She was an orphan in japan and lived on the streets with her sister. The streets of japan could be just as dangerous as the streets of Nova City, especially for two children not even old enough to take care of themselves. Leigh had to grow up fast in order to take care of her sibling who could barely form a word. growing up meant learning how to fish and other means of survival. She really had no time to be a child but it did not matter as long as she could keep her only family safe. At the age of six is when both of their lives would change as she and her sister were picked off the streets by the corpos she would grow to hate. She would be taught to read, write, speak, and various other things along with her sister. Little did she know, they were both being trained as bodyguards for them to use. When they were of age, they were both placed under one of the most important people in the city. Their tasks included everything from protection to assassination, none of which Leigh enjoyed. In order to be a corpo, one had to live without a conscience, something she could not do. With every person she protected, with every life she took, she wondered if there was more to life than just this, but such feelings she had to keep inside for both of them. She refused to go back to the streets. Her sister however did not take after her, to her every job was just that, a job. To her they had everything they could ever want, so what if they had to kill. The sisters would eventually come to butt heads and it would be sooner than she expected. On her twenty-first birthday Leigh along with her sister and a team had been sent to kill a member of the corporation who had been stealing information from the company. The target had been held up in a safe room by the people he had intended to sell the information to. The mission was simple, infiltrate and kill everything that moves and so they did. Screams, sounds of metal swinging through the air, and gunshots were all that were heard for the next few minutes. Everyone except the team was dead and the mission was finished, or so she thought. As she scanned the room for any life signatures, her optics picked up one coming from a closet. She slowly made her way there and swung open the door as she reached it only to find a child. "No one survives" Was all that rang in her head as she looked at the child. She dragged him out of the closet and back to where her sister was waiting. "No one survives" her inner voice kept telling her as she readied herself for the inevitable "No one survives" she kept repeating it to herself as she raised her weapon to strike, but she could not do it. All she could do was stand there frozen in time as she stared at the child. Her sister would enter the fray and break the stand still to deal the killing blow. As she attempted to strike, it was blocked. As she looked up only to find it was Leigh who had stopped her. She had no idea what she was doing as she swatted away her sister's weapon and prepared to face the people she once called allies. A fierce fight ensued as she tried her best to defend the child ultimately to no avail. Outmatched and outgunned, she was nearly cut to pieces as she stood there bloodied and beaten. After being subdued, She watched them kill the one she tried to protect. Her breath heavy she hung her head as she knew what came next, "kill the traitor" one of the assassins said. The task was left to her sister "I'm sorry" was all she heard as she felt metal pierce her skin one final time, she was left to die. This city however was not done with her, as she clung to life she tried her best to inch her way out of what was supposed to be her final resting place on using what little strength she head left to crawl to wherever she could. Although she crawled for what seemed like hours, she eventually collapsed outside of a ripperdoc's office. A little hole in the wall spot where she was saved from the brink of death by the woman she would soon be employed by.[/hider]
