The Dama Rossa was an Animi Avatar used by Abstergo Industries, in order to train the recruits in the first stage of their Animi Training Program. She was unlocked through a system update, and used 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 was Italian for "red lady" or "red-headed lady".
• In the trailer for The Da Vinci Disappearance DLC, she had an English accent.
• When describing the map of Alhambra, she expressed her desire to visit the place, with her reason being that "The people are kind... and the architecture is to die for."
• When the Dama Rossa was placed in her Elite gear and rotated her around during the profile set selection screen, it could be seen that she had a tattoo on her back that would normally be concealed. Provided that only the sides of it were shown, it was likely that the pattern made that of a Templar cross.
• Her Low Profile, Front kill was similar to the Smuggler's.
• The Dama Rossa was the only Animi Avatar to not sport or show her real name.
• The Dama Rossa showed a similarity to Amelia from the Assassin's Creed II memory Horseplay, despite having a different hair color to her.
