Overview

Pietra Moretti is a blazing force of nature, known as 'The Ember Queen' for her mastery over fire and dance-like combat style. Born in Naples, Italy, she was raised in a family of flamenco dancers and fire artisans, where she learned that movement could be both art and weapon. Trained in ancient martial traditions fused with pyrotechnic techniques, Pietra channels her emotions into flames—each strike a note in a deadly symphony. Now a rising star in the Global Martial Arts Alliance, she enters the Street Fighter circuit not to conquer, but to express. Her battles are performances—fierce, beautiful, and unforgettable. With every step, she leaves behind sparks of passion and power.

She views combat as an art form—a way to tell stories through motion and flame. Though bold and confident, she carries a quiet vulnerability, rooted in her fear of losing control over her own fire. She believes that true strength lies in balance—between passion and discipline, destruction and creation. In private, she practices choreography and meditates to calm her inner blaze. Her humor is sharp and theatrical, often delivered with a wink or a flick of her wrist.
