CHAPTER 1

BUSAN - SOUTH KOREA

"Hana, get off of that computer, you've been on it for hours." Mrs. Song chastised. The 9 year old Hana Song hissed at her, and continued to play. She loved Starcraft, and played it as much as she possibly could.

"I said, get off!" Her mother shouted. Hana was shaken out of her trance. Although released from its spell, she still pined to return to her screen. "Go take a bath, you've been smelling up that room forever." The angry older woman commanded.

"Yes, mother." Hana replied at last. She made her way upstairs to the bathroom, and drew a bath.

Hana Song was the sole world champion of Starcraft. Although she was only 9, she fought like twenty armies, and never gave up. She was in the middle of practicing for a tournament coming up in a week or two.

She won hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money, and was the main source of income for her family. At first, her single mother and sister found it to be quite luxurious when you never had to work.

Soon, they became extremely annoyed by the little princess's attitude. She acted like she owned the place… But they had no grounds to argue because she DID own the place. One would surmise that she was quite the diva.

As she dried off from her cleansing session, she logged back into her Starcraft account. Online, she was known as what her family called her: 'D. Va'. They meant it as an insult, but, with a couple spelling changes, she crafted a masterful username.

Of course, a good username isn't all one needs to be the legendary Hana Song. She also practiced her craft, Starcraft, day and night. Life was easy for little D. Va, she had few duties besides playing Starcraft, eating Doritos, and chugging Mountain Dew. What could go wrong?
