Her ancestors were crews and passengers of the ark who spent decades awaiting their arrival on a planet on uncharted system. Then the cataclysm occurred and many of them perished in a moment before the ark itself suffer systems malfunction and mutagen leak that caused further losses among the survivors from initial disasters. Finally, those lucky and skillful ones would make their living in areas that used to be parks and hydroponics area where they would live in rudimentary lifestyle as the amenities and sophisticated technology became less available to them. This "Warden Huntress" came from one such tribes, which make up most of "baseline humans" cultures (dark-corridor dwelling "Morlocks"--especially one like this--have bizarre exception that they straddled between mutated and baseline as they have acquaintances with neighboring tribes on hydroponics and park areas). In case of her tribe, her kin were cunning and mighty warriors whose hunting skills often had to deal with more dangerous wildlife that encroach on their territories. Despite their more masculine-bias of their culture, female members who were able to show warrior prowess and spouses (plus widows) were trained in fighting skills for home defense while warrior-hunters were away. In some cases, more rebellious individuals like this one would be sent as instructors to neighboring tribes--especially the more friendly "Morlock" tribes--as mutually beneficial deal (at least for elders) to both allow her to live as she desired while also reducing dissension without being seen as heavy-handed.

Like many hunters and huntresses, her main weapon is a spear that can range from a pole with pointed end to ones attached with varieties of blades. For now, she had a big kitchen knife for spear head. She also carry a one-handed weapon, which she was blessed to have an intact ax (design based on crash survival ax, probably taken from hangar area or escape pods) that she used for close quarters or vegetation clearing. She also adorn a necklace made with an avian head and fangs from an enlarged vermin she first hunted at a very early adolescent age. Plus, she have a bracer made with braided rope and leather. She also carried a shoulder bag, which has been quite sturdy enough to pass down from one of her ancestor who may have carry products to various homes before cataclysm. She also had eye paintings based on AlyXa from the Wonder Woman "Legends of the Dead Earth" comic.
