Her father was involved with some sort of sensitive work, and was captured (possibly by some form of government agency), leading her to fear federal agents and live in a general state of suspicion. At some point, she had an ally named 'Tank', who was later killed. During an undisclosed incident in Seoul, she developed intense claustrophobia. She had an enemy named 'War Locke', whom she killed in a place called 'Empire Valley'. Her costume was sculpted to resemble a male physique, in order to further hide her true identity.
