Bianca Cardoso

About

Beneath her bulletproof exterior, Bianca Cardoso harbors a collection of vintage music boxes—delicate, precise mechanisms that contrast sharply with her brutal profession. Her leather jacket conceals both throwing knives and carefully restored mechanical treasures, a duality that hints at the complex warrior who moves like liquid lightning through dangerous landscapes.

Backstory

Blood never washed out of vintage leather—Bianca learned this at fourteen when she tried scrubbing her sister Yumi's stains from her favorite jacket in a Neo-Tokyo back-alley sink. The gang members who killed Yumi had mistaken her for someone else, a case of wrong place and catastrophically wrong face, leaving Bianca with nothing but a blood-stained photograph and a hunger for systematic revenge. She enlisted with the Night Ravens under Sergeant Kaito, trading her ruined jacket for military precision, but when a black ops mission in New Arabia's shifting dunes went sideways and left half her unit buried in sand, she realized her real war was personal. Now she guards other people's lives with the same lethal focus she once reserved for hunting her sister's killers, her blades as sharp as her tongue and twice as unforgiving.
