Appearance

The Siberian is a black and white striped woman, the effect can be fully appreciated as she leaves her 5'8" frame completely bare. This also leaves her nationality somewhat indeterminate<ref name="Cast"/>.

Abilities and Powers

The Siberian was is both the unstoppable force and immovable object<ref name="Cast">Cast (spoilers)</ref>, unaffected by physical forces or any parahuman ability<ref name="Cast"/><ref name="I13"/>. Further she is capable of bestowing her invulnerability on anyone or anything she touches. This allows her to leap vast distances by transferring the effect to wear she leaps from and then applying it to where she lands, allowing her to land on roofs despite doping from thousands of feet above them. [[Interlude 14 5]] Her fight against Hero and the Triumvirate Legend, Alexandria, and Eidolon is remarked to be "the first time a truly dangerous villain made an appearance"<ref name="I13">Interlude 13</ref>, neither heroes armor or Alexandria seeming invulnerability ere able to stop her<ref name="Cast"/>. She was immune to both Trickster's teleportation and Panacea's biological manipulation abilities<ref>Comment by Wildbow on Prey 14.2</ref>.

She actively allowed gravity to affect her so she could walk, and not be suddenly flung out into space, and could ignore it just as easily. She's seen gliding/minimizing inertia in a few cases to make huge leaps<ref>Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles</ref>.

The only things that have been able to stop the Siberian are effects that warp space and time or those that readily violate the laws of physics. Impacting against something that has been clockblocked, being struck by items Flechette has affected, and Zion. In all these cases except the last the Siberian has been able to recover.

History

Background

On September 15th 2000 Siberian fought Hero, Alexandria, Eidolon, Legend, as well eight other Protectorate capes and the PRT. They attacked her while she was pinned down During this battle, she tore Hero to pieces and destroyed one of Alexandria's eyes before mysteriously escaping<ref name="I13"/>. She would later join the Slaughterhouse Nine, under the new leadership of Jack.

while she would be a recurring antagonist of the Protectorate she would otherwise lay low with the members of the nine, laying low between the groups rampages.

Post-Leviathan

The Siberian arrives in Brockton Bay along with the rest of the Slaughterhouse Nine in the aftermath of Leviathan's attack, occasionally killing civilians but otherwise laying low.

Marking Bitch as a potential recruit, she attacks her kennel and leaves a wolf pup there before finding the teenage villian outside patroling her new territory. Arriving while Bitch was confronting members of New Wave her appearance caused the heroes to immediately retreat. When they were alone The Siberian verbally informs Bitch that the Nine are looking for recruits. Bitch tries and fails to attack her, and the Siberian, after stating here reasons for the nomination leaves her with two gifts. the wolf pup and the fact that she is the only other living person to have heard the Siberian speak and live<ref name="I11a">Interlude 11a</ref>.

Siberian accompanies Jack Slash, Bonesaw, and Cherish while they have an impromptu meeting with the Undersiders and the Travelers, acting as security to keep the other members from being attacked. After Jack mutilates Tattletale, informs the teenage villains of the rules of the nines nominating process and that Shatterbird was almost ready to sing, the Siberian left with the trio of killers.

She later actively participates in the massacre of the Merchants, conveying the Jack, Bonesaw, and Charish to the ground from the position surveying the merchants and then mutilating several members of the drug gang by tearing through them.

Siberian is with the rest of the Nine when they are attacked on the way to Parian's territory. After the battle, she and the other members reach Dolltown and kill most of the residents, save those surgically altered by Bonesaw or evacuated by Parian. The area is then attacked by Fenrir's Chosen, and Siberian participates in the battle against them. During Grue's second trigger, she, the rest of the Nine, and the Chosen are engulfed in his darkness, and Grue uses a facsimile of Siberian's power to kill Burnscar.

Siberian later finds Panacea and begins chasing her as part of the recruitment cost, biting the flesh off a fingertip for each of the four times she is caught. Siberian continues the chase even as Skitter uses her bugs to distract her and to search for Manton. When the Undersiders and the Travelers meet Panacea, Siberian confronts them, but disappears when Tattletale tells her about the Protectorate's upcoming attack on the Nine in an attempt to get her to leave. Manton drives toward the Nine's location, but is soon discovered by Skitter, forcing him to summon the Siberian again to defend himself from the attacks mounted by the pursuing Undersiders and Travelers. When Sundancer destroys a large section of road in front of him, his truck is sent into the resulting crater just before Legend and several other Protectorate capes arrive. Siberian leaps out of the crater and engages Legend in combat.  While the rest of the Protectorate leaves to fight the Nine's other members, Legend and Siberian continue their battle, while Manton reveals his existence to Jack and Bonesaw before hiding with them in an Endbringer shelter. Skitter finds them and attacks the trio with a swarm on insects, grievously injuring Manton. 

Manton is able to use the Siberian to save Jack and Bonesaw from the PRT's second bombing.

Bonesaw cocoons him for an hour in a specialized case created with some Mannequin components to regenerate/weather the venoms<ref>Comment by Wildbow on Prey 14.11</ref>. 

He is recovered after Jack and Bonesaw return from fighting Skitter and Panacea, and is taken along with them when they deal with Cherish and leave the city with Hookwolf in tow.

Post-Echidna

During the conflict in Boston between Defiant, Dragon and the Slaughterhouse Nine, Manton is caught in the mechanical jaws of one of Dragon's armored craft and killed.

Post-Timeskip

Using blood samples of previous members of the nine Bonesaw was able to clone Siberians master allowing five siberians and four male siberians to participate in the Slaughterhouse Nine-Thousand<ref name="I25">Interlude 25</ref>.

Golden Morning

The Siberian briefly battled Zion in the Cauldron when the golden man appeared there looking for something. While able to damage the golden fool she was unable to kill him.
