“You won't even see me coming”
Likes

Writers and artists. Espionage and assassination -- and getting paid to do both. Weapons, writing, sushi, June, obscurity, horror movies, dancing (to anything...)

Dislikes

Broken fingers and skates that don't fit. A life without passion(s). Pirates (of today, though the old-school ones are ok).

Athletic Background

Anais Ninja spent most of her childhood and early adulthood brooding in art rooms, avoiding team sports at all costs.  But, there were times where she dabbled in gymnastics, swimming, and occasionally playing football or 'manhunt' with the neighborhood boys.  It was only a couple of years ago that she quit smoking and became an exercise nut, primarily through martial arts.  How this led to roller derby she's not quite sure, but truly wishes it had happened much sooner

Bio

Ninja spent many a day in art rooms and studios, and even got a BFA in painting.  Balancing practice time with studio time hasn't been thoroughly thought out yet, but she hopes to get back to painting very soon and eventually participating in shows again
