In 4850 ASA, Hui Ying Yorod was born on Deltiopeia, one of the five natural moons of Cassiopeia Prime, the galactic capital of the Cassiopeian Republic. Yorod spent a good portion of her childhood in and out of hospitals because of a poor immune system. She befriended many other patients her age, as well as nurses and doctors who worked at the hospital she stayed at. Her inactivity while in hospital beds would affect her stamina and physical strength even as an adult.

By the time she was an adult, Yorod worked a government job as an administrator of a large office complex dedicated to the allocation of resources. She was effective at making sure everyone was mostly on-task and gained a reputation as a bit of a workaholic. She learned how to efficiently persuade and communicate with both her employers and those employed under her.

By the time she was in her early 40s, Yorod had become extremely accustomed to her office job to the point where her ambition took her elsewhere in life. In hopes of pursuing a new path and new adventure, in 4894 ASA, Yorod volunteered to supervise an expedition to the planet Heilyne as part of a proposed colonization project.
