History: Believed to have started as a fighter in the Umkhonto we Sizwe in the mid 80s. With progress being made toward ending Apartheid, she left for unknown reasons and became a mercenary in 1992. Leaving South Africa, she worked as a mercenary for various revolutionary or terrorist groups. Angola (1992-1993), Rwanda (1993-1994), Somalia (1994-2003), Democratic Republic of the Congo (2003-2006), Yemen (2006-2008), Sri Lanka (2008-2009). First appeared in Roanapur in 2009 and began selling her services as a gun for hire.
Personality Profile: Aggressive and combative, but capable of cool professionalism when required. Swears almost constantly. Spends her money almost as fast as she earns it. Seems to follow a mostly nihilistic philosophy; openly mocks revolutionary rhetoric. Her motivations seem to be purely mercenary, following no ideology.
