Orchid (Killer Instinct) (Modern)

==Summary==
Orchid is a playable character in Killer Instinct (2013). Since she was a child, the person who will become known as Orchid knew that she wasn't like all the other kids. This became more clear the day she accidentaly set her school on fire, blaming an entity she called the Firecat for what had happened. His father, a soldier in the US special forces, was the only one aware of the truth. Orchid's grandmother had volunteered as a test subject for a secret military study during World War II: Project Aries 9; this granted her the ability to summon a flaming beast, and such power was passed down onto Orchid through their DNA.
Orchid was then brought to the mountains where her father trained her in combat, firearms and how to control the Firecat. 
After returning to the civilization, her father was killed during a mission in Afghanistan, and this caused the young Orchid to fall into depression. Growing up as a troublemaker, she eventually joined the Special Warfare Department, following her father's steps as a military, to avenge his death, apparently caused by a drone of the megacorporation Ultratech. After a decade spent completing missions and learning of a long-lost brother called Jago, she stepped too far while investigating Ultratech. Her entire division was murdered in a bombig, and Orchid herself was framed as the prime culprit, and forced to flee the country until she reached the Carpathian Mountains.
Some time later she started the Disavowed, an international spy ring whose goal is to bring down Ultratech using sabotage, infiltration, industrial espionage and guerrilla warfare tactics. Her group grew quickly, and overtime it included the likes of Eagle, Maya, TJ Combo and Jago. Among the activies performed while in this group, there are Orchid's participation in the Killer Instinct tournament meant to uncover the mystery behind Eagle's death, where she was almost killed by Jago, and the destruction of a Stalker hatchery carried on alongside TJ Combo.
She and her companions will end up joining the hated ARIA as members of the Alliance, a group of warriors held together by the need of stopping Gargos, a warlord from another dimension who plans to conquer Earth and enslave mankind.
