The warrior who was created: Jeannie

He sheds light on the fact that no warrior is simply born. They are all the results of their own improvements. Thus, they are not created, but they are developed by themselves. He stated,?“Warriors are not born and they are not made. Warriors create themselves through trial and error, pain and suffering, and their ability to conquer their own faults…Cancer SUCKS, But We are Coming Out Swingin?!”
