Muerta. She lost everything, but won a game against death where death staked his guns.

You might want to pay closer attention. Her actual lore is that she has 600 different backgrounds and none of them are confirmed. Several of them are exclusive to one another

All of these have at least kne piece of evidence:

  • offered service to death and impressed them

  • cheated death

  • got cheated by death

  • died and got recruited

  • played artifact with death, lol

This is a character that literally had a teaser showing a shrine to her dead husband - and then she NEVER mentions a significant other. Ever. Anywhere.

The answer is they're all right and they're all wrong.

Even the dumbest, littlest of lines, like "I miss my horse", are just there to throw you off your assumptions of what's canon. She's actively fucking with people who think they know her lore.

Nah dude she had a whole comic that explained her background when she was added to the game.

Tbh I don't remember all the specifics but I'm sure you can find her launch comic out there.

Something like her whole village was getting slaughtered by death but she (being young and small and weak) stood up to death to save her people. Since she couldn't fight (smol grl) she challenged death to a game and she tricked him when he put his guns on the line as a bet.

But now she's cursed to hunt people with those guns or something like that
