Aydyn is an agent with the Agency.
That is how she and her fellow operatives, as well as her handler, Edward, refers to the government department for which they work although it is not the CIA which also has that term used for it. What the official name of this part of the American Intelligence community is actually named, if it truly has a name and not just some line item number on some other large department's discretionary budget, well, that remains unknown to me.
Ayden is also a model. As she puts it, "I get to travel the world, see the sights, wear fancy dresses and get shot at on a regular basis. Those privileges are granted to me by working two strangely similar jobs, one being as an internationally renowned supermodel and the other as a thankfully lesser known spy for the American government."
Edward, being a good planner, either finds work that needs to be done wherever her next modeling job pulls her, or, as often happens, finds a modeling job to justify her presence when she needs to be sent somewhere on Agency business.
Her "originally given name" is Arysha Aratemeru. She is "half Black, half Japanese, and half American". If the math does not add up, she explains, "I know that adds up to one hundred and fifty percent, but my mother tells me that that is why I grew to near six feet by the time I was fourteen." Speaking of 14, Aydyn explains that is how old she was when she had her growth sprint, got noticed winning a beauty contest and given the job of being the "new face of Skin Deep" and decided she was really gender fluid in which she enjoyed being a woman but also at times having a "male mood".
It is in her introduction of herself to us that she tells us the "First Rule of Being a Spy" which is: "always expect a gunfight to break out, especially when you least expect it". And she should know because in that meeting where she was both on a modeling gig and a spying one, a fancy soiree turns deadly when would-be kidnappers find she is not a very compliant victim.
