BACKGROUND
Mama Winters always said Ivy could be anything. She chose 'college graduate,' which earned her a mountain of crippling debt just before her mother died unexpectedly. Left with a seized house and no safety net, Ivy channeled her grief into the martial arts they used to practice together. But katas don't pay the water bill.
Desperation forced her hand. When she found a loaded wallet, she didn't do the right thing—she paid her bills. Discovering that crime actually paid, Ivy let the dark corners of the internet teach her the rest: lockpicking, casing targets, and fencing stolen goods. Her small stature and intense physical discipline made her a natural phantom.
Then came the job that ruined—and saved—her life. Bad intel led her to the heavily fortified country home of Colonel Conor Carpenter. She bypassed most of his bleeding-edge security before a hidden taser system knocked her out cold. While Ivy sat in a local holding cell, aliens invaded Earth.
Instead of throwing her in prison, Carpenter offered a choice: rot in a cell, or put her unique talents to work for humanity's survival. The choice was obvious. After eight brutal months of X-COM training, she emerged forged into a weapon. Ivy fights now to repay the man who gave her a second chance, and to ensure no one else is pushed to the brink in a world under siege.
