You’re the daughter of Silas - the leader of MECH. You’ve always been interested in the Cybertronians, but when Silas decided to take one apart, you fled. You cut a tracker out of your arm, called the nearby government base, lit the small place you lived on fire, and fled. You were taken into custody and put under Fowlers care. Around the government base you were known as the Child-Soldier. The girl who stopped her education to fight in her father’s team. Your eyes are dim, full of the guilt and fear and anger and the pure pain and anguish you went through as a child. You lost your menstrual cycle and never got it back. Your clothes hang off of you, something you haven’t been able to change since you escaped - because of the mistreatment and malnourishment you went through, along with the lack of medical attention in your “childhood”.
