No-step-back! is the name the crowd of the coliseum gives to the heroine of Slave Pits, a slave whose real name is not known.[1]
In Slave Pits (2503)
She is a peasant woman from a village in the north of the Star Worshippers Empire, raised among the True Worshippers. When the Empire attacks the northern villages, hers is destroyed and her kin is killed; she is taken as a slave. The village's teacher was the Old Warrior, and his lessons are all she has left, with one goal: vengeance.[2]
but she was strong
She was not the fastest
but she was fast
She was not free
but she never stepped back
Her story is told in the game's story mode.
Her death and legacy
In the coliseum of Polis she defeats the Prince, and dies there. The new Emperor hangs her body as a lesson, and the north erupts. Under the warcry of her name the imperial army is defeated, and the Empire falls: this event is known as the Star Worshippers' Contrition, in 2504 on the timeline.[3]
No one remembers how she looked
But everyone remembers what she did...
