Prologue

Her name was Envy Shay.

A.K.A. Numbah 1840.

When you looked at her, your eyes went up to the green beret she wore with gems on the front in a flower pattern.

Some people asked, "Are you French?"

She replied with a simple and hasty no.

Your eyes then went down to meet hers, sparkling blue, shielded by glasses. The hair flowing out of the beret was a sleek shiny blonde, and it fell past her shoulders down her back.

Her outfit would at first remind you of Sonya's. She wore the same shirt, pink T-shirt with a white one underneath, only just barely visible.

But the skirt came to a pink-and-purple plaid pattern. A bag that matched the skirt was always at her hip. She wore rainbow skull and crossbones socks, and if she took her shoes off, you could see that they were toe socks.

Said shoes were zebra striped, with rainbow striped laces.

But aside from personal appearance, probably the most noticeable thing about her was the tall golden half-curtain-rod she carried.

It came up to just below her armpits, and it had a gold topper on one end. She used it for everything: a fishing rod, a poking stick, even once a crutch when she sprained her ankle on a mission.

But mostly it was a weapon. She could take out ten adults in one move with it. She called herself a "curtain rod ninja", and because she was one of the best no one ever questioned the name.

But one day, she got the biggest mission of her life.
