Raven Torres

About

Raven Torres kicks a rusty can down the alley, whistling a tune off-key. She's got a tattoo of a phoenix on her neck, a memento from her days in the underground fighting circuit, and a mouth that runs faster than her fists.

Backstory

Three broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder later, Raven Torres realized her abuela's old recipe for pozole was worth more than any underground fighting purse when she traded bowls of the authentic soup for information about missing fighters who'd vanished from the circuit. The phoenix tattoo on her neck wasn't earned through mercy—it marked her as someone who'd died twice in the ring and crawled back both times, making her the most feared information broker in the underground scene. She met Leo when he stumbled into her makeshift kitchen behind the arena, bloodied and desperate, not knowing she was the same fighter who'd been declared dead in the ring just hours before. Despite her reputation for digging up secrets that could destroy lives, Raven spends her quiet mornings at the dog shelter, where the animals don't care about the ghosts that follow her or the Spanish lullabies she hums while cleaning their cages.
