Mistral, also known as the Cold Wind of France, was a cyborg ninja and a member of the Winds of Destruction, alongside Monsoon and Sundowner. Her codename was based off the dry northern winds that blow from the Alps to the Mediterranean. Callous and jaded due to being a victim of circumstance, the death of her parents in the Algerian Civil War, and her growing up as a extremely proficient killer, Mistral spent her early years killing dozens while still young in her service of the French Foreign Legion. Mistral envied her enemies for having a reason to fight, unlike her who only knew killing and could take no real enjoyment from it, until Senator Armstrong gave her an ideal to fight for as part of Desperado Enforcement LLC.
