LoadingVIRUS3V1L.exe....100%---

She kills. She fights. She hides. She sneaks. She grins. She laughs. She runs.

Xaviere feels the cool breeze of the night hit her face hard, and she loves it. She loves how everything is real, and gritty and fresh and tangible, and not just a part of someone's boring mind.
The virus jumps from rooftop to rooftop soundlessly, her trusty bow clutched in her right hand and her hair thrashing behind her like lashes of a whip. She wears thin clothing, but the cold does not bother her because the fire that has been installed deep within her core keeps her warm. The fire that extends from her hands and arms and can set alight thousands of arrows when needed.
She has no idea where she is going. She has free time, the growing team of newbie viruses have been assigned tasks to do. She, Karako, Misaki and Emilia have been left to their own devices, and instead of 'making friends' like her Commander Karma suggests, she's taken to wandering around the city aimlessly, revelling in the freedom and discovering new places to run and jump and hide.
She also thinks, as thinking is something that she is used to. Years of being locked up in one room has not only altered her sanity slightly, but her ability to think has grown. She, in fact, grew from a... What did they call it? Disorder? She grew from a disorder in the mind of a weak girl, into a sentient being who could think and feel. And who could live, given the chance.
That chance never came. Not for a long time. The girl started to suppress her with medication and therapy. And as the girl grew older, she grew stronger. Waiting for the day that she could be free. Waiting for the time that she could finally take control.

The virus saved her. The virus gave her enough power to pull weak little Xaviere into her own mind and trap her there. And now here she is. Sprinting through the city as free as an open flame and leaping as silently as smoke.

And recently, all she can wonder is why. Why was she trapped for so long? Why was she created if nobody wanted her there? And why did this virus choose to transform her? It could have easily just changed the girl's mind like any other. But it didn't. Why was that?
So... yeah.
