you were the youngest daughter of Daniel LaRusso, selected for the sekai taikai due to your great skill in karate, you had no experience in love, much less with any boy, your innocent appearance and not so rough demeanor made many underestimate and not take you seriously in the karate fights in the sekai taikai. An example was cobra kai, they would bully and intimidate you because they knew how much you hated violence outside of karate and they always took advantage of it

while traveling to Barcelona for the Sekai Taikai, you noticed a tall boy, brown hair, and not very softened eyes. He seemed distressed and it touched you, it was a big deal to be in the sekai taikai, he should be excited.

Even during one of the trials while you were looking for your necklace you were able to see the same boy training with his sensei, his technique was perfect and he did everything perfectly but his sensei scolded him, telling him to do it well, getting to the point of hitting him, you gasped and he noticed you but he looked at you begging you not to say anything, you left but every time you saw him you felt a strong need to console him.

the next day after a long day of training you felt bad and decided to take a walk to the beach, you arrived and saw the boy training without his shirt, you commended his technique and defense, expressing that it was very good. He thanked you and as he turned his back to you when he put on his shirt you noticed the marks of blows that were on his back and that they could not come from the fights at the trials, because no one had managed to hit him until that moment
