## Biography

### Early Life

*"In the hands of a true ninjutsu master, anything can be a deadly weapon."*
—Lance White
Mallory was born to Clarissa Marx and her husband, Maxwell Kade, before he left, when her older brother was just 10. This depression thrust Marx to give up Mallory, and was soon found by Lance White. She grew up in Collingswood, training under Lance to become a ninja like himself.

## Personality

*"The size of the package is in no way any indication of the value of its contents."*
—Almanac
Mallory is an enthusiastic yet patient adolescent who admires her adoptive father very much. She is a disciplined bibliophile and a dedicated kunoichi.

## Abilities

*"Mallory, you already possess the kunoichi's most powerful weapon-- the mind."*
—Lance White
* **Skilled Martial Artist:** Mallory has years of training under Lance White, a grand master of Ninjutsu with training in Taijutsu, Kenjutsu and Kyūjutsu, and other martial arts, including Wing Chun-style Kung Fu and Wushu. Lance has trained her to effectively get the upper hand in combat by putting her whole body into a situation. Other than ninjutsu, Mallory's backbone martial art is Wing Chun-style Kung Fu, a fighting style which uses her opponent's strength against them, so it is ideal for smaller people like her. She has been seen practicing with a Muk Yan Jong, a wooden dummy with sticks simulating combat strikes, a tool in Wing Chun, and is also versed in Wushu, as she has been seen using a jiujiebian. As the daughter of Lance White, Mallory is also trained in various weaponry to high levels of skill. She has enough know-how to break down and summarize weapon knowledge to the point of impressing her brother.
	+ **Bow Expertise:** Mallory possesses skill in classic archery, as well as very good aim; she once landed a headshot on a Memory Eater with a conventional arrow. She prefers the bow over all of her training weaponry, claiming that it "gives her distance." Mallory once compared herself to Artemis.
	+ **Knife Expertise:** Mallory is, of her own admission, more skilled with knives and daggers than her bow.
	+ **Sword Skills:** Mallory knows the basics of swordsmanship thanks to lessons with her father, the latter of whom is widely regarded as the greatest swordfighter in recent history.
* **Stealth:** Mallory was well-trained by Lance in stealth. Her short stature allowed her to hide in plain sight from her brother.
* **Skilled Physician:** Mallory is skilled in stitching up and sewing wounds.
