Biography: Some people are born lucky and some are lucky to be born. Asana Henderson falls into the former category in every possible way. While many Metas were created, either through scientific means or copulation involving a meta, Alana simply was born. Two normal human parents, four normal human grandparents, and so on. Not an ounce of obvious meta blood ran in her family.
Her superiority was evident almost immediately. She was far ahead of the other children of her age, taking her first steps far before any other and speaking her first words like wise. The local Metas in North America quickly caught wind of her and took her into their custody, not trusting a proper upbringing to her lesser parents. By four years old she had already begun her training, naturally gravitating to the sword.
Masters and tutors were called in from throughout the world for her convenience as was proper and she learned from the best. Taught to use both her super natural skills and normal training in combination with one another.
She achieved fame early in her life, helping to put down a resistance attack at the age of fourteen. She and her adoptive family had been attending a parade when the rebels struck. They used explosives to kill a Meta barely younger than herself, she watched as the poor boy who had been her training partner for so long was blown to bits. In a cold rage Alana helped the members of her family hunt down those responsible. It was that day when she killed her first person, it would not be her last.
At age sixteen she struck out on her own, not wishing to be tied down any longer. She wanted to experience the world and help fight the rebels wherever they might show their faces. It was during these many small battles that she slowly became more unsure of her way of thinking. She still believed that Metas were the superior race by far, it was the obvious conclusion. She however was put off by how many metas treated humans throughout the world, many with unnecessary cruelty directed at innocents.
Within the latest years of her life she has found herself in the thick of the fighting. Australia being the last bastion of open Human resistance has drawn her like a moth to the flame.
