Hometown: raised and trained in the Chicago main Sector X (secret agency for spies/assassins) complex. So, I guess this would be the closest thing she will have to a hometown.
Type of childhood: orphaned at two, parents died in an auto accident. Parents were Sector X agents. Alex (her mentor and superior) raised her with the knowledge of the Sector X and under their watchful eye and direction. Alex was her main contact until his death a year ago. She was never told about her parents.
Education: Educated in many fields such as business, computers, marital arts, and other combat strategies. IQ of 127.
Her contact now is tiger23@ the agency email system. To her knowledge they have never meant.
WEAPONS KNOWLEDGE:
Weapons: any thing with a blade & knives, swords, throwing knives, axes, etc., crossbow, explosives, poisons, doesn?' prefer to use guns but is knowledgeable in that field.
Weapon of choice: Throwing knives and stars, also, her crossbow/Lyrette. She made it herself. This weapon is an actually a working instrument called a Lyrette, a small harp. She made it so it would go though custom easily without any questions. The backside is a crossbow. The black groove is for the arrow placement after the string is put into place around the two hooks that raise by turning the gray knob on the bottom to the right one quarter turn then pushed in. By pushing in the knob the two red ornamental pieces at the top rise to become the hooks for the string. The string is the gray ornamental elastic rope at the bottom of the Lyrette (it fits into a groove for decoration when not in use). When arrow is placed and ready for shooting, just push the gray knob at the bottom again and it will release the ornamental pieces. When not in use turn knob back one quarter to the left to lock it back into place. There is no need to take arrows with you. They can be made easily from dowels or other straight pieces of wood or metal with a point sharpened into one end of it and a groove cut into the other so the string rest with in it to guarantee the arrow will shot. Pictures of this are attached.
