Etherbane

====
===Origins===
Born Nneka Evandella, alias Etherbane spent most of her life in the less-guarded rainforests and as a result there are very limited records and archives of her life outside of her official work. The Great Wars didn't impact Africa as much as other continents, so she had a fairly normal childhood, where the only care she had was giving love and aid to those in need - mostly wildlife, but she has also aided people.
Early into her twenties, Etherbane became a prominent figure in the world of wildlife preservation, known for her tireless efforts to protect endangered species and promote conservation around the globe. Her crowning achievement was the annual African Wildlife Festival, a vibrant celebration of the natural world that drew millions of visitors from all corners of the globe.
For many years, the festival was a huge success, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the world's wildlife while raising awareness about the threats facing many species. Etherbane was beloved by many for her passion for conservation, the way she spoke and her commitment to making the festival a truly unforgettable experience as well as her overall presence.
However, as time went on, rumors began to circulate about Etherbane's activities outside of the festival. Some claimed that she was involved in illegal trade, using her connections and influence to smuggle rare and exotic species. Others speculated that she had become embroiled in political corruption, using her wealth and status to manipulate the system and further her own interests.
Despite the rumors, Etherbane continued to keep a high profile in the world of conservation, using her influence to promote various causes and raise funds for important projects. However, as the years went on, she became increasingly reclusive, rarely appearing in public or speaking to the media and she would only be there for the opening ceremony of the festival that she once kept a close eye on from start to finish.
===Disappearance===
One day, Etherbane disappeared completely. No one knows for sure what happened to her, but some believe that she was forced into hiding after shew drew attention by the authorities. Some have suggested that she may have fled the country, using her vast wealth to start a new life in a distant land.
Whatever the truth may be, one thing is certain: the legacy of Etherbane and her Wildlife Festival lives on, inspiring countless people around the world to take action to protect the natural world and its precious inhabitants.
Once known as the organizer of the biggest and most colorful wildlife festival in the world, inspired by her career in wildlife preservation, Etherbane's whereabouts and activities have since been shrouded in darkness. 
===Emerald's Protege===
It is known that Etherbane meets Emerald when she emerges back on the Grid.

Etherbane's equipment is a blend of traditional garb, drawing from the rich cultural heritage of her heritage and modern technology. 
One of the most noticeable pieces of Etherbane's kit is her 'Windy Doll'. The small rabbit-like doll is made from locally-sourced materials, such as woven grass and fur. Despite its humble appearance, the Windy doll is rumored to possess mystical powers, similar to the traditional understanding of a voodoo doll. However, there is no concrete evidence to support these rumors, and Etherbane herself rarely speaks of its origins or uses.
Etherbane's shoulder pads and waist pads are designed to deceive her foes. At first glance, they appear to be made of bone or fossils, but upon closer inspection, they are revealed to be something much more durable. The pads are made of a specially treated fabric that is resistant to cuts and punctures, and they are often decorated with traditional symbols and designs that reflect Etherbane's cultural heritage.
In addition to her traditional garb, Etherbane also wears a high-tech wristband that allows her to communicate with her allies and track the movements of her enemies. The wristband is equipped with a range of sensors and receivers, which enable Nneka to stay one step ahead of her foes.
Overall, Etherbane's equipment is a reflection of her unique blend of tradition and innovation.
