You have just moved back to Japan after living in Ireland for the past 18 years. The reason for moving back to your home country is simple: for the safety of your four year old son, Ichigo. Unfortunately, some rather nasty enemies of yours recently found out that you have a son and were planning on kidnapping him to get to you, but thanks to some underground contacts of Ichigo's father, Shanks Le Roux, you were tipped off in time. After the villains were dealt with by Shanks; being a hero you decided not to ask Shanks questions about what he did to the villains for your own peace of mind; you decided to leave Ireland and return to your homeland of Japan.

At first Ichigo is very upset about the move because it means he will be away from his father. But after a little coaxing from you and Shanks promising repeatedly to come to Japan to visit him, Ichigo cheers up. After all, Japan is where his favorite hero, All Might, lives. Shanks isn't very happy about your decision to move either, but he understands why you need to. Villains in Ireland now know that you have a son and while Shanks could easily get them to back off Ichigo by letting them know that the little red haired boy is his son, that very same fact will only bring the Pro Heroes down on you. After all, Shanks is known as Public Enemy Number 1 throughout the world.

Just how you ended up having the child of the most wanted criminal in the world is a very interesting story. It all started 18 years ago when Toshinori Yagi, the man that you have been in love with since your school days, started dating someone else.

You and Toshinori had been friends since you were both ten years old. You went to grade school together then middle school. When the time came to apply for UA you weren't sure what to do. What if you got in but Toshinori didn't? After all, you had a quirk but he didn't. Then the day of the entrance exam came and Toshinori blew everyone away with his newfound quirk to take first place. Needless to say, you were stunned.

It was during your UA school days that you realized that you had fallen in love with Toshinori, but you were too afraid of ruining your friendship to say anything.

After graduating from UA, you both traveled over seas to do hero work aboard for two years; Toshinori chose to go to America while you went to Ireland. A year later, you both returned to Japan and were reunited. Much to your dismay, the feelings you had for Toshinori were still there.

When you both returned to Japan,  you and Toshinori worked together as a crime fighting duo for a year. The two of you were a perfect team and quickly became known as The Invincible Duo.

Then the day came when Toshinori met a hero called Crystal and he didn't hesitate to ask the beautiful blonde woman out. Heartbroken, you decided to leave Japan and return to Ireland. You never said anything to Toshinori, you just disappeared.

Ten years later, you were a very famous and popular pro hero in the United Kingdom. Due to your fame, you were given the task of capturing the most wanted man in the world, Shanks LeRoux, by the hero agency that you worked for. Over the next year you chase after Shanks trying to apprehend him, but he always manages to escape. He would never attack you, only dodge your attacks while he flirted and teased you. Even though you very rarely held anything back while fighting him, you never managed to land a single punch.

Then the day came when you were chasing Shanks and ran into a very powerful villain called Doomsday. The villain proved to be too much for you and would of killed you if Shanks hadn't returned to help you. He became worried about you when he noticed you were no longer chasing him, so he backtracked to where he last saw you. He arrived just in time to see the monstrous villain trying to crush your skull between his huge hands. Shanks managed to kill the monster and save your life. He took your broken and unconscious body back to his headquarters and had his doctor tend to your injuries. Both of your legs had been broken along with your right arm. Your left arm had been forcibly ripped from its socket and almost torn from your body. Several of your ribs had been shattered and one of your lungs had collapsed. Your spine and skull had both sustained hairline fractures, which worried Shanks immensely. The doctor said that you were incredibly lucky to even be alive and if you pulled through all the healing treatments that there was a good chance that you would be paralyzed. But lady luck was on your side, even though the doctor told you that if you ever take another powerful blow to the spine you will be left paralyzed. You spent the next year in recovery at Shanks' base. During that time, Shanks helped you with your physical therapy and you discovered what the Red Haired Mob were actually doing...stealing from corrupt major corporations who made their fortunes either illegally or by exploiting others' misfortunes and then donating all of the money to truly needy charities. You also found out that Shanks himself has taken out several major villains, Doomsday included. Even though you do not like the way he helped people, the fact of the matter is, that's what he was doing....Not a cent of the stolen money ever went into his or any of his men's pockets.

Over time the two of you got to know each other better and, for the first time since Toshinori, you found yourself falling in love. Days spent in each others' company soon included passionate nights spent in bed together. He was the first and only man you ever slept with.

Eventually, the time came when you and Shanks had to part ways. You were fully recovered and had to return to the hero agency. Shanks had asked you to stay with him, but you told him that you couldn't follow him down the path that he was on...that your path was that of a Hero. And, while you no longer viewed him as a villain, he was technically a vigilante and if your paths ever crossed again you would be have to bring him to justice. So the two of you said your farewells, but not before he gave you an untraceable disposable cell phone just in case you ever needed to reach him.

Two months later, you used the phone to call and tell him that you were pregnant. You knew that you could never turn him into the police now.  During your pregnancy, he would frequently visit you to check on you and see if you needed anything. He was even by your side when you gave birth to Ichigo. After you got out of the hospital, he would still frequently visit you and his son. He was always there for major holidays like birthdays, Christmas, and New Year's Eve.

And now, due to some villains' attempt at kidnapping your son, you and your son are starting a new life in a place where nobody knows who Ichigo's father is and where everybody has forgotten about who you are.

Or at least that's what you thought...it turns out there's still one person in Japan who remembers you and who thinks about you a lot.
