The Grey Lady
Down the street I walk,
But as I go, my senses know, another one would stalk,
Several times my eyes do see, a lady watching over me,
As grey as an overcast day, she follows me along the way...
Coming to my house's door, I enter to the bottom floor,
I hang my coat upon my rack, moving to the kitchen for a late night snack,
Shortly after this, I go upstairs as sleep ensnares,
Thoughts begin to form within my head as I lie in bed,
The woman from outside, feelings of security thrown aside,
But I did eventually fall asleep, eye's lid failing...
In the midst of night, I awaken in fright,
My mind overwhelmed with dread,
For there, stood at the foot of my bed,
The Grey Lady watches, darkness ensues...
- The poetic description a victim gave, when questioned about the ordeal
Overview
A very shady individual going by the name "Widow" doesn't sound like a particularly friendly person; on the contrary... She seems quite approachable, and will speak to almost anybody that walks up for a chat. Where her personality takes a turn is if it's a male who decides to. Widow has been linked up to numerous male-exclusive kidnappings throughout Millennium City. If approached by a female, or another unsuitable entity, she'll either attempt to discard them as quickly - and politely - as possible, or speak to them for a more extended period of time if she isn't in an active phase.
Originally, victims weren't heard from after they'd been taken away; this, in recent times, has changed. The victims were located and questioned about the (assumed) human female, but their responses were disturbing. All of them claimed that the individual had appeared in a nightmare they'd had before waking up in a random location - some after several hours, the longest apparently being over a few years. Their memories of the dream (if it was) are incredibly vague, and most can only give details on basic aspects of her appearance - although all instances describe a female who dons a full-body suit of grey plated armour; two descriptions have been given, and both have matched real observed appearances.
Appearances
The very first recorded appearance of Widow was seen in late July of 2011,and is the reason behind the nickname "Red Eye". In general, the armour appears fairly bulky with a full helmet that incorporates a gasmask, along with some sort of optical aid covering the right eye. Two launchers can be seen adorning the forearms, and were used by the subject to fire out gas capsules, as well as binding ropes or nets to ensnare her "prey". She has since taken up a new guise after an encounter with an ex-spy in Club Caprice, going by the name of "Checkmate", who stated that her suit was "Too fuckin' clunky.", commenting on its lack of mobility; it seems as though she took this advice.
The armour that Widow now adopts is much more maneuverable, and allows her to move around easier than the last. Visually, it appears likened to the original in colour and also contains some similar design elements; the most notable difference is the headgear, which in this case would be a toothed face plate (likely used for intimidation) coupled with a hood; No visible eye slots are seen with this. She forgoes the launchers in favor of a utility belt with fast-acting storage capsules that appear to spring open in a moment's notice to allow for easy and swift access to equipment stored within.
