### ***Solace: Dark Horse***

At the age of 21, Cartier was involved in an explosion at the Solace City Power Plant. Eight days later Cartier woke up without knowing how much time had passed or what exactly had happened to her. After escaping the quarantined radioactive site she wandered around until she came across Sasha's Apartment Complex. Feeling exhausted she broke into the seemingly abandoned building to get some rest.

Unbeknownst to Cartier, Angela Kujo's Soul Drive, Dynastysia Jade, was able to feel Cartier's Presence. In fact, Dynastysia Jade could see her through the floors. The Soul Drive then informs Angela of Cartier's presence. Cartier who had overheard parts of the conversation due to her soul drive, Folie Florasion, decided to hide somewhere on the first floor. Sasha, who had also overheard, told Angela to remain with Jack while she investigated. Due to the 6th rule of Soul Drives, Sasha nearly discovered Cartier hiding out on the first floor but was distracted by the fight that had erupted between Angela and Jack, forcing Sasha to stop just a few mere moments before finding Cartier.
