Background / History

Texas is Giuseppe Texas's daughter and the granddaughter of the former Texas Family head. Giuseppe killed her grandfather; after the family declared its separation from Siracusa, Lady Sicilian began an extermination operation against it. Texas's relationship with Giuseppe is notably distant, resembling an exchange between superior and subordinate rather than father and daughter. 24 31

During the Siracusan assault on the Texas Family, Texas fought Lappland before Han Fei broke into the stronghold to extract her. Though initially wary of Han Fei and his unfamiliar firearms, she trusted him enough to escape with him through a fourth-floor window. 28 30

Texas warned Han Fei that the Texas Family's gold badge would only draw him into Lady Sicilian's reckoning. Even so, she later hired him as her guard and guided him through the estate while the family collapsed around them. 32 33

After helping Han Fei gather valuables and setting the old mansion ablaze with accelerants, Texas escaped Columbia with him. She rejected Zaro's offer of protection through obedience, affirming that Han Fei had never betrayed her trust; following her victory over Lappland, she accepted Han Fei's offer to join the Special Operations Center. 40 41 43

Appearance

Texas is a young Lupo woman with gray-blue wolf ears, a gray wolf tail, and blue-and-gold eyes. Her usual composed expression and black Texas Family uniform give her a sharp, restrained presence. 30 32 38

• Carries twin Wolfhead Longswords nearly as tall as she is. 92
• Originally wore the Texas Family uniform and kept her twin swords at her waist. 45
• Later purchases casual clothing, including a T-shirt, hot pants, and slippers, for life at the Special Operations Center. 94
• Uses the black-and-red Will outfit for operations. 95
• Has also worn a tailored black suit with red-and-black stiletto heels. 140 158

Personality

Texas is quiet, restrained, and direct. She remains composed amid violence and rarely wastes words, but she is not indifferent: she worries about Han Fei's safety, takes hits meant for him, and helps recover supplies when she believes she is no longer needed at the front. 64 110

Her reserved exterior developed alongside a history of family betrayal and danger. She values uncomplicated trust, responds strongly to Han Fei placing confidence in her, and increasingly shows affection through practical actions—finding valuables for him, sharing her “luck,” and making personal efforts to earn his approval. 40 60 111 158

Texas treats others with the same cool detachment regardless of their status and shows no prejudice toward the Infected. She is also considerate in small matters, stopping to help Chastina after the girl falls in the street. 160

Abilities & Skills

Dual-Sword Combat

Texas is an agile close-range fighter who uses her twin longswords with precision and speed.

• Deflected a barrage of crossbow bolts before one struck her side. 64
• Defeated Lappland during the escape from Columbia. 43
• Eliminated roughly twenty Armorless Union assassins while operating alone in Kazimierz. 177
• Favors mobility and fluid swordplay over direct power clashes; sustained head-on exchanges with the Rusty Knight damaged her sword and put her at a disadvantage. 165 167

Reconnaissance and Stealth

Texas uses Lupo senses and disciplined movement to locate threats and move safely through hostile areas.

• Her night vision allows her to identify enemies in conditions too dim for Han Fei. 105
• Her hearing is specifically relied upon to search for information on Armorless Union movements. 174
• Checks corners and doorways at minimal exposure, then signals allies when an area is clear. 125

Firearms Training

Texas is highly proficient with bladed weapons but begins with little experience using automatic firearms.
