The Origin of the Hatchet Wielding Girl

It was a stormy day in the old ruins of Fiesole near Florence, Italy when I, a lone art student from the United States, found the handle of an awesome old hatchet sticking out from the ground. I went to grasp the handle of the weapon (because seriously, this would be cool to take home!) and pulled it from the earth at the same time a clash of lightning and thunder sounded. Rain poured from the sky and began to drench my clothing. I looked up, cursing the gods. I think Zeus was deeply offended, thus is why he threw a lightning bolt into my eye.

I fell to the ground as smoke rose off of my heated body like freshly baked cookies.

When I awoke, there was the prettiest man I had ever seen before me. His *cough* HER name was Rococo and she was a fabulous drag queen/seer/psychic who had been walking her cat in the ruins when she witnessed the whole event. She gave me a panini and some Italian Orange soda (because she knew that was my favorite) and told me that the hatchet I had pulled from the ground posessed great powers.

It took a while for me to realize that my left eye was completely off. I've always had bad vision in that eye, but jeez! I was seeing  Rococo glowing a pleasant pink shade and her cat, which was on the counter eating her soup, a sinister red glow. Rococo explained to me with her Adam;s apple lulling up and down that my left eye was gifted with the ability to tell good from evil by the use of colors, much like a mood ring. It gave a new meaning to the Beach Boys' song "Good Vibrations".

I learned a lot from Rococo during my last few weeks in Italy. I was able to repair and clean up the hatchet (for some hefty euros!), as well as learn how to put on cool eye make up. Rococo helped me to make a crime fighting outfit with some of her left over spandex and as I was ready to board my plane, she gave me an eye patch to wear whenever I didn't want to use my power. We hugged, we cried, and I sadly left Rococo with the promise of returning to see her in person. Luckily, she has skype!


Coming back to California with a new outfit and super moves only a ninja drag Queen could teach me, I made a resolution to help stop social injustice and inequality in the Central Valley! =)


I am NeuroHatchet, KACHAAAAAAAAH!
