## Backstory

After the Omnic crisis, Italy struggled with rebuilding their country, a young Bambi Coraline was the daughter of the famous scientist Lee Coraline who dedicated his research to rebuilding the enviroment. Bambi was his apprentice and with her help they were able to repair the damaged enviroment in Italy. However their achievements weren't unnoticed and they recieved attention from the millitary who wanted to weaponise Lee's research but Lee strongly refused despite the offered profits.

Inspired by her fathers benevolence, Bambi dedicated her research into making a garden known as "Eden" that was able to supply fresh fruit and vegetables to consumers. One night though while she and her father were tending to Eden, Talon soldiers broke into Eden in order to steal her research for their plan. What they didn't know was that Eden had a level of sentience and was able to defeat the soldiers.
