Dama Rossa

"Vengeful spirit, scorned lover, the Dama Rossa spreads her own rumors to make her work easier."

- Ubisoft description.



The Dama Rossa was an Animi Avatar used by Abstergo Industries to train the recruits in their Animi Training Program. She is unlocked through a system update, and uses a hairpin as her weapon.

Unique Moves
The Dama Rossa had several unique moves:

(Low Profile, Back) 

The Dama Rossa kicks her target in the back, sending their head back as they drop. She then takes the opportunity to stab her victim in the back of the head, jamming her hairpin into the soft flesh at the upper neck and into the brain, before removing it forcefully and letting them drop to the floor.

(Low Profile, Front) 

The Dama Rossa walks up to her target from the front and places her hand on their shoulder, before removing her hairpin with her other hand and crouching down slightly, then stabbing her weapon upwards into her victim's neck, piercing their brain. Afterwards, she quickly removes her hairpin and stores it back into the bun on top of her head, letting her victim drop to the floor.

(High Profile, Back) 

The Dama Rossa jumps on the target's back, sending them stumbling forwards, before leaning forward and impaling them in the side of the head with her hairpin. She then jumps off of their back, forcing her victim forwards with her feet while she lands, unfalteringly.

(High Profile, Front) 

The Dama Rossa runs up her target's leg, climbing on their knee after they flinch, and propelling herself into the air. While she is in mid-air, she removes her hairpin and stabs her victim in the back of the neck, pulling them to the ground and killing them instantly as she drops, aided by gravity, onto one of her knees next to her victim.

(Bench Kill) 

The Dama Rossa walks up to her seated target and grabs them by the arm, dragging them from the bench and throwing them to the floor. She then pounces upon her victim, almost sexually, before stabbing them in the head with her hairpin.

(Aerial Kill) 

The Dama Rossa leaps from a rooftop, hairpin in hand, and lands on top of her target in a straddling position. She then forces her hairpin into the head of her victim, killing them instantly, before she removes her weapon and stores it away, taking the time to stand up.

Trivia

 * Dama Rossa is Italian for "red lady" or "red-headed lady".
 * In the trailer for the DLC The Da Vinci Disappearance, she has an English accent.
 * When describing the map of Alhambra, she expresses her desire to visit the place. Her reasoning is that "The people are kind... and the architecture is to die for."
 * When you put the Dama Rossa in her Elite Gear and rotate her around during the profile set selection screen, you can see that she has a tattoo on her back that would normally be concealed. Provided that only the sides of it are shown, it can be seen that the pattern makes that of a Templar cross.
 * Her Low Profile kill from the front is similar to the Smuggler's.
 * The Dama Rossa is the only multiplayer character to not sport or show her real name.
 * The Dama Rossa looks like an older version of Amelia from the Assassin's Creed II memory Horseplay.
