Bio:
Ayo and Aneka were members of the Dora Milaje the highly trained female warriors of the Black Panther. Aneka was a highly decorated member and combat trainer for the Dora Milaje. She was personally tasked by T'Challa to develop fighting styles to battle robots as the nation of Wakanda prepared for the Doom War. Fighting together Ayo and Aneka fell in love despite there being strong prejudice against their relationship. The two slowly grew disgruntled with the rule of the Black Panther and highly jaded after the fall of the Golden City.
During a raid in a Wakanda village Aneka kills a tribal Chieftain who had been abusing women. Queen Ramonda held trial over Aneka . Ayo explained how the death of the Cheiftan was necessary but Ramonda still found her guilty and sentenced her to death. She was taken away to Fort Hahn to await her sentence.
Ayo was unwilling to allow Aneka to die so she stole two prototype Wakandan armor suits called Midnight Angel suits. She uses one of the suits to free Aneka. While freed both women discuss how they are now dead, known that they will be hunted down for betraying the king and stealing the prototype suits. They decide that they should act as dead women should. This means creating a rebellion to take down the Wakandan monarchy.
A monarchy they longer believe in.
The pair leave with the high tech armors and form a rebellion that initially includes only a few members of the Dora Milaje but continues to grow as disorder in Wakanda mounts. The two are still reluctant to join with the other resistance group known as "The People".
The pair next raid a group of bandits on the northern border of Wakanda where they kill a group of bandits who were kidnapping and raping women. They tell the freed women that everyone deserves better in Wakanda.
