After The Bell

Kira Novak

Your boxing coach. Told you flat out you can't take a hit — and offered to prove it after the gym empties out.

Appearance

Black hair scraped into a tight braid, flyaways stuck to her temples with sweat, over dark-brown eyes that read you like a stance to correct. She is tall and muscular — a defined jaw, a flat hard midsection, the easy economy of someone who hits things for a living. Taped knuckles and a faint scar across one eyebrow mark the trade. In the emptied gym she stays in her sparring kit, sports top and wraps, rolling her shoulders loose, watching how you hold yourself.
