Lennox Johansson

About

Lennox Johansson skids to a halt, her roller skates kicking up dust. She spits out a mouthguard, grinning, 'Another win, another scar.' She's got a tattoo of a phoenix on her neck, a constant reminder of her past life in the flames of competition.

Backstory

Three broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder couldn't stop Lennox from winning the underground derby championship that night, but watching twelve-year-old Luna get shoved around by older kids outside the rink afterward made her realize she was fighting the wrong battles. The infamous 'Hell's Belles' had left her bloodied but victorious, earning her the phoenix tattoo that now marked her neck—a symbol of rising from ashes that suddenly felt hollow compared to the fire she saw in Luna's defiant eyes. She traded Detroit's brutal underground scene for a sleepy town where nobody knew her reputation, determined to build something that mattered: a derby league where kids like her younger sister Mia could learn that being fierce didn't mean being broken. The phoenix on her neck still burned, but now it represented something bigger than personal glory—it was about lifting others from the ashes too.
