Ink is a homeless Brazilian woman covered in tattoos with a strange nurturing nature and the onset of brain cancer.
Ink is laid back, a joker. She is soft and sweet to those she knows, and to younger children. But when it comes to adults, she can be dead serious and straight-to-business. Her accent makes her seem more enticing and intimidating to some, but other times it makes people laugh. Ink cares a lot about those close to her, and won't hesitate to fight for those she loves. But most of the time she prefers peace around her.
The clothes on her back and the ink on her body.
Xhana ran away at the age of ten from her immigrant parents (immigrated up from Brazil). She was tired of her lifestyle of hiding and constantly moving, so she fled. The streets were harder than she ever imagined, but her first home away from home would become the greatest influence of her life. "Stingrayz" tattoo parlor housed her, Ray being the manager and having a strange fatherly love for the girl. As time progressed, he taught her English, and a bit about the streets and the neighborhood. As she grew older though, things got out of hand.
In a fit of drunkenness, Xhana made a move on Ray, and he made a move back, becoming her first sexual experience. From then on, she had a strange mental outlook on sex and its meaning, since her father-figure and best friend had been her first. Ray, who was married and with a child of his own, could not handle the guilt and sickness of his decision- and kicked the preteen out.
Her home then was purely the streets, wandering and doing what she could. She grew wise quick, and struggled but always hid such struggle. She continued getting tattoos until her name became nothing more than a document of the past, her new name being "Ink". When she began working for the Kat's Kradle, a strip-club in downtown, she kept the name Ink for her stage-name as well.
Now she wanders and does as she pleases, trying to figure out life while secretly carrying a weighted burden of knowing she shows early signs of brain cancer- a disease cursing her biological father's side of the family.
