Battle scars? Yes, she has them. But, she never expected to get one while protecting the BVB from some knife wielding psychos. She also thought she'd never trust someone again... Juxtapose was forced to live a life that has made her strong, smart and able. Yes, she has a past. And its damned obvious she doesn't like talking about it. Lets just say that after she escaped it, she landed in NewYork, broke, and on the streets for a while. Yeah, she developed connections and street cred, but only to survive. She's been through hell and back, has instincts and habits that have kept her alive, and has this uncanny habit of helping and saving people in danger. Which, makes a lot of the people on the streets owe her favors that she could call in if, say, theoretically, an egotistical psycho maniac starts stalking her. You could say "bad*A*" is her middle name. Even though she might like the idea of disappearing from society, our Juxtapose has a life of adventure and freedom, which starts the ball rolling when Black Veil Brides concert tickets happen to fall into her lap. This is her story... Are you ready? Oh, and one other thing. After having been burned badly before by everyone she'd trusted, including her parents and boyfriend at the time, Jux has to learn to trust and fall in love again. Because what's a good action packed story without a little bit of love on the side for those of us who're a bit more of a teddy bear? The only question is, who's it gonna be? Ashley, the man she meets first? Or Jake, the one who's *A* she saves?
