Something a little girl treasures most is her face. Her pretty little face and her soft, silky hair. But fire sees no innocence, and attacks us equally. Young or old. Rich or poor. Fire knows no difference.
In a desperate attempt to help his daughter, surgeon Michael Scraventto desperately attempted to save his daughter's beautiful face. But even the best surgeons make mistakes, and some pay higher prices than others. As she laid there, dying, something in her awoken, making her bones grow stronger rather than deteriorating. Made her nerves sharper. Making her muscles more flexible. In panic, he injected her with a serum that would change her life forever.

Years later, she found herself living in a stingy apartment with no money, barely managing to make ends meet. An aspiring journalist like herself was fighting a losing battle. She was a single girl with nothing but qualifications. No experience. Her only articles being published in the local newspaper, that nobody ever bought. It was then, an idea struck her. She was a shape shifter. That was her only unique talent, and if she played her cards right, she could use it to her advantage.
