Felicity's eyes were glued to the screen as she watched her favorite anime. Her eyes only left to glance down at the deck of trading cards cradled in her hands, staring into the demonic-looking Egyptian face of the card which read, "Exodia The Forbidden One". At a time long before she was born, this may have been regarded as one of the most coveted cards known to Duel Monsters, but she was thirteen now, and this card and all others bearing its name we're deemed virtually worthless by the public. At least in gameplay. Well no, she thought, in media too. It had been many years since even the mighty Egyptian God cards could be called mighty. Times changed, but that didn't stop Felicity. She had been captivated by Exodia from day one when she first watched the anime protagonist, Yugi Muto - or rather the Pharaoh - suddenly wipe the floor with Seto Kaiba's ego. In spite of all the criticism she got from her peers, she was determined to find the perfect dueling formula for Exodia, and so she spent the last several years collecting all the different Forbidden One cards she could find, in the hopes of finally being accepted into Anima's dueling academy so she could get out of this desert hole. But she was quickly beginning to wake from that dream. Once she turned fourteen, she would officially be too old to apply for the academy.
