Vixen’s real name is Mari Jiwe McCabe. She grew up in a small village in a fictional nation called Zambesi, in the M’Changa province. Poachers killed her mother, and she was raised by her father, Reverend Richard Jiwe, the village priest. When she was little, her mother would tell her about the legend of the Tantu Totem, which his father possessed.
