**Bio:**

Ydhee was born on the 7th of Feppo in 11.985 DD in a large colony of nomadic marines which moved from the lands of Krull-kri to the country of Duman as traffickers and gypsies.

In the nucleus where she grows there is no family distinction, so it is as if she had no parents and her brothers were the other marines in the camp. Her surname Erin-hé is simply the name of the group.

Being Ydhee's species smaller in size than the other sharks, she suffers abuse and violence daily both by the brothers and by the adults of the camp, seeing the ones like her inferior.

Devoid of any reference or support she, like the other smaller marines (among which there is however nothing but competition) is used by the "family" for drug dealing, for alms, shoplifting and every time she returns to the camp with less money than required is punished and beaten by the "parent" of the day.

For her the most humiliating thing is asking for alms as she is physically weaker than the others, but it's necessary to be able to eat.

In that competitive and ruthless environment the only person with whom she can make friends, isolated as she is, is another black tip shark named Zaduhz who, due to a disease that makes him weak and fragile, is almost always forced on the cot and isolated from the whole camp.

When she can, Ydhee brings him all the food she is able to scrape together, even dividing her ration with him and helping him as she can, alone in a world without mercy.

With the arrival of winter his condition worsened further, becoming ill with pneumonia: to get him the necessary medicines she needed money and Ydhee made the decision to conceal herself with the other girls in the camp who prostituted themselves in the nearby city. Ydhee is 8 years old at the time.

The only customer she manages to find pay her very well, so that she can afford to buy medicine and food at the camp, however on the way back she is intercepted by one of his older brothers, a bull shark named Opph, who the beats her to steal all the money from the day. Ydhee does not give up without a fight, biting him so hard to hurt him and losing a tooth due to his fist.

When she regains her senses Opph has disappeared with her money, then returns to the camp where she receives no punishment but neither help, falling asleep on her bed deprived of energy, wounded in body and soul.

When she wakes up she looks for Zaduhz but discovers that the closet where his cot was is empty and while she slept he died.

Ydhee, left alone with a sense of guilt, being dirty and humiliation, takes refuge in the only positive feeling she can remember: she returns to the place where she clashed with Opph and digging in the snow finds the tooth lost in the fight, symbol of the strength she had managed to find in that moment. From that moment on she would become stronger, the strongest of all, thus embracing the violent culture of the marines and her family.

Back at the camp she stops begging and dedicates herself to thefts and robberies or to any violent crime, training in the meantime and developing a stronger musculature than her similar breeds.

It is rarely seen at the Opph camp while she is preparing for her revenge.

At 10, Ydhee manages to enter one of the camp's gangs that deal with organized crimes, peddling and robberies.

Unfortunately for her the glory does not last long: as soon as she entered the gang she discovers that the head of this is none other than Zaduhz himself, who had never really died:

as a smaller marine and weaker than the others he had always pretended to be seriously ill to manipulate the more fragiles and sufferings with pity to be able to exploit them. So he had managed to accumulate enough wealth to become the leader of the gang; Ydhee was the only one so useless to be able to get him only food instead of money.

Since the gang specializes in robbery and theft and consists only of males, Zaduhz decides that the role of the new recruit will be, in spite of her strength and value demonstrated, that of the prostitute, to extend their influence on new sectors and being Ydhee now entered into age allowed according to marine gypsy standards to regularly sell her body with others.

At the same time, Ydhee discovers that Opph, who has not been around for some time, works as a direct subordinate of Zaduhz within the gang and that from that moment on he would be Ydhee's superior (he even advises Zaduhz of use she as a prostitute).

Ydhee's soul finally breaks into pieces, losing all reason for life and realizing that she is living in a gigantic lie, a scam in which any weakness or strength are manipulative tools of which she was only a toy.

She refuses to prostitute herself and for this she is first threatened and then beaten by the gang, but she does not care: she will never give up her body to anyone again, the proud little girl even if destroyed will never give up anything again.

Failing to convince her by force, Opph strikes her with a knife in revenge, leaving her face with a scar that will remain with her for life so that no one could want her anymore and leaves her in a room to die.

She no longer cares about anything, stops eating or doing anything else but waiting for the end.

A few weeks later the marine camp in the Duman is stormed by the NCM militias with orders to arrest all the criminals and clear the camp: in front of the armed forces the chaos is unleashed with the gypsies who flee in every direction to escape arrest or insertion in orphanages for minors.

In the NCM platoon there is a hawk named Shakrov who, in addition to his official work, works directly under Torn Weidderg, a political mediator who was one of the promoters of the closure of the marine camps in the south of Giondia.

Shakrov finds Ydhee in a room, undernourished and dehydrated, with the wound on the muzzle still swollen, the strong adult muscles returned those of a child, she instead of running away as others have done simply stares him in the eyes, indifferent to fear, holding a small tooth in her hand.

Shakrov, impressed by the view, contacts Torn and picks up the little shark girl from the camp personally, dividing her from her family and her life forever.

Ydhee finds herself in a private hospital clinic where she is medical treated and fed under Torn's watchful eye who, once she has recovered, introduces himself and explains to her that he wants to adopt her, making her live at his home under his protective wing .

The kindness towards her and the elegance of that affect the girl who accepts, without asking any question, the offer of the politician.

Resolved some bureaucratic issues, during which time Ydhee remains a guest of the clinic, she moved to Torn's apartment in the city of Viridia, in the state of Pantakas, thus officially becoming Torn Weidderg's adopted daughter and assuming his surname. There she has a quiet place to live and prepare for entering school.

Torn is always sweet and kind to her but is almost always absent because of his job and due the fact that he has other adopted boys and girls around the world, so she spends most of the time alone, with the only company of private teachers or home cleaners and food preparation staff.

After a few months, she enter Viridia's Comprehensive School, a state school that brings together children and young people from various social backgrounds to get them used to common life and prepare them for work; Ydhee is now 11 years old.

Growing up in a hostile and ferocious environment, she is unable to integrate herselft into the new environment composed mainly of serene and spoiled children, she does not understand the restrictive rules of behavior and turns into a bully, which attacks and takes advantage of the weakest (and not only them).

In particular, she dislikes two students from another class who are younger than her: a boy named Neist (goat) and a cockatoo girl named Sylvia, both of good family and solitary compared to the others.

Ydhee constantly bullies them and uses every opportunity to get her hands on them.

Meanwhile, Torn returns more and more rarely at home and Ydhee starts to learn to live alone, refusing the entrance to anyone and using the delivered meals to secretly develop the pleasure of cooking and reworking food, waiting for the day in which she will be able to prepare the lunch for Torn, towards which she develops an ever deeper attachment.

One day, in one of the many scuffles with Neist and Sylvia, these together succeed for the first time in hurting the shark girl enough to be able to drive her away, leaving all three of them battered with bruises. Ydhee shortly after meets a gang of bullies, all older than 15 years, and instead of giving up the step defies them openly with arrogance, without any fear, which leads the group to take up the challenge and attack she all together.

Neist and Sylvia, who had accidentally witnessed the scene unnoticed, cannot remain indifferent to that bully which, despite everything, had never been helped by anyone and had always fought alone. Sylvia drags Neist into the fray and the two sides with Ydhee, despite the still fresh bruises.

The fight ends with the three defeated and beaten up, but also the group of thugs brings back a couple of wounded, no longer able to continue, reason for which they abandon the fight without further raging.

Once the others have disappeared, Ydhee recoveres from the fight and is incredibly amazed by the gesture of his two victims, she picks up from the ground a broken tooth during the scuffle and shows it to the two with pride, explaining that for marine ancestors is a symbol of pride, proof of an important fight.

For the first time in her life Ydhee opens with someone, finding in the two youngs a courage and generosity worthy of her uncompromising esteem. Ydhee is 12 when she meets her first friends.

They will be the first to taste her cooking skills and her attitude changes towards them, showing her sweet and clumsy side, not used to this new situation.

She also has the opportunity to be a guest several times at Neist's house, showing her shyer side towards the family of him and developing a more intimate friendship with him, although she is always in love with Torn with whom she spends sporadic but intense moments during which they eat together what she cooked or go at luna park or at some event, with Torn making her feel like a princess all the times.

Sylvia takes on the role of Ydhee's older sister, while still maintaining her easygoing and carefree behavior.

For the first time Ydhee tries what a normal life is and with her new friends she begins to become a bit bourgeois, however she dresses and always remains a thug whose criminal past manifests itself if the situation requires.

During the following years she became passionate about history, delving further into the origins and pride of her people: she approached for the first time her real culture so much to join the Esh-mah class, a martial art specialized for fighting both on land and under water, used by aquatic raiders during the 91st century wars.

When she reached the age of 16 she get a tattoo of the Tebusu pipe on her left arm (very trendy among the marines), a symbol of the attainment of peace between the land peoples and the sea peoples, which would have been able to walk freely on all territories of the first.

At that time she was approached by a group of Viridia marines who, noticing her abilities, invited her to join their group of criminals: she joined them, feeling the call of her old world.

Sylvia had long shared with the other two her curiosity and fascination with her father's military career and often dragged them into her outdoor activities, taking them where her father, Colonel Otakar carried her as a child, even managing to get permits to visit the Nova Pride barracks (the autonomous defense body of the state of Pantakas) for all the three.

It's 12.002 dd and the day of their visit is remembered as the Judas Incident.

On that same day the 636 Squad led by the rat-smilodon hybrid Zack is sent on a mission and a seventeen-year-old Ydhee has the opportunity to exchange a couple of words with him before his departure. Zack taunts her and warns her of that life, but at the same time is clearly inciting her with his words of pride, duty and responsibility.

On that same day Sylvia takes Ydhee with her, detaching herself from the more calm and diligent Neist, sneaking into the base, stumbling into a hangar with the first prototypes of HAL Suits combat exoskeletons, able to allow levitation in flight thanks to a core made of Arkenite's mineral.

Thinking back to the meeting with Zack and the guerrilla war in Duxel (caused by the Judas incident) Ydhee feels a great shame for herself and for what she is doing with her life, deciding to interrupt all attendance with the group of criminals, not wanting to have more to do with that world.

After the events of those days, Zack became a wanted terrorist for having apparently murdered a NCM politician of Viridia and the Nova Pride program underwent major changes, wanting a more civilized and less military approach to the country's security operation, so that from now on for the activation of the lethal forces of a team is always necessary that all the three members of it agree, otherwise the functions of their armamentary are strongly limited.

Furthermore, a computerized system is inserted which acts as an entry test for anyone wishing to join the Nova Pride, known as the Airing Test, in which the candidate is carried by a machine (also called an Airing Machine) in a state of hypnosis where the unconscious and subconscious signals are recorded to then be processed by a system of Artificial Intelligences so as to establish whether the subject is within the parameters in order to be morally fit for the role.

The new Nova Pride teams will have to be civilians whose ethics and morality are innate, capable of helping and defending people in need, not destroying or taking advantage of the weak.

Although Ydhee is a year older than Neist and Sylvia they attend the same school year and graduate together when she is 19 years old. After the trauma of being a prostitute at age 8, Ydhee never let men touch her again, feeling she only wanted Torn and developed a strong jealousy towards him and envy of his other children and especially his adopted daughters.

At 19 Sylvia convinces Neist to take the Airing test and Neist reassures Ydhee: she has always suffered because of her past and being followed by psychologists as a problematic girl has not changed that, since she is always on the edge between her new life of bourgeois with her friends and her most violent and criminal side.

The test will be held for them on the 7th of the month of Feppo, the day of the twentieth birthday of Ydhee: she renounces to participate to spend the day with Torn returning from a long period of absence, always due to work, but unfortunately that day she finds that he will not be able to return in time for her birthday.

In the discouragement and clash of emotions of anger and despair she takes the decision not to stay at home that day to wait for a so impossible and inconsistent love, that she must follow her own path which is the same that brings to her friends, even if the test should go bad and find herself incompatible with them.

She leaves home and reaches Neist and Sylvia who welcome her with joy at the Nova Pride barracks and the three enthusiastically face the test.

The following days Ydhee is very anxious waiting for the test response, until the day when it arrives and it is for Neist and Sylvia positive ... and incredibly for her too.

Without having time to celebrate the test response, Torn returns home to her, surprising her as he already knows of her participation and of response to the test: Torn reveals to Ydhee that he has put pressure, thanks to his political power, on the results to be positive in any case. On the one hand, this makes her immensely happy and makes her feel loved, making her to forgive Torn's absence (motivated by his commitment to help her follow her path), but on the other hand, this develpes her insecurities and the feeling of guilt.

The three friends thus become part of the Nova Pride: they follow the classes and trainings and at the same time continue to study at the university (Ydhee chooses the path of tourism and gastronomy); they are inserted in the same team, the 636, the same one that once was composed of Zack, Lynn and Gillian (whose tracks have long been lost, although most wanted all over the world).

Inside the Nova Pride the three youngs develop friendships and rivalries: while outside the base they preserve their bourgeois life, when they are on a mission they wear the role of heroes, wearing the HAL Suits (now become standard armamentary).

It is the evening of 12 Fotolalte 12.008 dd: the trio is having fun in a club of Viridia when the music stops to let space to the breaking news of a terrible nuclear explosion in the near city of Duxel ...

**Distinguishing traits:** Tebusu pipe tattoo on the left arm, horizontal wound on the muzzle, rings and bracelets studded on the caudal fin, pendant on the neck with two teeth lost by her in combat.
