A: When my grandmother died, my mother took me to Freedom city, to the small three story brownstone our family owns in Lantern Hills. She took me up into the top floor.
Behind a panel wall and a metal cage. And inside was my grandmothers costume... I had seen my mothers before. But it was modern. Kelval and ballistic fiber, Her sword and equipment.
But my grandmothers suit, it was leather and metal. The bow, the arrows. I knew right then that this was how I wanted to strike fear into the hearts of those they preyed on there fellow man.

But I keep my grandmothers journal and locket she had when she was taken in by the Leclercs. She never even told my mother or me her original family name. Her whole life was taken from her
by the evils of mankind, and then she built a new life on the kindness of mankind. That's why I keep her locket.

A: ~Leans in close so she can whisper~ I where contacts...
