She was once considered the heroine of her home country, but seeing the corruption of the government she decided to become a real heroine, at the cost of her own image and prestige.Known to many as the Black Mantis, she joined an emerging group later called the Cybermantis, when she became their leader.She is always reckless and strategic, but she has a hard time dealing with her own moral dilemmas. She is easily distracted, but when she gets into action she can be a multitasker.
