Hair as white as snow, eyes glowing lavender - The local media have named this british sorceress the ''Scarlet Mirage'', a moniker she never actually used for herself, however.

<p>A few people have contended - without putting forth any hard evidence however, that the Scarlet Mirage shares some similarity in outward appearance and manifested powers with Alexandrine Deruisseau, who gained some infamy in Europe as the villain 'Mystère Argente' for a short time, before disappearing in the wake of an incident in 2009.</p> | <p>A few people have contended - without putting forth any hard evidence however, that the Scarlet Mirage shares some similarity in outward appearance and manifested powers with Alexandrine Deruisseau, who gained some infamy in Europe as the villain 'Mystère Argente' for a short time, before disappearing in the wake of an incident in 2009.</p> | ||

Before she could execute her plan, however, she was thwarted by a team of upstart european heroes.</p> |

This seems unlikely however, as she returned a short time later, in order to exact revenge and attempt to execute her plan one more time. Again she was thwarted and dissappeared without a trace afterwards.</p> | <p>Details of the incident are obscure, but it has been reported that Mystère Argente was inadvertetly killed by the heroes.
