biography
Early Life
Cynthia Riviera’s past is uncertain even to herself. She prefers it that way. In one version, she was born into a poor but loving family, later destroyed by smugglers who sought their land. In another, she is the hidden, illegitimate daughter of a powerful landowner, raised in secrecy until family betrayal forced her into the streets. There is even a darker tale, where she was cast into a river as a baby and rescued by inquisitors who shaped her destiny around vengeance.
None of these stories can be proven, and perhaps all of them are true in fragments. What remains certain is the woman she became: a vigilante who protects the most vulnerable from inequality and crime, operating beyond the reach of conventional justice.
a divine help
Known as Runaway, Cynthia defends the poor and marginalized, receiving in return offerings like money, food, clothes, or jewelry from those she helps. Her actions have made her a target of the Colombian government, which views her as a destabilizing force an instigator of unrest among the oppressed.
Her elusive nature is enhanced by her illusion-based powers, making it nearly impossible to track or capture her. She can distort perception, vanish into reflections, and even pass through solid barriers, leaving authorities chasing shadows rather than a person.
Her growing legend and unique abilities eventually drew the attention of LordTech, who offered her advanced equipment, training, and a place among a greater cause. While she accepted, seeing it as a financial opportunity, Cynthia never lost sight of her true purpose.
For Runaway, no alliance, power, or wealth will ever outweigh what truly defines her: the relentless pursuit of justice for those the world has abandoned.
