To prep herself for the journey, Zoe packed a few sets of clothes (given by Yours Truly, Blueberry), healing potions (recommended by Queen Arlina), ever-lasting lunch sandwiches (which would regenerate every 24-hour), and the files containing the limited information about the Flame sisters. As she exited the main gates of the Flame Kingdom, the watch-guards gave her an honorable bow before watching her fade away from their line of sight.
Once far enough, Zoe finally let her shoulders drop in relief. She felt too stiff among the people of the kingdom and she needed her alone time for air. Zoe decided to read up on the siblings to absorb the only accessible information, which was consolidated by the kingdoms' spies. Reaching in her bag, she pulled out four opaque files that were entitled 'TOP SECRET'.
The first file was labeled 'FLAME SISTER 2'. This confused Zoe as she rummaged through her bag for the first file, yet she soon discovered such a file wasn't dispensed to her. Hence, the girl moved on and opened the file. A close-up of an orange ponytail hair girl was clipped onto the corner. The first paragraph was as such…
COMMON BIODATA
Full name: Blaze Cornelia Flame
Age: (currently) 26 years old
Description:
Orange long hair (usually tied in a ponytail)
Red burnt-edged coat
Brown brunt jeans

LIFE INTRO:
Blaze was born during the age without King James. She was raised in the kingdom until the age of 10, which she was forcefully transferred to a lovely town without the consent of Queen Arlina. Her memory of her royalty life was discarded by then and she grew with the aid of Prince Silver who is currently concealing his true identity.
CURRENT LIFE:
Blaze is currently living a modest life as the heroine of her town and her fellow friends. She uses her powers to protect them all and she is romantically involved with Silver who was her former classmate in high school and college.
------
Her footsteps stopped as she flipped through the other pages in the file. It was reports of Blaze's battles and victors against various enemies. Zoe discovered that the first battle took place at the age of twelve were a trio attacked her at school for a known cause. She closed the file with a quick slap and slipped it into her bag before pulling out the second file.
The second file was entitled 'FLAME SISTER 3' and a small passport-sized picture of a red curly-haired girl in a cap and an artillery jacket slipped out. Zoe gave the picture a glance before the corner of her lips shook. 'She doesn't look so happy…' The contents were comparable to Blaze's.
COMMON BIODATA
Full name: Janet Flame
Age: (currently) 24 years old
Description:
Red short curly hair (usually hidden in a cap)
Green army coat
Black pocketed slacks
Personality: Rage against anyone who pisses her off; short temper
Powers: Flame-type Ninjutsu
LIFE INTRO:
Born from an experiment between chemicals taken from both king and queen of the kingdom. She was sent to the incinerator once they concluded she was a failure. But someone had saved her and sent her to a ninja village where she grew up alongside her friends.
CURRENT LIFE:
Jane lives with her ninja friends, humbly training, and working around the clock on missions. She hates people who call her 'Janet' and prefers Jane. She's a short-tempered, hothead who is extremely strict with anyone she meets. She is often gone on missions and returns enveloped in the blood; proof this sister is an extreme murderer.
------
Zoe stared at the final line and blinked rapidly. 'An extreme murderer? Does she really kill people without mercy?' Zoes' eyes floated towards the reports which were filled with mission notes, a number of deaths, and the amount of damage deflected upon the area included. She decided that knowing the amount of blood on Jane's hands weren't worth it and quickly slid it behind Blazes' file. Zoe moved her mind to the third file.
The third file was entitled (unmistakably) 'FLAME SISTER 4'. The profile picture was a navy blue-haired boy. 'No, wait… It's a girl with short hair..' The bunny ears made Zoe blink twice before planning to confirm the file.
COMMON BIODATA
Full name: Zahira Flame
Age: (currently) 22 years old
Description:
Dark blue short hair (usually mistaken as a guy)
Blue jean jacket over a black thin tank top
Black slacks
Bunny ears', tail and nose
Personality: Kind-hearted and loves machines
Powers: Bunny abilities (wide-ranged hearing and sight)
LIFE INTRO:
Experiment from a laboratory. Zahira was raised as an agent for the woman who made her and she swore to work for her until death. Unfortunately, she was soon adopted by Queen Arlina for the sake of an heir. The girl loathed the idea and escaped the kingdom, freeing herself from the fate of the choice made by her highness.
CURRENT LIFE:
Zahira lives with her gang of mechanic friends. They all work in a small town. She often takes in customers who require fixing their vehicles. She enjoys her life as a mechanic and is used to many mistaking her as a boy. (Doesn't give you the right to joke about it)
-------
'An experiment? I wonder what happened to the woman who made her? And what does this file mean by 'agent'?' Zoe read a few of the prepared reports yet her efforts were soon to waste as she realised it was mostly scientific genetic notes on animal and human DNA and mutation strains. Zoe slowly slid it back with an awkward cough and glanced around. She hoped nobody read that part of the file. If news got out the fourth daughter isn't even related, a riot would surely erupt.
Finally, the rough tomboy college student; Ricky Flame. Her picture was taken during her final high-school years. She was also adopted due to her skills catching the queen's attention. She had natural blonde hair that reached her shoulders and wore a high school uniform. Currently studying in an academy, this 20-year-old girl likes to challenge anyone and accept any challenges. She's plainly a fun and games type of kid but hates cheaters.
COMMON BIODATA
Full name: Ricky Flame
Age: (currently) 20 years old
Description:
Blonde shoulder-length hair (usually laid on her shoulder)
(usually seen in…) high school uniform
Personality: Battles anyone when a challenge is mentioned
Powers: Heavy strength, speed, agility, and battle strategising
LIFE INTRO:
Ricky is just a normal girl from a normal family. She was raised in town, lived a normal life through kindergarten and elementary school. She was only chosen during her entry to high school based on Queen Arlina's perspective in her daily skills.
CURRENT LIFE:
Ricky lives in an apartment, at times with her closest friend (a boy). She constantly fights against people who challenge her and she protects her school from attacks. Ricky is often seen in fights among the street gangsters at night.
Zoes' eyebrows had lifted at this file. It all seemed rather usual. Ricky was your normal girl anyone could find in the streets. But it didn't make sense to Zoe. 'Why would Queen Arlina adopt her when she clearly still has parents? Unless… Did they die? And what aspects did the queen see fit for Ricky to be the heir?'
Zoe's eyes looked over Ricky's profile picture and she sighed. 'Well, maybe it's just something I'll find out soon…'
Her hands moved slowly and zipped her bag shut before slinging it over her shoulder with a huff. Her mind thought back of all the reports and her smile dropped to a frown. Something caught her interest. 'Attacks? In all the files, the one thing in common is that all four of them are in charge of protecting someplace from an attack… Question is; what kind of attack; and by whom?' Zoe slowly closed the final file and returned it into her bag for safekeeping. She glanced around her when she realised she was slightly lost. After a quick look at the provided map, she deduced that the ninja village where Jane subsisted was the closest. So she prepared herself to face off the hothead.
