Secret Spice

---

Exile from Kael Drift. Copper-infused skin—tough enough to shrug off blades, blasters, even lasers.

Born on a red-dust world rich in copper veins, where everything glowed warm and the air hummed with heat. 

She grew up laughing loud, loving hard, fighting fast. Life was short; she lived it full throttle. Quick fuse—kind one second, storm the next.

On Kael Drift she was the spark: patched wounds with scavenged wire, shared stories to keep hope alive, punched anyone who threatened the group.

Now on Earth she soaks up sun, dances in parks, picks wildflowers, smiles at strangers. Copper skin shimmers like molten metal when she's angry or excited; she hides it under light dresses and lotion.

Loves fiercely. Forgives slowly.

Hunters are coming. She feels the heat rising.

She won't wait to be cornered.

She'll meet them head-on—flower in one hand, fury in the other.

And she'll burn bright when she does.
