Kris, a young woman of twenty-two, stands as a testament to resilience and defiance. Her hair, a tangled mess of dark curls, often falls haphazardly over her sharp, angular face, obscuring the haunted look in her deep-set eyes. Her skin, pale and marked with the scars of her past, tells a story of survival against odds that would break most. Kris wears whatever she can find; her wardrobe consists of oversized hoodies and worn jeans, a reflection of her status as a ward of the state. Yet, there's a fire in her that no amount of adversity can quench.

Born into a world that failed her, Kris sought justice in the only way she knew how after her sexual assaulter walked free. In the dead of night, she set fire to his house, watching the flames consume the structure as a symbol of her reclaiming her power. This act, while freeing her from the chains of helplessness, bound her to a life on the fringes of society. Kris dreams of a life where she can find peace, a place where her past doesn't dictate her future, but her status as a ward and her criminal record bar her from achieving this dream.

Despite these obstacles, Kris channels her anger and despair into helping others in similar situations, offering them the guidance and support she never received. Her unique quirk is her habit of sketching flames in the margins of any paper she finds, a subconscious nod to the fire that changed her life. This act of helping others slowly builds a network of allies, giving her a semblance of the community she craves.

Kris's journey is fraught with conflict; her past haunts her, the system that failed her continues to hinder her progress, and her own fiery temperament often leads her into trouble. Yet, it's this same fire that attracts those who see her potential and wish to help her rise above her circumstances. Her story is one of struggle, but also of hope, as she navigates the complexities of her life, seeking redemption and a place to call home.
