## Biography

#### Happy Family?

Myra Swing is the middle child of three daughters, raised by a conservative-leaning father and a liberal-leaning mother. Growing up, Myra would hear her parents argue about certain topics, and would often take her father's side of opinion.

#### High School Days and Sudden Suicide

Myra had a fairly normal high school life. She attended a school dance, only for her younger sister to have her room for a sleepover. She had an interest in learning about conspiracy theories because of Alex Jones. Myra would support Murato's stance against Florence's moderate extremism towards government control over everything. She tried to help Murato save himself from risking his life to prove his points against Florence. When she heard of her friend's passing, she took her life in protest for Florence's arrogance.

#### Cyborg with a New Name

Years after her death, she was remodeled into a cyborg courtesy of Nexus Labs. She was given retractable armblades, much to her surprise. After she was officially branded as a 3rd-generation cyborg, she changed her name to Haylie, as a way to represent a new chance at life.

#### New Friends and Surviving Zeeko

She became a member of Vic's Gang of Misfits, as they all shared a mutual dislike towards Zeeko. She treated her new friends as family, notably treating Gavin and Dom as her brothers. She was eventually surprised by her encounter of Tr!dok3n when she was brainwashed unknowingly to kill him. Whenever she met Tr!dok3n, she would feel nervous around him, possibly holding a crush on him. She understands that she and the shuriken-bearing cyborg have the same goal as any other like-minded rebel.

During Sladerik's conflict with Modos, Haylie would open up about her frustrations to Tr!dok3n, including how her mother was dating another woman, as she was a closeted lesbian. In response, Tr!dok3n would assure her that she can't fight it, and that she should focus on what she wants in her own life. Haylie confessed she wants to be with him. They ultimately share a kiss, confessing their love for each other.

Haylie wanted to opt out of Vic's gang, and the latter believes she is too valuable to be replaced. She made a decision to hide her personal problems from Chameleon neo-human, because of how he reacts towards such issues. Despite differences in beliefs, she maintains her role as a member of Vic's gang. After a two-against-one fight with B.M. (Haylie with Tr!dok3n), Haylie learns of the Wolf neo-human's true intention as a member of Murre's leftist gang. They become friends, especially learning of the Wolf neo-human's crush.

## Other Events

#### *Trial of Harmony and Elimination*

During this secret event, Haylie was somehow taken from her presence in the Obedient New Earth, along with Tr!dok3n. They were really summoned by two foreign entities: Jei-Em Han (also known as Great Misfit) and his robot father I-Nami (also known as Inner Me). Along with Kamen Riders Cog and Cogori from **Alutrio**, and Master Water and Flutter Bang of **Earth-ET**, the O.N.E. cyborgs were given a mission to hunt down the intruding aliens who came to build a new army of barbarians, led by a bat-themed alien named Fangroner. in Earth-ET, Haylie was paired with Flutter Bang to hunt Corrupt Hot under the group name, **Team Yellow**. Haylie, Tr!dok3n, and other duos join Great Misfit as they battled Fangroner and his spawn of pavement monsters.

After the mission, Haylie learned the Obedient New Earth coexists with other mysterious planets in one separate universe. Along with the Alutrian Kamen Riders and the beverage-themed heroes, Haylie went along with Tr!dok3n to visit the Lone Author, a native in Morale-418.

*"Even after high school, you're still reckless. We didn't even get to graduate...Please be safe. I want you in one piece."* - Haylie before she parted ways with Tr!dok3n for his mission

Haylie and Tr!dok3n visited the Lone Author, where they had learned of the confirmed coexistence with other neighbor planets. When Tr!dok3n offered to help the troubled Sol Guarder, she was hesitant to separate from her partner. After some reassurance, she returned to the Obedient New Earth.
