A terrible thing happened to Dylan when she was a teenager. Since then all her efforts have been focused on rebuilding her life. She moves to San Francisco hoping to finally get everything in order. She plans to continue her combat sports training, get a degree in management, and, above all, keep well away from menfolk.
