japanesedruid | sixwordstories canon notes

Reiko Yavie remembers being raised in Scotland until she was about eight years old. That was when her grandfather went to her school to fetch her, telling her her parents were dead.

Reiko hasn't had contact with them the past six years and believes they might in fact have been murdered. During this time her grandfather has worked at it, turning her into an assassin for hire, sending her on missions that he doesn't expect her to return from.

Her last mission she was sent on she refused to carry out the orders, because of this she can't return to Japan because she knows if she does she'll be taken to her grandfather and probably killed.

She's only learning about her ability, which is to 'heal' others. She takes their wounds into herself 'storing' it for later.

Even though she's been added to the Brotherhood's fold she's made friends with Colossus, and despite her 'big brother', she's trying to figure out where she really belongs. She knows that both of them would protect her, and knows that she'd protect them if she had to, making both men a weakness.

Also makes it hard for her to choose one side to be on, because she doesn't want to see either of them hurt.
