9	Lady Rawhide is a scantily-clad, masked vigilante who defends the people from their oppression against tyrannical officials and other villains. She first appeared in Topps' ''DerivativeWorks/{{Zorro}}'' series, and later appeared in several solo one-shots and two mini-series. Lady Rawhide was created by Don [=McGregor=] and Mike Mayhew.

11	In 2013, a new 5-issue mini-series came out from Dynamite Entertainment.
12
13	Anita Santiago was driven to create her own costumed identity to seek revenge against the Commandante of Los Angeles, Captain Enrique Monasterio who inflected terrible injures on her brother, Roman Santiago. Anita's hatred for Zorro came about when her brother, Roman, was falsely mistaken as being Zorro by the nefarious Captain Enrique Monasterio who shot Roman point black which ended up permanently blinding Roman, and disfiguring the left half of his face. Since then, Anita swore that she would make Zorro pay with his life.

15	What seemed like a simple task for vendetta became more complicated after she met her adversary that she eventually fell in love and came to respect what Zorro stood for. She would eventually adopt his goal to fight injustice and help the helpless against the wicked and corrupt.

18	!!Tropes:
19
20	* ActionGirl: Lady Rawhide can buckle her swash with the best of them.
21	* AmazonBrigade: In the Dynamite mini-series, Lady Rawhide takes on a gang of female vigilantes called the Sisters of the White Rose, who were inspired by Lady Rawhide but use far bloodier methods.
22	* BadGirlComic
23	* BreakOutCharacter: Lady Rawhide was the fan favourite character in Topps' ''Zorro'' series, and was spun off into her set of miniseries.
24	* DatingCatwoman: Lady Rawhide falls in love with Zorro despite him being her sworn enemy.
25	* DiseasedName: The main villain in ''Other People's Blood'' is a PirateGirl who calls herself Scarlet Fever (although this name is probably self-chosen).
26	* DistaffCounterpart: Lady Rawhide based her costumed identity on Zorro, becoming a female version of him.
27	* EyeScream: Ramon's blinding. Hot gases from a pistol barrel sear his eyes, and the reader is later treated to a close-up of the mangled remains of his eyes.
28	* FieryRedhead: Even if it is a dye job in her case. Anita uses her redheaded alter-ego as an outlet for all of her impulses that are considered unsuitable for Spanish noblewoman.
29	* IntimateHealing: In ''Other People's Blood'', Lady Rawhide is left dying a gangrenous wound inflicted by Scarlet Fever. She is found by vampire Carmelita Rodriguez who cures her by sucking her blood: drawing out the poison and healing her wounds.
30	* JustLikeRobinHood: Lady Rawhide steals from the corrupt authorities and redistributes the wealth to the suffering peasantry.
31	* MostCommonSuperpower: Look at the page image. Lady Rawhides 'endowments' are often commented on by her opponents.
32	* NavelDeepNeckline: PirateGirl Scarlet Fever wears a yellow silk shirt that is open all the way down the front and knotted at her navel.
33	* OfCorsetsSexy: A corset forms the central component of her {{Stripperific}} outfit.
34	* PirateGirl: Scarlet Fever is a female pirate captain who serves as the primary antagonist of the second miniseries.
35	* PoisonedWeapons: The tip of Scarlet Fever's sword contains traces of gangrene: designed to turn even a scratch from her blade into a lingering death for her victims. It nearly does for Lady Rawhide.
36	* SecretIdentity: Lady Rawhide is the secret identity of Spanish noblewoman Anita Santiago.
37	* SerialKiller: In ''It Can't Happen Here'', Lady Rawhide battles a serial killer with a similar M.O. to UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper (although the story is set several decades prior to Saucy Jack's reign of terror).
38	* ShowSomeLeg: In the ''Lady Rawhide/Lady Zorro'' mini-series, Lady Rawhide explains that her {{Stripperific}} costume is designed to distract male opponents.
39	* {{Stripperific}}: Lady Rawhide's costume shows a lot of flesh, which is a deliberate tactic to [[ShowSomeLeg discombobulate her male opponents]].
40	* TenPacesAndTurn: [[http://www.comicvine.com/zorros-lady-rawhide-other-peoples-blood-1/4000-168977/ The cover of this comic]] shows Lady Rawhide about to throw down with her [[ArchEnemy hated enemy]] Scarlet Fever. ([[CoversAlwaysLie This didn't actually happen in the comic]]; Scarlet Fever tended to fight ''dirty''.)
41	* WardrobeMalfunction: In the first issue of the original mini-series, Lady Rawhide's breast does actually pop out of her costume for a panel.
42	* WeHelpTheHelpless: Although Lady Rawhide initially begins her career out of a desire for revenge, she quickly moves on to Zorro's goal of fighting injustice and helping the poor and downtrodden.
43	* WhipOfDominance: Lady Rawhide takes her name from the bullwhip that is her primary weapon; one which she [[WeaponSpecialization wields with consummate skill]]. This further complements her {{Dominatrix}} motif.
