    Stiletto 
Stiletto, birth name Angelyne Knight, is a complex character. Formerly a trust fund dilettante who dabbles in modeling and fashion, she becomes a powerful dominatrix after her parents' murder and financial ruin. After being kidnapped and tortured by a drug lord named Sergio Enrique Zambada, she adopts the persona of Stiletto and becomes a vigilante, waging a one-woman war against the cartel's operations in Capital City.
  • Action Girl: Stiletto is a fierce and capable fighter, using her razor-sharp nails and heels as weapons in her crusade against the cartel.
  • Anti-Hero: Stiletto is a morally ambiguous character who operates outside the law and is willing to use extreme methods to achieve her goals.
  • Badass in Distress: Stiletto is kidnapped and tortured by Sergio and his henchmen, but she ultimately emerges from the ordeal as a stronger and more determined character.
  • Dominatrix: Stiletto's background as a dominatrix plays a significant role in her story, as it helps her attract wealthy clients who later become targets in her war against the cartel.
  • Revenge: Stiletto's crusade against the cartel is driven by her desire for revenge against those who murdered her parents and caused her financial ruin.
  • Tragic Hero: Stiletto's backstory is tragic, as she was born into luxury but ultimately lost everything after her parents' murder and financial ruin. Her descent into a life of dominatrix work and vigilante justice is a result of these traumas.
