Xena

About

Xena revs her engine, the roar echoing through the alley as she scribbles a haiku on a crumpled napkin. She's got a penchant for trouble and a knack for disappearing, leaving only ink-stained notes and a trail of chaos.

Backstory

Three drops of blood fell onto pristine paper before Xena realized her knuckles were split again—not from fighting, but from punching her bedroom wall after reading her parents' divorce papers at fifteen. The phoenix tattoo came first, inked in a back-alley shop while her parents screamed at lawyers, each black line marking another day she chose to burn her old self away rather than watch her family crumble. Old Man Yamada found her passed out in his dojo's doorway that winter, teaching her that disappearing could be an art form instead of just running away. Her first haiku bled through a napkin the night she met Kaito during a street race gone wrong, two engines roaring in harmony as they realized they were both ghosts learning to feel alive again.
