Origin
Pistolera was the partner of an assassin called Gunhawk. They were depicted as both business partners and lovers. After defeat at the hands of Batman, they would later return to face his temporary replacement, Azrael. But, eventually, the two would have a falling out and Bunny decides to strike out on her own. Changing her code-name to Pistolera, she abandons the matching green uniform she wore as Gunhawk's partner and adopts a Western-themed cowgirl outfit. As a member of the Ravens, the all-female mercenary group led by international assassin Cheshire, Pistolera becomes a recurring enemy of the Birds of Prey.
