Thunder is a rebellious African wild dog with a passion for picking fights. She practices and teaches Capoeira at Tailspin, a dance studio owned by her friend Carson.

Thunder spends most of her free time with her best friend Aura, who she met at Tailspin. Together, they travel all around the city looking for trouble. In many cases, Thunder winds up dragging an injured Aura away on her back after taking the others down.

She lives in a small one bed, one bath apartment located underneath a bookstore that she works part-time at. She hates this job, preferring her other at Tailspin, but hopes to be able to save enough money to move into a bigger place where she can start teaching Capoeira full-time.

Thunder is single, and has decided it is probably best to stay that way. She identifies as an asexual demiromantic, and often develops a crush on anyone she gets emotionally close to. As most of her friends are in a relationship, she tends to ignore all romantic feelings, which makes it difficult to recognize when an opportunity actually presents itself.
