Storyline

Next to Bill, Driver is the movie's primary villain, as well as the least sympathetic character; while all of her fellow Vipers are violent and ruthless, Driver is by far the most evil of the lot. She has an antagonistic relationship with the entire group, especially Beatrix Kiddo (aka "Black Mamba"), whom she hates and envies.

Driver had trained with Pai Mei, the violent and irritable Chinese martial arts master who trained both the Bride and Bill, and who plucked out Driver's right eye after she called him a "miserable old fool." As revenge, Driver murdered him by poisoning his food.

Driver, along with the other three members of the squad, attempted to kill Kiddo at a Texas wedding chapel. Kiddo survived in a coma for four years, only to awake and return with a vengeance, killing two members of the squad, O-Ren Ishii and Vernita Green.

Budd called Driver one night, claiming to have captured Kiddo, and offered to sell Kiddo's Hattori Hanzō katana to Driver for $1 million. Driver agreed, and came to Budd's dilapidated trailer in the California desert with a briefcase full of money — as well as a black mamba.

Budd was killed by the mamba, bitten three times as he opened the briefcase. Just as Driver was about to leave, Kiddo burst through the door and engaged her in battle. The subsequent duel ended by Kiddo blinding Driver by plucking out her remaining eye. Kiddo then left the trailer, leaving a hysterical Driver to (presumably) die alone with the black mamba.
