Ouiselle or “The Bird” is a woman named Véga de Ortega who fights crimes thanks to her artificial wings. She was raised by an anarchist group to be immune to fear.

She also has potions she gets from a scientist that give her additional powers like telepathy or heightened senses.

She first appeared in Véga la magicienne by french author Renée Gouraud d’Ablancourt in 1909.

Interesting character and kind of ahead of its time as far as a flying crimefighter is concerned.
