Trish
Background
Trish, known as "Trish the Tomboy" in her youth, possessed natural athleticism and excelled in various sports. However, it was the art of fencing and the principles of bushido that truly ignited her passion. She aspired to compete in the Olympics, and her undefeated record in fencing spoke to her exceptional skill. During this time, she entered into a relationship with Michael, a medical student who wholeheartedly supported her ambitions while avoiding the drama that often followed him.
However, their relationship took a tumultuous turn when Michael succumbed to the pressures of his student loans and became entangled in drug addiction. He resorted to stealing medicines to sell in order to make ends meet, but it was Trish's unwavering support and unyielding discipline that helped him break free from his destructive path. Trish put her own competitive dreams on hold to aid Michael in his recovery.
After Michael's rehabilitation, the couple decided to start anew in his hometown of Southern California. They sought a quiet life away from the chaos of their past. However, fate had other plans when Michael and Fei burst into their home one rainy night, frantically warning of a monster attack. Gob and his wife, echoing the same urgency, revealed the creatures to be a wild Chupacabra. While the others frantically barricaded the home, Trish reached for the katana, resting within its sheathe upon the fireplace.
As Trish stood over the lifeless body of the decapitated Chupacabra, her hand trembling, she realized that it wasn't fear causing her shaking. It was the surge of adrenaline and the rediscovery of her true calling. In that moment, she understood that her purpose extended beyond competition and personal victories.
With her sword still stained with the creature's blood, Trish embraced her newfound mission. The rush of adrenaline coursed through her veins, reigniting her warrior spirit that had been dormant for so long. For the first time in many years she had remembered her calling. It was not to competition or victory. It was the call to battle. And as it called, she would answer.
Tactics
Trish is a potent front line fighter that can hold her own against the toughest of opponents. Counter-strike and Deflection can provide Trish additional protection and Iron Will can keep these Interrupts replenished every time Trish damages an enemy. She excels at one on one battle where she can continuously counter her opponent. Clean Cut gives guaranteed damage of 4 but this is not increased by damage Buffs and cannot Critically Hit or be combined with Double Attack. Debuffs on an enemy can increase the damage inflicted by Clean Cut. Double Attack allows Trish to deal a high amount of damage and she can attack with different Melee weapons for each of these attacks. See Weapon Classes for more details. Trish cannot use Double Attack in the same turn she uses a Move Action but Interrupts such as the Dash Interrupt from the Athletics Proficiency do not count as her Move action. This also includes allies who can move her position such as with Michael’s Whip Maneuver or Walter’s Pull.
