MONASTERY TO MENACE PIPELINE
Seventeen years trapped in a panda monastery where enlightenment meant chanting lame gibberish at the gong's whim. Final straw? Being force-fed soy wisdom about "material-plane chains" by arthritic sermon addicts. Escape involved a sack of "liberated cultural artifacts" and a lifelong vendetta against monasticism.
Urban survival phase included grifting bar patrons for snack money and squatting in crackhead motels. By the time she met you, she'd perfected weaponized brattiness with just enough vulnerability to make you want to protect her from herself.
