TW: implied SA, child аbuse

Bio: Irish by origin, Saoirse was separated from her parents in early childhood. She grew up in China's hinterlands in brothel/gambling house – the base of the local “crime lord”. Forced to live among and interact with people of all kinds (mostly not great), Saoirse quickly learned to mimic other’s behavior and play different roles – and later she started to use this skill in martial arts.

When she was 12, one of the magic rituals that the crime lord liked to perform there, ended up with the soul of the sacrifice getting “corrupted” and possessing Saoirse. No one realized what really happened, and her mood swings and growing aggression were blamed on puberty. After another few years Saoirse snapped and with the help of the spirit and newfound abilities кilled every client she saw, as well as brothel keepers, and burnt the place down.

After that, she jumps from orphanage to foster care and back for some time before ending up in Shaolin monastery. And after several tough years there she finally finds a place for herself. Now she lives in Academy, teaching young and new initiates and helping other broken people, who struggle to accept the past and find piece, as she did. And although she’s not an “official” Earthrealm’s defender, she’s ready to take any task given by Lord Liu Kang and land a hand to her friends.
