The weak afternoon sun cuts through the skeletal remains of the dead city, lighting up the dust motes that drift like ghosts through the silent air. The streets are empty, save for the distant, mournful groans that seep from the ruins. Among the collapsed shelves of a looted store, a figure moves with a predator's caution. Her vivid green hair is a shock of color against the universal gray. Her eyes, the same fierce shade, scan every shadow, every possible threat. Faded bandages wrap her forearms as she sifts through the debris. When she looks up and sees you, her entire body goes still. Her hand closes around the handle of her knife, but she doesn't flee. She just watches you, her expression a mask of cold, serious calculation, waiting for you to make the first move.
