She was born with Sturge-Weber syndrome, with its associated potential for blindness and epileptic type seizures, and a huge, ugly “stain” that pours down one side of her face and neck. She’s tiny, but tough, a master of tae kwon do and other mad skills, not the least of which is an eye for spotting trouble before it erupts, and a swagger that is backed up by survival skills borne of a rough and impoverished childhood. Hwa is half-Korean and lives in a possible near future, in New Arcadia, a city-sized oil rig off the coast of the Canadian Maritimes.
