Lady Shistrike was born in the slums of her large village. Her mother died during childbirth and her father passed soon after. She was living on the streets as a young child. A local gang took her and many other orphaned kids in. She spent her days scamming villagers, stealing from merchants, or doing physical labor to pay her keep. If she made a profit that day she ate. If not, she was punished. She rebelled at first. But, soon learned to keep her head down and do what she was told. She became incredibly good at bringing large profits back to the base. Once she was a young teenager, they had her work on more important missions such as assassinations. She became so skilled that she was tasked with mentoring the children. She became particularly close with one young boy, Akihito. He became a younger brother to her. On days he couldn’t make enough money to eat, Lady Shistrike would steal an extra portion of food. Akihito admired Lady Shistrike’s incredible stealth and fighting abilities.
