Crime and corruption are endemic in Paxtown. Between the star system, unregulated capitalism, the mafia holding every possible administration...
Given a second chance, Tomie Katana decides to change things from the inside. Nobody takes her seriously at first, she gets pagged as a pretty figurehead, easily manipulated, but soon she worms her way into politics and pushes her own agenda. She then has to use an iron grip on the city and unleash proportional, unseen until then, repression.
There's a fine line between actually help to better things... and let power corrupt her. She holds on tight, year after year of hard work, until her politics actually yield results and they won't need to repress crime anymore because there'll be so little crimes left to keep repressing.
Things are better, people are happier, and she's alright. For now. She knows it could crumble back to the bad old days in no time. She still needs a few more years to really cement this new way of life and be sure the golden years of her mayorship weren't just a brief aside in-between two chapters of darkness and violence...
