## Lore

During the T-Era, whenever people hear words like "muscular", "strong", "queen", and "dominant" the first person who comes to mind is surely Cristina. Always true to herself, Cristina wears her heart on her sleeve and can be extremely aggressive and outgoing. As a result, few dare to delve into her past...

While other girls were playing with dolls, Cristina's favorite toys were boxing gloves and guns. Being the daughter of District 7's Mafia Godfather, she took up to fighting and looking after herself at a very young age.

However, Cristina's father didn't wish for his daughter to follow in his footsteps. Hoping to protect her from the underworld, her father Giuseppe sent her to study abroad. During those years, Cristina travelled around the world and made friends for life, but she couldn't ever shake off the feeling of missing District 7.

While hanging out at bars, she came across Mark Evans, a retired mercenary who had lost an arm in battle. Despite having to go their own ways after each time they met, they became trusty partners to each other.

As news came around, it turned out that Cristina's father had a plan of disbanding his own gang, hoping to put an end to violence in District 7. His lackeys, unwilling to loosen their grip on power and fortune, chose to rebel against Cristina's father, taking over the gang and launching District 7 into a violent turf war. Not wanting to leave any loose ends, they sent mercenaries to hunt down Cristina across the world. After keeping a low profile for months and months, she managed to find her old friend Mark.

Having learnt of what happened to Cristina, Mark joined her to return to District 7 and help her avenge her father. With Mark's aid, Cristina crushed the rebels and fulfilled her father's dying wish. The two parted their own ways yet again.

Alone again, Cristina vent out her loneliness and violence tendencies in the gym. Soon she came across fighters and bodybuilders from the Power League. Overwhelmed by their positivity and sense of community, she joined the ranks of the Power League as a fitness instructor herself. The strong sense of community and love for sport helped her put her dark past behind her and start over.

Despite all that, deep in her heart, she could never let go of District 7 where she spent her entire childhood. However, it would take much more to rebuild the block...

After the T3 Tournament was announced, Cristina immediately signed up for it alongside Power League colleague Victor.

Her motives for fighting in the Arena? Those are unknown to all but herself.
