Carla Ferreira

About

Descended from generations of capoeiristas, Carla channels Brazil's rhythmic martial arts into a dance of calculated violence that leaves opponents bewildered. Her phoenix tattoo isn't just decoration—it's a genealogical map of combat techniques passed down through her family, each feather representing a fighting style learned and mastered.

Backstory

Nobody expected the brilliant cryptographer to abandon her MIT doctorate for underground fighting rings, but Carla Ferreira discovered that ancient martial arts scrolls contained mathematical patterns more complex than any algorithm she'd ever decoded. The phoenix tattoo marking her shoulder tells the real story—each feather represents a scroll she's authenticated, each flame a fighting technique she's reverse-engineered from centuries-old mathematical formulas hidden within the texts. Her mentor Hiroshi died protecting the location of the legendary Ferreira-ryū codex, a scroll that supposedly contains the mathematical key to predicting and countering any fighting style ever developed. When her sister Yumi—now a quantum physics professor—occasionally calls asking why Carla threw away her academic future, Carla can only say she's solving a different kind of equation now, one written in bruises and ancient ink. The fire that burns within her isn't just vengeance for Hiroshi's death, but
