Editing Red Star Dervish (section)

======Background======

Red Star Dervish was born and raised in the impoverished projects of Godseye, one of the lesser districts of Zhen Shou City. She learned the importance of carrying your own weight at an early age, working in various sweatshops and factories to help her family make ends meet. Dervish was raised in a large family with 14 siblings, only of which 3 (including her) were girls, so she's not particulary intimidated by boys. She knows how to make her voice heard, even with thuggish louts. As she grew older, Dervish began to flirt around with the different gangs that were contantly running through Godseye, like filthy water in the gutters.
