Although her family initially emigrated from the Philippines to California during the 1930’s, Malaya’s grandfather soon settled down in Miami, Florida, with his family. Today, there is a small community of Filipinos in the Miami, some 20,000 and more in Jacksonville and Tampa.<br/><br/>Although Malaya has never touched her family’s homeland soil, Malaya has incorporated both her Filipino and American heritage into her life. She likes fast food, loud music, and fighting. When it comes fighting, Malaya sticks more closely to her roots. Taught by family members, Malaya has learned Escrima, the traditional weapons-orientated fighting style of the Philippines. The balisong, or butterfly knife, is her preferred weapon, because it reminds her of her ancestors’ dexterity, strength, and grace. To Malaya, the knife is an extension of herself; it is a part of her. The knife fits perfectly in her hand and she wants to use it.<br/><br/>During her late teens, Malaya got involved in underground fighting. Making a small name for herself after several victories, Malaya soon caught the attention of various gang and mafia members. She preferred to be on her own, and she did not join any groups. However, she became a contractor of sorts. She does the jobs she wants for the price she desires most: money and prescription drug cocktails.  Although Malaya claims to be as sharp as her knife, Malaya’s wounds run deep and sometimes she just wants to forget for a few hours and slip away on a chemical cloud of euphoria.
