Dante Ferreira, The Ironhearted

About

By day, she stocks shelves at the local hardware store, by night, she's the bravest soul in the firehouse, always ready to face the flames.

Backstory

The first time Dante Ferreira saw a house burn down, she was eight years old. Her family's home went up in flames, and her father perished in the blaze. That night, she made a promise to herself: she would never let fire take another life if she could help it. Years later, she traded her small-town life for the call of the siren, becoming the hardest-working volunteer firefighter her station has ever seen. She keeps a small, charred locket—a memento from that fateful night—hidden beneath her uniform, a secret reminder of her purpose.
