Born in Italy, as half Japanese/half Italian girl, life for Augusta was always hard in school. Facing criticism for the way she was by all her classmates. Never being able to make any friends of her own, she enough cried herself to sleep, until one day her mom came to her and taught her how to sing. Eventually even learned a song form her mother when ever she felt down.

Then one day, the town she was living in came under attack by the Noise, while trying to escape from the destruction, she saw both her parents killed before her eyes as no one came to save them. Enraged and scared at the same time, Augusta hid away until the Noise disappeared. Once she came out, her entire town was gone, everyone she know gone. She swore that she would avenge her family, and destroy ever Noise she found.

After being picked up by rescue team after the attack, she spent day after day training and getting stronger, still accepting the cruel fate that she will never be able to defeat one. One day, while looking online she came across a Zwei Wing concert online and was amazed by what she heard. Augusta look into Zwei Wing more and more, until see eventually came across of picture of one members clad in some sort of armor she has never seen before, wielding what looked like a giant golden spear fighting the beast that took her life away. She need to know more, and continued to look into it, discovering more and more rumor and information the deeper she searched. But nothing seem to be too substantial. Not giving up, she traveled to Japan to figure out more, but when she arrived she heard the shocking of one of the idols deaths. She was instantly distraught, she looked around the city to find a way to entertain herself, before coming across thug stealing form someone. Irritated at the pathetic display, she took down the thug.

She smiled as she had found what she was looking for. Only for her to vanish in an instant, along with Noise's in front of her. After setting up a home in Japan, she wanted that same power that the heroes she saw destroy the Noise had. She tried everything she could, looked for any information about it. After a while she began to lose hope, and gave up on the matter. Until one day she received a package, a package with no return address. As she opened it up, she discover three important things.

 Augusta travels to a location that the letter has left for her. It was a a wore down mansion in the middle of the woods. She then encounter a strange man with white hair, Ōja Senshi. The man welcomed Augusta and expressed great joy in seeing Augusta in front him. Augusta questioned the man and threatened the man. The man simply laughed as more people in suits in black armor with their weapons aimed at Augusta vital organs. Ōja declared Augusta a member of his organization know as the Black Lodge as an important weapon to him in changing the world.

Augusta was then incapacitated soon after the encounter. She later woke up in a deep black cell, Augusta was confused where she was until she remember her previous encounter Ōja Senshi. Augusta yelled out, crying for help. She heard nothing and eventually she fell asleep inside the cell.

Three days later Augusta hears a knocking a door to the cell and voice calling for her. Augusta tried her hardest to get to the door, hobbling around like some kind of bag. The door opened and Augusta was greeted with light and Stephanie Nakajima. Augusta was glad to finally see both, but it was soon turned into dismay as the new girl knocked Augusta to the ground, before insulting her. Augusta was then beaten brutally beaten by Stephanie and was told to never talk about this beating to anyone.

Augusta is then brought too and confronted by Ōja Senshi in the center of his base.  She began to question the man, but only to be meet with guns in her direction.  Ōja explained his organization and it's purpose to the weak girl, only to be meet with look of disgust from Augusta.  Seeing this the man explained Augusta situation to the her and that she had no other choice.  Augusta was put into situation she would never win, with no other choice, she accepts begin Black Lodges newest weapon.

After a few months of harsh training under Black Lodges supervision, Augusta was sent on first mission providing backup for team performing a burglary on museum in Europe. Augusta was locked inside truck on standby, when she heard an alarm go off and a rush of police sirens surround her. She was told that they need Augusta, before the truck made violent turn throwing her around inside of it. Augusta began to hear gunshots as she heard in voice of Senshi coming from the speakers inside the truck telling her that it was finally time for her to be tested, she was then thrown the same red jewel that she received from the letter she got.

Just then she felt the impact of something ramming into the side of the truck knocking it over with Augusta. She heard mans voice screaming in a language she couldn't understand. Augusta heard Senshi once more, telling her to sing, sing if she wants live. Not knowing what to do, and the increasing screaming, she held her Relic tightly and began to sing a song she had never heard before.

A Flash of light enveloped Augusta body, breaking the truck open in the progress. When the light faded Augusta was covered in her armed gear, confused by the her new appearance and what had just happened to her, she heard Senshi voice telling her to fight. At that very moment she felt a barrage of bullets hitting her. She saw the voices that were screaming at her were shooting her. Augusta was scared, but felt a feeling of rage envelop her, and her losing consciousness and as her vision faded to black. When she woke up she was back in her cell, alone without a single voice around her again.

Months later, after more of harsh, grueling training under Black Lodges control she was finally understood what happened to her before. She became fully aware of what happened to her. Augusta finally had the same power as the hero that inspired her from her past. Only now she knew it came with a cost. Having no control of her life, she merely went along with what she was told by her superiors.

After another day of brutal training she was confronted by the man that had her life chained, Ōja Senshi. He gave Augusta her first mission since first discovering her Symphogear in Europe. She was told to go after a group of people that stood in Black Lodge way. Augusta didn't recognize anyone in picture, nor could she refuse at this point.
