Phoenix was once an orphan starving on the streets until the Elbridge family adopted her. Growing up in the prestigious Elbridge family and being the only successor to the large sum of heritage gave Phoenix multiple jealous enemies and fake friends who were after her assets but living on the streets gave her the resilience and strength to survive no matter what.
She is known as Phoenix, and a lady at that, in the eyes of her adoptive parents and the public but secretly she is 'Wolf', a notorious street fighter. If word got out that the Elbridge's daughter was also the famous street fighter, her family's reputation would be ruined and she could be tossed back out on the streets. So, what will Phoenix do when someone makes a connection between the two people? How can Phoenix stop them from telling anyone?

All Jason and Mari cared was that they had each other, and that they would be ok if they had each other by the other's side. But everything changed when Tom had finally had crossed the line, and that was the line that would change the siblings forever. 10 years later, Jason was adopted by billionaire Bruce Wayne aka Batman, has 7 other adoptive siblings, and is Red Hood... whenever he isn't traveling the world, looking for his beloved Pixie Pop.
