There's a small delay, as Rivendare speaks once again. "Okay, look. If you need to blame anyone, blame me. I couldn't get the clearance to tell you guys everything until...Well, about five seconds ago. Literally, Alice just walked in- Thank you, Alice- And handed me the clearance forms."
He clears his throat, and begins to speak again. "Kidritta has a condition, Marshal's Semi-Albinism. It's very, very rare, only effecting maybe sixty people in the world. It's why her skin's got no color, and her ears are pointed. Oh, and why her hair is naturally two colors. In her movies, they used special effects to cover it up." As Rivendare speaks, Kidritta begins to sink again, and those around her get the feeling she'd be turning red, if she could. "Public appearances, they used a double that was spoken for. They covered it up because...Well, she was perfect for her roles."
He cleared his throat again, and continued. "Kidritta- Kid- started as a competitor in the Northern Extreme Games. That was about two years ago, she was eight. Seems a bit weird, that an 8 year old competed in that, huh? Well, they didn't know- She was that Hooded Biker that the sports news went crazy about. They had just finished the first Ninja Surfer Kid movie, and as soon as she stepped off the course, despite the fact that they had no idea who she was, they handed her a contract to appear in the second movie. Remember- She won all the events she participated in and was unknown. The public ate it up.
Anyway, when they finally got the hood off her, they noticed her..Condition, and decided it wouldn't work to have someone with her looks be 'the masked ninja'. So, they used computers to make her a bit more in line with the public's idea of what she should look like. That's why you never, ever knew. The second movie was such a hit, they did the third, fourth, and fifth at the same time, and rolled them all out within a year of one another."
He clears his throat, and continues again. "But that's not the classified information. Like I said, if you're mad at anyone, be mad at me; I didn't kick down my bosses door and insist that I be allowed to hand this over right away. I didn't think it would be a huge problem, but it seems it is, so...Yeah. I'm sorry for that, and I owe you all...I don't know. Steak? Ice cream? A day at the arcade? Whatever. I owe you guys big, so...Let me know how I can make it up to you. I always repay my debts."
There's the sound of paper rustling, and he cuts back in. "The things to know about Kid- She won an extreme sporting event against young adults, 18-30 years of age, when she was 8. She's a trained martial artist, boxer, and brawler and has won two medals in small competitions. Before that, she was a gymnast, scoring unusually high for her age in competition. She's nearly record breakingly agile. She did her own stunts and fight scenes. She's won awards for her role as "Kid-San" in the Ninja Surfer Kid movies, and has been the protagonist of the last four."
He takes a minute to let that all sink in. "She only got one day of training- Granted, it was a constant, non-stop day- She hasn't been to bed yet- Because the kind of things we trained you to do, other than using your weapons and stuff, she'd been doing for the last four years."
