“When everything was taken from her, Loba Andrade learned how to take from everyone else."

"The Apex Games’ newest Legend is used to getting what she wants — no matter how well it’s guarded. She tried to let her past go, but things have a way of catching up…”

It sounds like Loba will be cooking up quite the storm when she arrives with Season 5.
