Bare-fisted fo' life

Not everyone in Versino is a privileged student at the Heptagram. No, not at all, many are the now poor people that worked in the defunct auto factories and many other urban dream jobs of yesteryear. Morena Angelo grew up here, and she grew up here poor. And not because her family was one of those former factory workers, but because said family abandoned her. Yup, Morena was left at The Home before she was three years old.
She had spunk, though. A lot of it, too. Maybe too much, as many other kids at The Home were terrified at her aggressiveness that occasionally became genuine beat downs against some of the less docile children (ie, the douchebag boys in Morena's words). She was taller than most of the other girls, and some of the boys as well, so her reputation as the house bully kind of was a thing among the adults that took care of them. But she wasn't all that bad, she only hit people that deserved it. She only gave Evan that broken nose because he broke one of Keran's favorite toys. She only dislocated Kyle's arm when he pushed Tina down the stairs. There's plenty more stories that get twisted to make her look like she was fully at fault. They weren't going to protect the other kids, so she took it up herself.
She loved her house siblings as if they were her own. And she was protective of every single one of them, even the douchey ones. That meant when a couple of the younger boys tried to join a gang, she was pretty furious. But, her involvement is one of the things she now regrets most. Gangs don't like quitters and the sure as hell don't like people who pry. One day, they drove by when Morena and her two younger brothers were hanging out in front of the apartment building across the street from The Home. It's the same old story that tends to run in Versino newspapers; drive-by shooting, two boys dead. Morena was lucky enough to survive the shot she got, she was only hit in the shoulder.
After recovering, Morena began to take her grief out at the local gym. She tried boxing, kick-boxing, wrestling, you name the martial art that gave classes there and Morena took at least a class in it. She was scouted there for a semi-professional MMA league, there was prize money. But she never would keep it all, half would go to anti-gang violence organizations.
And a note that I will take whatever Exaltation.
Also, Versino is soooo Detroit.
