wanted image.

After a while, she went to Ruj, which she randomly picked fights as criminals are attracted by her appearance, which she pulled out her knives and caused a massacre. Then, her father awaits. Proud of her, even had the time to complement her look and skills, proclaiming that she is her "true key" to beating the NEW/G ranks, and spark terror through the planet, in a swift and precise manner. When they both reunite and discuss about her future, Luis promised her one thing if they defeat the heroes: A normal life. Despite knowing that her father is a murderous terrorist, she accepts her promise.

However, as her father departs, Madeleine locates her. She nervously smiled at her best friend and showed off her new look to avoid suspicion. The two now admitted their background: Madeleine's mother is a hero, whereas her father is a scary killer, she realised. Alissandre then gets right to the point, wondering about the genuine background of her best friend. Madeleine soon demands an explanation for her questions, which enrages the latter due to her refusal to investigate more of her true family, not yet satisfied to learn that she is Ashe's daughter. To make matters worse, she revealed her new moniker, Bloodlust. Madeleine removed her armour and attempted to be nice, not wanting to fight.

A fight between the best friends have unfolded. Clearly, Alissandre is outmatched against Madeleine in Hand-to-hand combat. Madeleine wasn't surprised of her change in behaviour. After a succession of knees and fists to the face, she makes Madeleine spit out **some** blood. She lashes out at her best friend whilst holding the knife, insisting that it should not end this way. Madeleine stands up after checking her blood, and she explains that she felt useless when the prodigy completed her first mission without her assistance. The Iceborn prodigy is taken aback by her statements, allowing Alissandre to push her against the wall after leg-sweeping her. Madeleine, distressed, loses her patience, but looks at her menacingly, earning her a look of fear.

Though Alissandre was upset with Madeleine for keeping the truth about her family from her, Madeleine coldly acknowledges that it was her mother's wishes to keep her heritage in secret that later made her the hero that she is now. Her, on the other hand, professes to loving her father despite his true colours, which allows the prodigy to restrain her, but Alissandre has had enough and aims her dagger at Madeleine's throat, threatening to silence or even kill her *permanently* if she tells the legion. The latter becomes upset, then the prodigy swiftly disarms her and kicks her in the stomach, forcing her to spit out lots of blood, crawl along the floor in agony and beg for mercy. Lunar Frost ends her argument with Bloodlust, stating that it should never happen again, and finally ends their quarrel by confirming that one thing separates her from Ashe: Her *lack of mercy* towards any foe that stands in her way.

Alissandre is rendered speechless and only yelled when Gwyneth Forgesteel binds her. She begs for her release with a solemn expression on her face, but to no avail. She did, however, receive a fleeting smile when her ex-best friend urged that she be treated fairly while imprisoned. Forgesteel subsequently taunts her, knowing she was suspicious the whole time. Knowing what she has done to ruin her friendship with Madeleine and jeopardise the entire NEW/G; it appears that she has no room for repentance. Desperate, she used her knives to escape, but Lunar Frost takes it away.

Templar Vanguard was able to see her, and they both had a stare. However, he is powerless to save her, and vows revenge against Lunar Frost, claiming that she became a bad influence on her daughter.

## Personality

Alissandre Crowe has always been an introvert, preferring isolation and being in quiet places. As a result, she is calm and restrained, despite having a cheerful and energetic personality. Because of her reclusive demeanour, which matches her general qualities, she prefers to operate in combat by isolating herself from the main team and sticking to high ground, unless compelled to fight up close. Her allies in the new generation of heroes, though, appreciate her enough. This results in her striking a friendship with Madeleine Clement, whom was her childhood friend.

However, Alissandre bears a dark secret owing to her introverted personality: Her father is Luis Wagner Crowe, the Templar Vanguard. As a result, despite the fact that her father taught her how to fight and defend herself, she bears hatred towards him because of his status as a violent killer who aspires to restore the megacorporation through his loyalty to the renegades, However, she had the decision to meet him to reunite with him, at the cost of her friendship and allegiance to the heroes. This is due to her jealously of her best friend, Madeleine, whose mother is a late hero who sacrificed herself to save the planet from a tyrant. Because of her jealousy, she became a more merciless version of herself - **Bloodlust**.

## Abilities

Night Breeze prefers dark areas for her stealth expertise, but her most known skill is her ability to hack into almost anything, including complex enemy hardware like as S.O.L.A.C.E's mechas. As a result of her hacking prowess, she may be able to tactically alter the tide of a combat operation, always bringing a gadget to perform her talent. Her efficacy in close combat decreases, but she had great marksmanship skills and the capability to use melee weapons to defend herself. Knives are her specialty in combat, to be exact.
