Brief History

Opal is the child of a Yakuza heir and Shizu'ko his lover. They couple eloped and she was conceived and born in secret so she would never be a part of her grandfather, Tatsuo's criminal empire. In America she met and dated X-factor member, Bobby Drake. Her past would come back to haunt her as her grandfather learned of her existence and sent his Cybersamurai to capture her. 

There she was to be forced into marriage with one of his warriors so that she could provide him with a suitable heir. She refused, though the surprising kindness and sincerity of Hiro gave both a mutual attraction. In the end Iceman challenges Hiro to an honorable dual with Hiro deliberately losing so that she could return to America. 
 
Her relationship to Iceman would not last and they went their separate ways. She met Hiro again despite nothing becoming of their relationship. She is next seen with a child that we presume is her own, the fathers identity remains secret and she has returned to San Francisco and resumed a relationship with Iceman.
