## Biography

Paige, Kaz, Marie and Rafe first appear in *A Royale Pain*, arriving from Neathia to help Shun Kazami after Taylean creates Silent Strike. Boulderon teaches Taylean a few pointers, while Rafe and Wolfurio chase Silent Strike away. After Silent Strike retreats, she reveals she is a Gundalian and tells them what Mechtogan really are. She continues to insult the Brawlers' weaknesses, with Rafe agreeing with her. She and Rafe also explain that they were both sent by Fabia Sheen, Ren Krawler, Anne Pearce and Almaz Vontana to help the Battle Brawlers out when Ren and Anne waits for Grey to come back.

She and Rafe are seen in *Back In Sync*, wondering why Princess Fabia and Commander Almaz would send them to learn from the Brawlers after seeing their weak performances from before. They are later shown watching Wynton's battle and victory against Jack Punt.

Paige battles in the Capture the Flag challenge in *Mind Search* alongside Rafe, Runo, Marie and Wynton. The three of them battle Ben Jack and Robin. With their strategy, they successfully capture the flag and defeat Team Anubias and Sellon in the challenge. Paige then reluctantly accepts to be one of the Battle Brawlers' students along with Rafe.

In *Re-connection*, she and Rafe, Kaz and Marie watch Shun, Runo, Julie and Wynton's battle. They discuss Wynton and Julie's determination to battle Shun and Runo, even as they is losing. Shun and Runo eventually wins, but is convinced by Marucho's determination and sees the error in his ways. After seeing the battle, Paige mentions that she is becoming a fan of the Battle Brawlers.

In *Triple Threat*, she, Kaz, Marie and Rafe win their ranking brawls against Chaos Brawlers, and Interspace starts to get better. Later on, she, Kaz, Marie and Rafe take on Ben and Jack while Shun, Julie, Runo and Wynton battle Anubias, Javier, Todd and Robin.

In *Interspace Under Siege*, she, the Brawlers, and Team Anubias take down the Chaos Bakugan, who are raiding Interspace, with help from Spectra Phantom, Vex Lancer, Chaos Epzilon and Infinity Helios. They began to battle Anubias, Javier, Kassandra and Sellon's Bakugan before Dan and Grey arrives.

In *A Hero Returns*, she seems to be annoyed about Dan's attitude and acknowledges Wynton as the leader of the Brawlers. She doesn't believe Dan and Grey's dream and goes as far as to call him crazy, until she receives a transmission of Gundalia being attacked and goes with the Brawlers to save Gundalia from Mag Mel.

When she, Rafe, and Wynton arrive at Gundalia in *Gundalia Under Fire*, they are nearly attacked by Gundalian soldiers. After the misunderstanding is cleared up, they meet up with Cal Arkale and discuss a battle plan to counter Mag Mel's forces. Prime Minister Nurzak asks Paige if she has been a good student for the Brawlers and she concurs. She seems to be quite annoyed at Wynton's plan since it's an ambush, and thus, she has to wait, but Rafe convinces her to believe in Wynton.

In *Battle Lines*, Paige is eager to initiate an attack, since Wynton's plan failed. Later, she and Rafe attack the Chaos Bakugan along side with Grey and his teamates (Lena Isis, Jesse Glenn, Mason Brown, Ren Krawler, Anne Pearce, Zenet Surrow, Ayna Kaiser, Sid Arkale, Wendy Harris, Kate Jones, Kavon Marrow, Logan Colbert and The Sixth Heroes of Reploids) but soon leave. Wynton finds them to sneak into Mag Mel's castle. The group begins to argue but a Flash Ingram blasts them and they fall into the chasm below.

In *Unlocking the Gate*, she is separated with Shun, Julie, Runo and Wynton. They are attacked by Chaos Bakugan but Rafe and Kaz saves them. Later, Dan, Grey, Drago and Leo share their powers with the others, allowing each of the Brawlers to summon their Mechtogan. Paige receives Subterra Vexfist for Boulderon.

In *True Colours*, she and the Brawlers return to Bakugan Interspace. There, they are attacked by Chaos Bakugan, Anubias, and Sellon. Wynton orders Rafe and Paige to escort the remaining battlers to the access point but the two of them join once the battlers are safe. After the fight, they find out that they are trapped inside Interspace.

In *Dangerous Beauty*, she interrupts Rafe's transmission to Wynton and tells him that Chris and Soon are arriving with Sellon. After exchanging insults with Sellon and Chris, nearly coming to blows, both sides are stopped by Dan. Afterwards, she, Dan, and Rafe fight against Chaos Bakugan, with great difficulty. They receive a transmission from Wynton, who reminds them to attack the horns of the Chaos Bakugan and they succeed in destroying them.

In *Behind the Mask*, Paige helps the Brawlers protect their headquarters in Interspace while Wynton tries to make a distress signal. When Dan and Grey fights Mag Mel, she discovers Mag Mel is Barodius, former leader of Gundalia, which irritates her. She successfully escapes Interspace with the other Brawlers after beating the Chaos army in *Interspace Armageddon*.

In *Dark Moon*, she joins the Brawlers, Team Anubias and Team Sellon to battle the army of Razen Titans and beats them but she, Rafe, and Wynton all get taken down by Mag Mel.

In *The Final Takedown*, she, Marie, Kaz and Rafe fight against the Mechtogan Titans. After their victory, she reunites with Dan, Grey and the rest of the Battle Brawlers. What happens to her afterwards is unknown, but it can be assumed she returned to Gundalia.
