Biography
Ana Ishikawa was a female human born the daughter of Catherine Colby, an American missionary and Shiro Ishikawa, a Japanese native. Shiro was a descendant of the Arashikage clan, an ancient and secretive Japanese order dating back centuries. Though Shiro's father married in to the family, he was taught in the ways of a ninja. Ana's parents met at a market as her mother was visiting Japan with her missionary group to promote their faith & perform ministries of service. The two engaged in a secret affair for the following months & when it was time to go, Catherine's love had grew so strong that she told her group she was going to stay. Shortly after, Catherine confessed she was pregnant. After giving birth to a son, Catherine and Shiro were married in a traditional wedding with Shiro's father presiding over the ceremony. A few years later, they had their daughter Ana.
Though her mother had abandoned her occupation as a missionary, she still embedded catholic virtues & teachings into her children. Her father then taught them simple combat techniques so that they would be able to defend themselves. Shiro's family, the Arashikage clan, had a long standing feud going on with the Yakuza, a notorious Japanese organized crime syndicate. For the most part, Shiro's family was left alone if they did not directly engage with the crime organization. But Ana's brother, Toro, got into some trouble after both him & another member of the Yakuza, Masahiro Arashi, desired the same woman. When Masahiro came to the house to battle Toro, their father took their place & easily gained the upper hand. He would have come out the winner of this encounter but Ana's arrival back home distracted him. Her brother Toro then came to his father's defense but suffered the same fate. Her mother forced Ana's grandfather to flee with her as the man then turned to slay her like her father & brother. The last thing Ana heard was her mother's screams as her & her grandfather ran from their family home.
