[sblock=Description]Azami Delmonico, daughter of Tsitsi (Italian American) and Keiko (Japanese) Delmonico, is easily identifiable by looks and raiment; she prefers designer clothing done in exuberant color and pattern. When she can get them, which isn’t always. Even in rags, she’s a walking wet dream: slim and tall, with tone. Her Ruger Super Warhawk is comically 'toon-sized, but hits like a f-ing tank.[/sblock]
[sblock=Background]Azami Delmonico, aka Devon Aoki aka Thistle. Dauther of Tsitsi and Keiko Delmonico. Tsitsi, deceased, served as an Associate specializing in burglary for La Cosa Nostra. The circumstances surrounding Tsitsi’s death remain a mystery. Azami tells friends that Tsitsi died of prostate cancer, but that’s a lie. More likely Tsitsi loudmouthed to the cops and a Capo popped him. Keiko, still living, was Tsitsi’s third wife. Keiko retired to Fort Myers Beach and rarely sees Azami, her only child.
Azami is a professional bike courier for Elite Courier Services, and—to feed her haute couture habit— moonlights as a pattern cutter for Yohji Yamamoto. An on-the-job bike injury resulted in a cyberlimb last year. Azami is good friends with Reyn Kaimana, an Assistant Buyer with Bergdorf-Goodman. Reyn and Azami go way back; they dated in high school but that ended after Azami discovered Reyn blowing someone at prom. Reyn moved to New York a few years ago to attend the Parsons School of Design, and stayed for work when Bergdorf’s picked him up for an internship. Azami keeps Reyn around because he’s a comfort but also because he sends her showroom samples.
Azami met Kristina Koos and Mikey D on the club circuit. Kristina’s only a casual acquaintance, but she sometimes has useful information about potential contacts. For a price, of course. Mikey D keeps Azami stocked with happy pills. When money’s short, she sometimes couriers for him on a quid pro quo basis. The pro quo isn't always pleasant.
Frank Amato, now there’s a man. He’s Azami’s fixer. He’s also her sometime lover. Frank—formerly a Jersey mafia Capo—turned informant after getting busted for wire fraud. The Feds released Frankie with immunity but didn’t offer protection, so Frank did the reasonable thing and relocated. Permanently. To Fukuoka. Keiko’s hometown. That’s right. Frankie just may have been the type to ball both mother and daughter. Frank’s the reason Thistle exists; he taught Azami her bread and butter skillset: firearms proficiency and demolitions. The stealth and charisma, well, those just came natural.[/sblock]
[sblock=Team Connections]
Positive: Thistle likes fireworks, and Queenie's got 'em in spades. They cut an unholy swathe of destruction when working together during close combat. The mess? That's someone else's problem.
Negative: Thistle propositioned Salvetierra about six months ago. Her affection wasn't returned, and Sal bluntly told her no. The pair haven't discussed what happened and the tension's mounting. Thistle doesn't like being told no, either. Especially not where sex is concerned; it's an ego thing.[/sblock][/section]
