## **History**

Mo Ne Choi was born in Busan, Korea with no name. Her parents had abandoned her as a  baby and she had been raised in the home of  a young Korean couple who could not have a child. Once she began attending school, she learned of her adoption. She looked nothing like the other children with her round brown eyes and body shape, thusly teased about it throughout her school career. Her parents never explained how they had found her and only reassured her that she was their daughter.

There came a day, when a man arrived at their door, asking about the child they found 13 years ago. At that time, Mo Ne was at school. She returned only to find an empty house, completely trashed with her parents no where to be found. From there she was put into the orphan home system in Jeonju. She finished out school, struggling in the orphanage as a caucasian girl with a Korean name.

After turning 20, she was forced to leave the home, ending up in the Jeonju crime ring of lost or kidnapped kids who earned money on the streets for the ganglords. After almost being raped, she realized her ability to control the wind when she pushed the man away. After this incident she kept the power to herself, remaining alive and with the least broken bones by stealing. After a large deal between the thugs of Jeonju and those of Seoul went wrong, many of the kids took the opportunity to steal what they could off the dead bodies and run.

With what she was able to grab: drugs and money, she built up enough to get herself out of Jeonju, and Korea. With what was left, she once again worked her ass off and pushed herself through Law school and settled into Gotham. It reminded her the most of her time in Jeonju, with the darkness of it. She decided she would find out what happened to her parents and keep people like those ganglords from destroying anyone else’s lives.

She's been working for Mallory & Associates for about 3 months. As she settled in as a Gothamite she's seen that the law doesn’t do enough to put people away. She started her crusade after stopping a criminal back in the act that she had failed to commit to jail the first time, successfully leaving him for the police and keeping him locked up. Ever since, she decided to take to the streets herself, aligning with an old friend from her street rat days who happens to currently be a police officer.
