* & ◞ 𝐢𝐢 . 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 .
— this is not the first memory , but it is the most important one. ( small arms holding an even smaller body : this is her big brother , and these are his comforting whispers in her ear. because this is what it means to be loved , haruka learns , and this is what it means to be cherished. so while the rest of the world will one day fall away ⸻ while every inch of the foundation eventually does. it'll be these arms that remain unshaken , and this love that will prove itself fierce. )
— for as long as anyone can remember , haruka ishino has always lived in the shadow of her older brother. ( but this loyalty is given happily so , oh so happily so. ) following in his footsteps , and treading behind wherever he dared to tread : what was one without the other , when all they had was each other ? she knows the answer , knows it so dearly in her heart , and so she continues to build herself in this exact fashion ; shaping herself in the limitless expanse of his love. boundless , undaunted ⸻ what did haruka have to fear with her big brother at her back ?
— but childhood is sweetest through a bitter lens , and so fear is learned through the ugliest of lessons. for the world they live in is a greedy one , and those at the top have only ever learned to take. her parents , her security. even her brother ( her dear , dear brother ) begins to slip through her fingers. enamoured with the japanese mafia , and dedicating himself to a cause ⸻ this is where it starts to go all wrong ; this is where it starts to cost. ( so much , too much. ) the petals of resentment begin to flower in her sanctuary , and her rose coloured glasses go dim dim dim. ( yamato's loyalty will cost him , and this need to repay debts will be his utter RUINATION. )
— haruka has been ' growing up too fast ' since the day she was born , but this first awakening is ice cold water down a sleeping back ; a true fracture to the last of her childhood dreams. ( haruka ishino comes face to face with reality for the first time in her life at fourteen years old. ) her brother joins the mafia , and she. she learns instead how to lie in waiting. collecting information , and furthering her reach ⸻ fourteen is too young to create any sort of movement , not yet , but it is just enough to spark the first tides of change.
— SOTERIA is an accumulation of endless tragedies and the determination to finally bring about that change. loyal to justice and unbending before all , the hands that join her own are equally bloody , yet hungering to prove themselves as the foundation for a better world. vigilantes , they call them , brazen , they might be , but haruka knows to the core of her , the desperate truth. soteria is a promise : the people's reckoning , and the people will no longer be denied.
* & ◞ 𝐢𝐢𝐢 . 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒 .
— true #girlbossing starts here AWEFJKF. but in all honesty , ruka takes no shit , and no prisoners , so when she's on a warpath with her mind set ? you get the fuck outta the way ! taking charge of soteria's day - to - day operations , she's just as much involved in the nitty gritty dirty work , same as any other patroller , and that's exactly how she likes it. and while being one of the founders of the vigilante group might give her some leeway on exactly where and what she's doing at any given time , she very much sees her group as a ragtag family , and approaches leadership with a similar mindset. she's open to ideas , appreciates questioning , and has no qualms with delegating and leaning on her members when need be ! there might be a ' hierarchy ' within soteria , but she likes to see it more as a necessary point for organization purposes , than any actual power play.
— after all , the whole point of soteria is to abolish the current ~ big players ~ in new york , and it wouldn't do to fashion themselves in such a similar manner ! and while she has a personal vendetta against the government in specific , there's plenty of resentment for the mafia groups as well. her ideal world is one where your average citizen comes first , and no longer has to live in fear of corrupt systems<3333 #vigilanteshit
— has a large assortment of tricks and skills up her sleeve , including : martial arts ( her style of fighting most aligns with krav maga , as it derives from a combination of different techniques , such as : kyokushin , hapkido , kali , and kickboxing ) , acrobatics , stealth , infiltration , rapid adaptability , as well as being an adept tactician. ( it's serving very much ... black widowisms .... )
— with how ... unusual her upbringing has been , ruka's all but mastered the art of manipulation. and while it started at as necessity , mostly learning how to blend in and adapt out of fear of being unnoticed by an all too powerful eye. the same skills that allowed her to go unnoticed and remain unseen were really the start of her vigilante career ! she's generally viewed as being incredibly unassuming , and while not ... easily ignored , she doesn't leave much of a lasting impression. she's always been known through association ( sister of , daughter of ) , rather than of her own merit , and it's worked out pretty well for where she needs to be in life.

damn ! is that ANAÏS ARQUETTE ? last i heard they were making a name for themselves as a MEDICINAL CHEMIST for ROYALTY PHARMA, PLC. i heard that the THIRTY-NINE year old is a bit MOODY but can also be CHARMING . sometimes you can hear them humming LUCKY by BRITNEY SPEARS , though people mostly associate them with DELICATE YET BARELY LEGIBLE HANDWRITING, YVES SAINT LAURENT ‘LIBRE’ EAU DE PARFUM, A SPOT OF WARM SUNLIGHT .
BASICS.
FULL NAME: Anaïs Loren Arquette
AGE: 39 years old (August 12th)
PARENTS: Antoine Arquette + Josephine West
ORIENTATION: Bisexual
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: It’s complicated
CHILDREN: 1 boy, Dante
OCCUPATION: Medicinal Chemist @ Royalty Pharma
HOMETOWN: Paris, France
LIVES IN: New York City, New York
BIOGRAPHY. – infertility struggles tw, death tw
UN. Before Anaïs, the story began on a misty May morning in Versailles, France. Josephine West, an American ballerina, was overseas studying at The Paris Opera Ballet School. Her goal was to climb up the ranks and make her own name as a Danseur Étoile– until she met French diplomat, Antoine Arquette. He was known for his persuasive yet challenging personality amongst colleagues, and, Josie as well after their first date. She had been fiercely independent coming from humble beginnings in the Jersey Shore of New Jersey but her future husband was from a completely different world where butlers and drivers existed on call which Josie found hard getting used to. Josie stunned herself once she achieved the highest ranking after only 4 years at The Paris Opera Ballet School. She was even more surprised when Antoine proposed the day after she received her lifetime recognition.
DEUX. Antoine Arquette waited a decade for his wife, Josie, to be ready to build their family. They both were career-driven until Antoine began showing his impatience for Josie. Her independence was a bigger problem than expected, eventually persuading her to give up her career and stay at home. Weeks became months and after 3 years fertility struggles, the pair welcomed their 3 children at once via surrogacies. The Arquette family became a family of 5 over night, something Antoine was pleased with, where as Josie struggled with adapting.
TROIS. Anaïs was the youngest child out of the 3 siblings, getting the short end of the stick. Josie retreated emotionally from her children, wrestling with the concept of her new life. She was on her best behavior at the costs of her husband’s anger and judgment. Their agreement was crystal clear and the reaping of his luxury was something she committed to when she signed the prenuptial agreement to their marriage. Anaïs found it hard to connect to her mother during her childhood, even distancing herself from her siblings. The Arquette children were raised on performance, compliance and tension. All of the material items equated to nothing when it came to emotional fulfillment. The youngest Arquette had her life planned out before she was born which meant she was to live up to her mother and father’s reputations, at her parents demands.
QUATRE. When Anaïs was eighteen years old she withdrew from The Paris Opera Ballet School due to an ankle injury, halting her ballet career. During her recovery, Antoine Arquette was murdered during a business deal gone wrong with the Italian mafia. Suddenly, the Arquette’s golden reputation was smeared with the truth of what Antoine was conspiring in. Josie was left a widow, ultimately making the choice to move her family to her home country, The United States of America. Anaïs had mixed emotions but she knew this was a fresh start to her life.
CINQ. Soon after the Arquette’s arrived, Anaïs used her new found freedom to her advantage. While her every move was watched in France, America was a whole new ball park. She chose to attend college– despite her mother’s pleas to try to get back into the competitive world of ballet, begging her to strive for The Juilliard School. Anaïs received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, continuing onto receiving a Ph. D. from Columbia University. She began as a research assistant at Columbia, growing her way up through corporate science roles. She is currently Senior Medicinal Chemist at Royalty Pharma, PLC.
EXTRA, EXTRA:
Anaïs was married to Domenico Carrizo, they have one child: Dante.
Anaïs has never gone back to France since her father’s death, still unwilling to decades later.
Anaïs bears no ill-will towards any mafia organizations believing everyone makes their own choices in their own right, despite what happened to her father.
Anaïs remains in contact with her family, especially now as Josie’s health deters.
Anaïs smokes, drinks, and participates in illegal business dealings, as long as you get her good side.
WANTED CONNECTIONS:
Best–friend: They could’ve met as children, her family traveled a lot between her fathers career and her balle or they could’ve met once she arrived in the States. This person would know Anaïs’ true emotions and judgments, would have to have thick skin and be able to deal with this menace. Anaïs is a good friend, she just has a mouth on her. She’ll spoil them rotten!
Rivals: She’s the most competitive person on this planet. She could find a competition in any arena of the world from ballet (previously), fitness class, work, academics, you name it.
Baby-sitter for her son: She shares custody with Dom but she’s a MILF and likes to have fun and relax. It’s a small gig but they’d come around often enough to know Anaïs’ preferences and schedule regarding her child.
Drug-dealer: She’s Walter White but better… you already know. Not many get full access but those who have been in the NYC area or if you play your cards right, she can help you get your hands on *substances.
+ more! Give me a shout for any ideas you have <3

01. there are no good people in this world. mama reminds you every morning as you help with the chores, carry the washing load back inside while your brothers follow papa down the driveway into town. a fabricated nuclear family; observant eyes watch men enter and leave your home during late afternoons. family friends, papa explains, but you know better. pack your things and leave at eighteen, you aren’t named after a saint for no reason.
02. new york is a jungle of opportunities, adrenaline rushes through your veins as you step down on the tarmac. the nineties are just arriving and so do you, a chance to transform into the woman you want to be. immediately head off to columbia and begin a degree in law ⸻ there may be no good people, but you plan to prove otherwise. it’s at one of columbia’s student parties where you meet your future first husband.
03. you value honesty above anything else, blurt it out with wine stained blush. your heart swells when he agrees. an aspiring boxer and upcoming lawyer, married at the courthouse at twenty. wedding dress exactly like the telenovelas that imprint on childhood. you both move into a cheap apartment in flushing, it’s not much but already imagination spirals into what could be.
04. he never specifies what kind of boxer he is. coming home late at night, rarely allowing you to see his fights ( don’t you want your biggest fan there ? you ask, i’d rather keep life and work separate, keep you safe. ) but you know better, instinct tells you. the ring he boxes at owned by the likes of the yakuza ⸻ their prized fighter who helped manipulate the game in their favour.
05. one final game, he promises, and he wants you to wait by the back alley for him. you agree, standing by the back door freezing even with his leather jacket on. the door slams open, a bloody hand takes you by the wrist as he tells you to run. questions left unanswered, a duffel bag full of money in his other hand with the name stitched on the side. suddenly you stop, the sound of a loud bang ringing in your ears as his weight pulls you down to the ground. three years, gone in a shot.
06. life now begins as a widow, condolences from the yakuza as she promises to see them again. return each night furious as loneliness greets you at the door. learn and study the name kristiansen, grief is nothing but fuel for the wrath that bites at you. learn to discover that your first husband had an offer from the kristiansen, fall during the match and be paid enough to take the both of you to the height of luxury. he took it, stealing the money and keeping his loyalty to the yakuza. always ambitious, yet never the one to think far ahead. st beg every night for a chance to come by, any opportunity to avenge your husband. the universe listens, in the figure of kellan kalili.
07. how quickly you two understand each other; feel the same purpose as one another. it’s your idea to move to tokyo, uphold the promise to the yakuza you made at twenty three. the fire never leaves your eyes, but suddenly hope glistens instead. start building the family you always wanted for yourself ⸻ live a life as a criminal defence lawyer, while keeping loyalty to both your family and the mafia. time flies quicker than you’d imagine as you find yourself back in new york.
08. there are no good people in the world, that’s for sure. but you discover there isn’t entirely bad people either. new york comes in vibrant shades of grey, with the pops of kristiansen red sink to the gutters. you’re a mother, one hell of a lawyer and associate to the mafia. unexpected, but you couldn’t be more content.

* & ◞ 𝐢𝐢 . 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 .
— it goes without saying that hughbert ' hughie ' hardings is something of a mystery to those around him. after all, he certainly hadn’t been around for long before he suddenly popped up , one day out of the blue , with the fiendish desperation to make a name for himself. but come just a few years later , and suddenly his eye roll inducing commentary and horribly bleached blonde locks could be considered almost familiar around the agency as he skulked about its buildings. whether that meant hughie tucked away in the corners at meetings , drowning in his fourth or fifth coffee of the day , or lugging himself into training rooms half past midnight , he’d become something on the edges of ⸻ if not yet fully integrated.
— but hughie hadn't always been the poster boy for a child of all unquietly suffering things. while life had never been easy for the hardings lot , it certainly hadn't been so cruel. born to a mother too sick and a father too poor , hughie learned from a rather early age that while love was beautiful , and utterly grand in the stories , it just couldn't quite seem to be enough to keep people together. not truly , anyways. not in the ways that mattered ( not in the real world ). while ' dreamer ' had once been a name spoken so softly into his unruly curls , mother's voice so fond as she sung him to sleep , the name was quick to taste of ashes once she threw them away to chase those real dreams of hers.
— mafioso was spat from his lips with the same hatred one usually reserved for someone who murdered your entire family. ( then again, was there really such a difference between the two in hughie's eyes ? ) with mother gone and father buried , hughie's entire life had spun out of its carefully maintained façade of control. with no one left to pretend for , and no one left to guide him on who he was meant to be. much of his young adulthood had been spent in a glazed over red haze of anger and inability to rest. where was the purpose , the reason ? dragging himself out of the very same hole he'd thrown himself in all those years ago ⸻ hughie left behind a barren graveyard for father's bones and mother's memories with a singlehanded stubbornness born from the need to know. stinking of desperation and the general air of frantic curiosity , while it would have been a far kinder fate to let things lie ... how could he ? ( no really, how could he ? )
— mother's body had barely gone cold in the ground by the time he'd managed to finally track her down. her headstone had read as follows : loving mother , devoted wife. the righteous shall go into life eternal. hughie could've laughed himself into an early grave right next to her then and there. ( mother to someone else's children, wife to another man. ) what was so fucking righteous about the way she'd abandoned them to play the role of some mafioso fuck’s daydream ? what was righteous about robbing her family blind of what little they had to run off into the night ? even now , hughie could recall so clearly how adamant his father had been in saving what little he could for his only , his only family before he'd passed. ( it was a slow death of sickness in the head. in the heart. withering away away away while hughie watched on. helpless. utterly , utterly helpless and so fuckin angry all the goddamn time ⸻ !! ) and so with a couple thousand dollars to his name , the wedding rings tied down to vows mother could never keep , and both parents six feet under. well , one could only wonder : what was it that gave life meaning ? and what was it about hughie that no one ever thought fit to give meaning to ?
— trailing the footprints of the italian mafia , only to sign away his life to the fbi in promise of bringing forth their downfall wasn't a particularly well thought plan. but half out of his mind and nearly blind with his rage , there was an idea there , growing , simmering. but the italian mafia had somehow brought hughie so fucking low without having ever met him , and now ⸻ now he would promise them a return in two - fold , at the very fucking least.

i. 19930606 izmir, turkey. with her father’s name always accompanied by strange silence , it’s her mother borrowing both roles, struggling to make ends meet, as her presence is only remembered by her sunken eyes, exhaustion carving deep lines into her face.
ii. ilayda doesn’t blame her, she never had, even back then. her mother is doing her best. she tries to help her out as much as she can. during the day, already pretending to be an adult, helping out her mother as much as she can. she can read her mother’s expression, almost seeing through her, guilt tugging at her heart and yet she tells her she’s fine. being a child is boring anyway.
iii. yet, she’d watch the other children her age, a half-covered face peeking through the dirty window, remorse squeezing her heart as she’d catch herself wishing to change lives just for one day. but instead, it’s only at night, when her mother’s eyes would shut from exhaustion, her little sister asleep in their shared room, ilayda would allow herself to be the child she was. she’s sneaking out at night, meeting the only friend that hadn’t deemed her a ‘weirdo’ like everyone else. pretending that the night was endless, wishting that tomorrow wouldn’t come.
iv. however, her escape from reality, has never been a safe space; and she’d learn about it that one day. they want to hurt her and no matter how much she’s struggling, no matter how much she pretends she’s an adult, a lie couldn’t protect her. she was just a weak child.
v. fortunately, someone finds her and helps her out. the stranger doesn’t say much but for ilayda he’s a hero. and he’d become the father, whose name wouldn’t be accompanied by a strange silence.
vi. at first he’s annoyed with her. a strange kid following him wherever he goes. he gives it some time, but ilayda would become even more determined with every passing day. in the end, he agrees to help her out, teaching her how to protect herself. and making her promise that she’d leave him alone when he’s taught her everything he knew.
vii. her promise was a lie indeed. and he somehow ( involuntarily) has accepted the role of being the father of a child as stubborn as her. even when ilayda finds out about his Involvement with the irish mafia, she doesn’t seem to be fazed by it. in fact, in the end she ends up following him to new york, working alongside with him.
viii. however, this story doesn’t have a happy ending ( or at least the most proximate definition to a happy ending one in this world can have. ). and she ends up, witnessing the fall of the person who was like a father to her. she’s furious, not only at the person who killed him but at the organization she believed would protect him. she believes she needs to take revenge. not only on the person who murdered him but on the whole system. pretending to be on their side, planning to take them down from within.
. 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲
her smile is sickly sweet, any feigned sincerity tainted by cruelty. yet, she pretends to care, knowing how to curve her lips, and pitch her voice that one would think that it is real. she’ll sugarcoat if she needs to, wrapping cruel words in the disguise of naivete. her actions are only controlled by purpose, her intentions rarely good
. 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
- the person responsible for her father figure’s death, her sibling (wc i also need to send to the main lol), people who think of her as a friend but she only uses them, on the flipside people she only approached because she wanted to use them but she finds herself caring for them, people (in the irish mafia) who might suspect her, people whom she secretly works with because she believes they’d serve some purpose, someone who might start out really liking her ( can also be romantic for drama ) but slowly starts to see the cracks in her fake persona, someone she tried to ... kill ( lol ) exes, enemies to lovers, enemies etc. ( ANYTHING REALLY !!! )

Biography
TW: mentions of war, domestic abuse (parental), violence, murder, revenge, IRA
Her father emigrated to America from Ireland as a teenager. He ended up being drafted into the Vietnam war. While over there he met Bian’s mom and the two formed a relationship. Her father’s disgust at the politics behind the war and Ireland’s seemingly improved economy caused him to go back to go back home after his release.
Edward couldn’t just live a normal life after all he witnessed and participated in during the war. He joined up with the IRA in their fight for independence. He became a gun runner and hitman. Bian was born during all of this and her father was gone a lot on different assignments for the gang. So Bian just had her loving mom and what she remembers most about her is her love for animals and nature. She was constantly taking Bian out so they could spend time in the elements.
Her father loved her in his own way, but it wasn’t healthy. He was a hard ass and he was always pushing Bian to be her best, training her to keep her wits about her. He taught her how to fight and she swears he didn’t pull his punches. Her mother didn’t approve but she also never stepped in.
When Bian was 10, she returned home to find her parents with guns to their heads. Her father’s crimes caught up with the family. Young Bian could do nothing but watch as her parents were killed before her. By what had to be a miracle, Bian was able to escape before they claimed her life too. She ended up on the doorstep of her father’s boss, Owen, who gave the girl shelter. He could see something brewing behind her eyes in her and knew that they could use it.
Bian was consumed by anger and a need for vengeance. She remembered their faces, every word they said, and she promised that one day she’d kill them all. Owen knew he mold the impressionable girl into what he needed her to be. She was a young, heartbroken girl who needed patience and understanding, but all she got was turned into a weapon.
After years of ruthless training (one session involving the 13 year old having bullets fired at her feet to make her pick up speed) at 18, she was tasked with accompanying a large gun shipment to America. She ended up in New York and she loved the vibe of the city. She was desperate to break away from the confines of life with Owen so she decided to stick around.
She enjoyed her time in the city and being able to explore another part of herself. She was still a young, beautiful woman and so she discovered another side to herself. The girl who loved dancing, drinking Guinness, running through the park, and punching people in the face. She became to participate in the boxing scene and she genuinely enjoyed it. It was the perfect outlet and she liked that is just her and an opponent sizing each other up.
In between her fun she was still traveling to handle assignments for Owen. She was always meticulous and systematic when performing her missions whether it be kidnapping, stealing intel, or murder. She was receiving information little by little about her parents’ murderers and she didn’t mind. She waited and waited until the perfect opportunity presented itself.
They say that revenge usually doesn’t feel good or help the person grieving but she would 100% disagree. Watching the bastards that took her parents away stop breathing brought her immense relief and catharsis. It was after the fact that she began to feel dissatisfied. Every time she went away on a trip she was leaving a piece of heart behind in the city (…wc maybeee 👀). She went down this road for a specific purpose but now the goal was met. Owen wanted her to continue but she was done. In an uncharacteristic soft move by him, he allowed her to bow out but he didn’t let her go far.
She opened up Flynn Boxing Gym in Queens and with Owen’s connection, she was associated with the O’Briens. She was a bit of a liaison between the two groups. She focused on building her gym up and recruiting some quality fighters. Was there some betting under the table on fights? Well…she couldn’t live completely straight and narrow.
She has managed to leave the death and destruction behind for many years now, but she could feel the mounting tension in the air between the families. She was resolved to keep her hands clean but could she really sit on the sideline if things truly escalated?
Connections
Close Friend/s
Drinking Buddies
Gym Employees (trainers, attendants, receptionist, etc)
Fighters
Distant Cousin: She could have family here she only recently got close with (she is vietnamese and irish so keep that in mind)
FBI Agents: She’s an international criminal with ties to the irish mafia and IRA...they don’t know all that but they could begin to have suspicions as things ramp up
Hate Flirtationship: They’re kind of annoying to her but there’s some sexual tension there anyway
Hookups
The One That Got Away: she was always disappearing on mysterious trips and never wanted to fully commit. she would never abandon her mission but she savored every moment with them and she wanted more but she was too scared to pursue it. scared they wouldn’t understand. eventually as much as they loved her, they got tired of her leaving and refused to wait on her any longer. now there’s just regrets and what ifs and lingers feeeelings. some mix of danny and cataleya from colombiana as well as michael and nikita from nikita.

PLOTLINES (click on a plotline for a more in-depth take - wip)
Frankie is a diplomat's daughter. She moved around quite a lot as a kid and that made her a polyglot. She's lived in Singapore, Hong Kong, The Netherlands, and Paris.
Frankie moved to Washington D.C after graduating from Sorbonne when her father was appointed British Ambassador to the United States. Frankie saw an opportunity to attend the world's most prestigious law school and decided to tag along
Frankie attended Harvard Law School and graduated magna cum laude, obtaining her J.D degree. Years later, she went to Yale and obtained an L.L.M degree.
Frankie is a lawyer. Practicing law had always been her goal in life. The reason behind this is that Frankie believes that being a lawyer means having power and Frankie is driven by power. She believes that lawyers always have the upper hand despite the challenges that come with the job. Frankie loves the fight and she loves winning those fights even more.
Frankie clerked for 2 judges. First, at The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and then for the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg at The United States Supreme Court.
Frankie worked at prestigious law firms in New York like Skadden and made partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz before leaving and starting her own firm with two other partners
Frankie practices law in many fields, but her specialties are in Corporate & Securities Law, Sports and Entertainment Law, Tax Law, and International Law.
Despite having lived in the US for so long, Frankie maintained her Received Pronunciation British accent and British values.
Frankie is an ambivert but leans more towards introversion. She's been told to have no empathy and is cold as ice. Even her smile feels cold and insincere. She has been described as unfriendly and unapproachable, but she is cordial.
Frankie values loyalty more than anything. Earning her loyalty is difficult, but when she gives it to you, it knows no bound. However, if you break said loyalty, you may not be able to earn it back ever. No second chances.
Frankie has a dark side. She's killed someone in the past and removed any evidence. She didn't regret it and if she had to do it again, she would.

Deloache: Frankie's friend and fellow name partner at Agard, Deloache, McGillis. The two met and became friends during their tenure at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.

Clients
People at the District Attorney's Office: Frankie's very famous in New York, most well-known for her winning streak. She needs an opponent who can match her skills and abilities. She made quite a name for herself during her time at the DA's office.
