Held by J6 at a young age, Vanessa developed very powerful physical
abilities. She was later rescued by a special forces officer named
Lewis during his assualt on J6. Lewis adopted Vanessa, but was murdered
by terrorists on her 20th birthday. Learning that the terrorists were
targeting VIPs, Vanessa became a security officer and vowed to find her
father's killer. Years later, Vanessa learned that a woman named Sarah
Bryant was being targeted by J6. She immediately contacted the Bryants
and entered the Fourth World Fighting Tournament to protect Sarah from harm.
