Beatrix Kiddo, also known as The Bride, is a fictional character in Quentin Tarantino's movie Kill Bill. She is played by Uma Thurman. The Bride, codenamed "Black Mamba", is a former member of the "Deadly Viper Assassination Squad", an elite, shadowy group of assassins. A formidable, ruthless warrior trained under martial arts master Pai Mei (Gordon Liu), she served at the right hand of Bill (David Carradine), her boss and lover, a position that provoked the furious envy of Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah), who was also Bill's lover. Kiddo, a master of the Tiger/Crane style of kung fu, is the only Viper to learn the "Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique", a method of killing an assailant by quickly striking five pressure points around the heart. Pai Mei refused to teach this technique, which was said to be "the deadliest blow in all of martial arts", even to Bill. Kiddo's determination wins his respect, however, and he teaches her the forbidden technique. Kiddo is first seen on the day of her wedding rehearsal in rural Texas, living under the name "Arlene Macchiavelli", having previously left Bill and abandoned the Vipers. Bill finds her, however, and gate-crashes her wedding
