Colleen Wing

## Background

### 1981 - 2000: Colleen Wing

Colleen Wing is the only daughter of Asumi Ozawa & Lee Wing. Her was born the only child to Kenji Ozawa, who trained her to be a swordsman & wanted her to keep the samurai tradition alive. Azumi however joined the Hand & ultimately led a group of women who were used by the Hand as assassins. Shortly after giving birth to Colleen, she was killed by enemies of the Hand when Colleen was just a baby.

Colleen's father, a professor of Oriental studies at New York's Columbia University, sent her away to live with her grandfather. Colleen spent most of her youth in the mountains of northern Honshu in Japan, being raised by her grandfather. He trained her in the ways of the samurai, which his own ancestors had been in the time of the daimyo. In time, Colleen learned martial arts & sword mastery before her grandfather passed her his katana.

### 2000 - 2010: Lady Samurai

At the age of nineteen, her grandfather was killed by a crime lord & she learned he had been a member of Japan's secret service, which was also the reason for his death. No longer wanting to stay in Japan with no family, Colleen made her to New York City to live with her father. After only residing in the city for a couple of weeks, she was caught in the midst of a gun battle on Manhattan's West Side but was saved from being killed by police officer Misty Knight.

In no time, the two eventually became best friends. When Misty lost her right arm in an explosion, she was unable to continue active duty & was given a desk job. Seeing her friend depressed, Colleen encouraged Knight to rise above her shortcomings & return to an active role in life. After Knight's right arm was replaced with a bionic steel arm, Colleen & Misty formed a partnership as private investigators & called their firm Knightwing Restorations Inc. Due to Wing's samurai training & both partners' expertise in the martial arts, they were dubbed "the Daughters of the Dragon." The two specialized in missing persons cases & becoming very successful in their work while working with other heroes like Iron Fist & Luke Cage.

She also began a short romance with Cyclops after his former love had been killed in battle. Though Colleen really liked Scott, it was clear the feelings were not reciprocated. She even gave Scott her apartment keys hoping to hook up with him later but he ended the relationship before things could continue.

Colleen has continued working with Misty, reforming the Knightwing Restorations Inc. & also becoming bail bondsman. The women lended bail money to apprehended criminals until their cases worked their way through the criminal justice system. When one of the criminals missed their court date, they would hunt them down & bring them to justice.

Because of their regular partnerships with Luke Cage & Iron Fist, the duo asked them to reform Heroes for Hire to hunt down criminals. They recruited some of their associates (Black Cat, Elektra & Silver Sable) to join their ranks. Things were well for a year until Black Cat left the group & returned to a life of crime, prompting the team's disbandment. Now, Colleen & Misty continue their work through Knightwing Restorations Inc.
