Personal history

She, like her child, has been turned in to a cyborg. However her more out of necessity than the rest. She lost both of her arms through a major incident around the time she met Alaric. The actions of him helping her and providing her with cybernetic limbs led her to believe that he was a kind, benevolent man. This belief is what lead her to fall in love and marry him. They had several children over the years, and at first she was blinded by her love and initial idea of the man she married that she didn't believe there was anything wrong with how he treated them. She even fell deeply in to these lies as he saved their daughter of certain death, gave her a cybernetic heart. The first known success in the world. She only believed that a benevolent man would want to save and care for a weakened child that would certainly die or live a very poor life. But then he giving them dangerous, life threatening missions. Missions with questionable integrity. She began to open her eyes to his true self, and quickly grew to abhor his treatment of their children. Two years after the birth of her youngest two she provided them each proper names to call themselves especially in public. Two years later she left them. She wanted to take all 8 children with her but they were all too brainwashed by their father to believe her and refused to go. All except one, Eta. All of her children resent her for leaving, not quite understanding what exactly it is that their father is putting them through or the consequences of the actions they are made to do.
