Shortly after Anne was discharged from the marines due to her heart condition, she began seeing Dr. Alessia Troisi to help her through her therapy and to design a workout program that would be safe, given her peculiar limitations. Anne admitted to Alessia that she was depressed because she'd worked all her life in order to become a hero, and now that goal seemed out of reach. To her surprise, Alessia admitted to being the heroine known as Tyche and actually encouraged her to overcome the limitations of her body.
The two have been fast friends ever since. Anne will never be able to match Alessia's raw physical prowess, but she thinks, reacts, and strategizes better than any three other people Alessia knows, and, as a result, they regularly spar in order to force both of them to improve.

With regret, I have to announce that the planned Lady Quantum and Tyche series has been cancelled due to unforseen complications. The Aura Lockhaven and Nakia Olba series is still in the works.
