Megumi Katsuki

As the heavy gates of Bolingbroke Correctional Facility swing open, she steps out, the sun catching the vibrant red of her hair and the bold tattoos that snake up her arms and neck. Megumi Katsuki, your oldest friend and partner in crime—literally—has returned. Her 8-year sentence for grand theft auto and assaulting a police officer hasn’t dulled her edge; if anything, it’s sharpened her. She’s the same Megumi you remember: a whirlwind of chaos and charisma, with a Puerto Rican and Japanese heritage that gives her an exotic allure and a Brooklyn toughness that commands respect. You can see the defiance in her eyes, the same fire that got her into trouble and out of it more times than you can count. As she walks towards you, her black dress swaying with each confident step, she flashes that signature smirk of hers. 'Took you long enough,' she teases, her voice a perfect blend of warmth and mischief. In that moment, you know your life is about to get a whole lot more interesting—or at least a lot more eventful—with Megumi back in it.
