Gaze upon my supreme beauty! I am Love given Flesh!
Supervillain Name: Ossia di Nerezza
Appearance: For some reason, Ossia looks basically identical to a certain pink alicorn superheroine. However there are minor differences between the two - with Ossia sporting gray eyes, more athletic build and different manestyle. They also dress nothing alike.- with villainous alicorn wearing a black catsuit with a green sash, as well as pair of emerald earrings, jeweled leg bracelets, black tiara made of unknown metal, and golden amulet depicting sickle around her neck. It is currently unknown if has the same Cutie Marks as her match seeing that catsuit covers it.
Power(s): Ossia display usual alicorn powers similar to Sunlight Sentinel, Moonlight Knight and her own heroic counterpart, with skyscrapper-toppling strength, insane durability, supreme speed and reflexes and raw magic power that would make most graduates of 'School for Gifted Unicorns' jealous. While somewhat weaker then two alicorn sisters, this still makes her incredibly strong and an S-Level threat.
According to Ossia herself, her power source is 'Love'....and seeing that she displays EXTREME narcissism it appears that she is more then capable of fueling herself.
Uniquely to her, she is able to 'strengthen' and 'renew' the love in others by using her magic to grant herself even further boost....usually by cranking it to such degrees that unlucky recipient becomes downright psychotic or displaying similar unhinged behavior.
The villainous alicorn also was shown to charm males for a time, making them obsessed with her, and ready to serve her every whim. There however appears to be limits to this ability, with Ossia not being able to enchant more then three stallions at a time, as well as being unable to overwrite their personality traits.
The malicious di Nerezza also appears to quite familiar with various types of sorcery, displaying supreme knowledge of mystical arts during her clashes with Avalon Five, and later Hopesguard. She was shown to be proficient in using counter-spells, forcefields, teleportation, extremely powerful telekinesis and usage of different kinds of magical beams. It safe to assume that she has much more up in her sleeve when it comes to arcane. Most disturbingly and unfortunately, di Nerezza can also torture someone for insanely long times without killing them as Hopesguard First-Response team found out much to their horror.
Saturn Amulet: Ossia possesses a relict of unknown origin that allows her to travel through dimensions and alternate realities, and granting limited protection to time manipulation. Strangely enough it appears that Ossia needs to progressively 'acclimate' to each newly visited dimension through increasingly prolonged visits. Her first appearance when she fought Avalon Five 55 years ago lasted no longer then fifteen minutes and greatly drained her. In contrast, her next visit lasted six hours back when Hopesguard was freshly formed, with her latest - just before the same team dismantling - ending only after two days of chase and struggle, with Ossia being forcibly shoved through trans-dimensional rift. Tegan of Hopesguard theorized that her next emergence may very well result in a permanent stay.
On top of that she doesn't appeared to age at all between her appearances. Currently it's unknown if it's something appurtenant to her or yet another benefit coming with possession of Amulet.
Weakness:
While not possessing obvious weaknesses like Sunlight or Moonlight, calling Ossia invincible would be a glaring suspension of disbelief.
Her first most glaring flaw is her narcissism. While she is way too arrogant to be bothered by petty insults or rude comments Ossia can be...a little too self-absorbed at times. While usually no-nonsense this usual leaves her open to any tricks or surprise attacks that she should notice otherwise.
Going with that, she also appears to be infatuated with Mi Amore Cadenza. Mentioning the alicorn heroine by name is one of the ways to pick Ossia's attention and di Nerezza seems to hold her counterpart in almost as high regard as she does herself. This usually leaves her talking about Cadenza. A lot.
Second of Ossia's shortcomings are sadistic tendencies. While savvy enough to cripple strong opponents quickly, di Nerezza have tendency to toy with them longer then she should, extending their pain and suffering for longer then necessary apparently for nothing more then her own amusement. This was exploited by Hopesguard during their first encounter with her - After utterly demolishing first response team, Ossia was completely blindsided by three backup units while she was still tormenting her now defenseless foes.
Strangely enough Ossia appears to have no interest in harming powerless beings, saving her interest for other supers instead, in her own words ' "To temper herself".'
Third and perhaps the most surprising is her protective attitude to any real display of romantic love. Assaulting an enamored couple in di Nerezza presence is a quick and sure way to bring a savage assault upon yourself, usually with a lethal results. Coincidentally Ossia appears to be rather fond of any love imagery, and she will try to avoid any property damage to any places that have or display it.
Last but not least Ossia appears to tend grudges like others tend flowers. While outwardly calm and collected it's pretty clear when she loathes someone. Particularly her cold resentment towards Moonlight Knight, Rainboom Centurian and [REDACTED] appearing almost unending and thus easily exploitable. Strangely enough she consistently refers to Moonlight as Nightmare Moon....
Backstory:
Being a individual hailing from another dimension Ossia di Nerezza so far is almost complete enigma - the few strings of information about her being only this that she shared herself.
What is known however is the fact that her being an alicorn is not an illusion - something confirmed by Hopesguard when they brought their strongest dispelling magic to the table.
Her fist appearance goes as far as 55 years from present day, when members of superhero team Avalon Five were researching means of dimensional travel in hopes of locating heroes missing during 'Tear Shock' even over century prior. They experiments instead paved the way for Ossia di Nerezza. However the evil alicorn appeared to be very weakened from her first excursion into a world of superheroes and she was quickly overpowered by the Avalon Five an pushed back to whatever alien space she came from.
Avalon Five however kept the encounter a secret, perhaps out of respect of Sunlight Sentinel and fear what the news about the new, malicious alicorn could do to her reputation.
Thus Hopesguard were completely obvious to Ossia's existence when she resurfaced years later, just after Hopesguard subdued a notorious super-villain Shatterway.
His reckless usage of his superpower which opened portals through space allowed di Nerezza to break through weakened dimensional barriers - and this time she wasn't as nearly exhausted by the transition as before. Tired from their prior fight, First-Response team were no match for evil alicorn and were utterly trounced, However Ossia revealed in her victory for far too long - long enough for backup to arrive. Ossia managed to hold her against two more additional teams, with only third proving to be enough to stop her and forcing di Nerezza to retreat from dimensional rift. Once again, due to the remote location of the battlefield and concern about Sentinel reputation - existence of Ossia was suppressed. Hopesguard however was more mindful then Avalon Five and they kept the data about malicious alicorn just in case, eventually uploading information about her to their AI - Marionette.
The android dragon proved to be crucial to Ossia's defeat, when she once again returned after a few years. This time she emerged in Hopesguard secret laboratory in Allacor Mountains, where research over Sixth Energy were being made. A particular experiment was performed at exactly wrong place and at wrong time. And while it was successful, the side effect weakened the dimensional walls - something that di Nerezza exploited once again to break into reality of superheroes. Despite being far more experienced and having far more members Hopesguard had the unpleasantness of finding out that Ossia had even better grip on her powers now as well. Evil alicorn steadily bulldozed through the members of the team, and only Marionette supreme coordinating skills back from HQ prevented any casualties this time around. The fight eventually spilled into outskirts of Beakbreak City, with Ossia being stopped when Marionette finally found a way to victory. Using portable Sixth Energy generator build by Tegan, data gathered by Provenance and powers of Stable Loop they were able to open a dimensional rift into lifeless universe with rest of the team pushing di Nerezza into it - finishing the battle after two days of almost constant struggle.
The events of the incident were once again were kept under the wraps - despite a greater difficulty of doing so - partially for the same reasons as before, but mostly because Ossia now had an active, and undoubtedly heroic counterpart active within 'supers' community. It was quite certain that news about crazy and malicious counterpart would greatly damage to emerging superheroine creditability.
Time will tell if Ossia manged to bounce from her last defeat. But one is certain - she will have quite a grudge to act on if she does....
Allies: None! As somepony who had been present in AoH dimension two days tops Ossia simply hadn't had time to make any.
Enemies: As if in contrast with her current lack of allies, Ossia brought with her quite a number of grudges, and even managed to cultivate a new ones.
Moonlight Knight - Hated by Ossia with intensity of thousand suns, slaying the blue alicorn seems to be one of the goals she has in AoH dimension. Strangely enough di Nerezza refers to her exclusively as Nightmare Moon....
Sunlight Sentinel - Not so much hated as feeling a great scorn towards her, Ossia has nothing but disdain for world most famous heroine. In her own words "Despite all of her power she's a joke of an alicorn. An utter failure no matter the timeline or dimension." di Nerezza appears to know Sentinel true name, and uses it when referring or speaking about her.
Rainboom Centurian - The pink alicorn seems to hate the blue mare almost as much as she does the Moonlight. Mysteriously enough Ossia spoke about Rainboom and Nightmare Night as if they were associates in some great sin committed against de Nerezza - despite the fact that Centurian actually fought Nightmare at one point!
[PLACEHOLDER: Candance Superhero Couterpart] - Unlike other superheoes, Ossia appears to have more complex relationship with Mi Amore then with other heroes. di Nerezza appears to be obsessed with her counterpart and even tries to emulate her in some ways. She openly adores and reveres Cadance abilities, looks and status as alicorn of love - to the point of being extremely creepy about it. At the same time however she criticizes her for repeating mistakes of Sentinel and Knight instead of "Becoming so much more then those failures." and not living up to her utmost potential. Cadance is also the only pony Ossia sees as an only truly worthy opponent - a honor she doesn't extend to Moonlight and Sunlight despite their greater power and her scorn for them.
Avalon Five - di Nerezza holds a grudge against the group for a simple reason of foiling her once before. However since their meeting happened so many years ago three of the team's members passed away due to old age, while the remaining two now live in secluded retirement. Still, if a group of heroes would decide to carry on the team legacy, it's quite possible that they would inherit Ossia resentment towards the name as well.
Hopesguard - Ossia despises the team for the very same reason as she does the Avalon Five - foiling her plans. However their interruption is far more recent, and they managed to do so not once but twice. The vindictive alicorn made sure to engrave into her memory name and the face of every single member she faced, so she can 'repay' them in case their paths cross again.
Notability: She is only known by the past Hopesguard members and those with the access to their former database. However because of her uncanny resemblance to certain alicorn superheroine, Ossa can be easily mistaken for her.
Love conquers all.
