Bring on your hell fire, I'll thrive from ash and dust,
stand back and watch me rise.

On 12th hour of the first day of October 2002, exactly thirteen years after she was born, Liena Feng's house was set ablaze.

She was the only survivor.

The cause of the fire remained a mystery and left many baffled on what had caused the Feng home to burst into flames. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who had visited Liena's parents one fateful day in 1989 shortly after her birth, was the only one who knew the truth regarding the mysterious fire.

Reginald—with his keen knowledge pertaining to the special abilities possessed by otherworldly children all over the world—had reason to believe that cause of the fatal fire was none other than Liena herself.

Reginald Hargreeves was ever so generous to gladly offer to take Liena in and raise her alongside the other children he had adopted. From that moment forward, Liena Feng was the newest addition to the Umbrella Academy, being branded as Number Eight.

Having seen the destruction that Liena's abilities could cause, Reginald set out to teach her how to control them. But learning to control the fire that burned within her was not an easy task. What had begun as a means of training, turned into a lifetime of traumatic experiences that Liena would never forget.

When Liena hears the news of Reginald Hargreeves' untimely passing, she returns to place she grew up to attend his funeral.

Upon the return of Number Five who had disappeared seventeen years ago, everything changes with the news that the world was ending.

There was nothing—not even the dreams of a fiery destruction that had not yet happened that had plagued Liena for years—that could prepare her for what would happen.
