(Avoiding Spoilers)
Living… life as “Tokyo,” an alias she is using for a planned robbery of the Royal Mint of Spain in Madrid.
Profession… thief. Tokyo has just committed her fifteenth robbery with her boyfriend who unfortunately didn’t survive. Her mom then took part in a sting operation to try and get Tokyo arrested. But a man who goes by the name of The Professor alerted her and saved her from a life in jail. But now that she has joined The Professor and seven other thieves for robbing the Mint, she will need to be careful to ensure she keeps out of jail.
Interests… money and fun. She wants the money from the heist to live a carefree life with only her calling the shots. The money earned from the heist would allow her to live whatever life she wants to live.
Relationship Status… attracted to Rio, another thief. Romantic entanglements are technically not allowed during the heist, but Tokyo is the kind of girl who likes to break the rules. After all, she says that love is a good reason for everything to fall apart.
Challenge… dealing with her regret. In thinking through her past including the loss of her lover, she admits: “We all make our own snowballs out of our bad decisions. Balls that become massive, like the Indiana Jones boulder, chasing you down-hill only to crush you in the end.”
Personality… hot-headed, impulsive, and rash. Tokyo is extremely quick on her feet and confident in her actions, oftentimes taking lead of the group. She is fearless and uses whatever assets she must in order to survive, but her impulsivity can get her into trouble.
