Origin: Violet

Back to Violet

There was a time, when the organisation known as GARDEN relied on recruited mutants. They understood the need for like-minded individuals who wished to discover more about themselves, contribute to scientific research, and provide what they can to advance Sidero such that its power may reach beyond the planet. And they believed that the way to reach their goal was to unlock the secrets hidden within the genes of these anomalies.

These scientists made astonishing discoveries, and they trained those with special powers and abilities to protect the people of the planet. There was a time when people looked up to them, a time when what people call superheroes maintained law and order. But then with each generation, those working in GARDEN seemed to change. The scientists hungered for power, and many sought to be something more than human. Their experiments became more and more horrendous, their minds twisted until there was nothing left but cruelty and ruthlessness. Those who did not agree to their means mysteriously disappeared. And slowly, GARDEN became a menace. And it was only because of Omnicorp and Anima Inc keeping them in check that they haven’t taken over the entire planet and moved on to Laetus. None of the three companies were innocent, yes, but none were as cruel and power-hungry as GARDEN.

It was during this horrendous transition that Aleandra joined GARDEN. She looked up to GARDEN ever since she was young. She grew up with the presence of super powered protectors of humanity. And imagine how ecstatic she was to be included in its ranks, as she became Azalea—the newest agent of GARDEN.

Azalea was always different. Her magenta coloured skin and multiple eyes had earned her various looks when she grew up. She was quick, nimble, and extremely observant. But perhaps her greatest difference, and the reason of her downfall, was her ability to be empathetic.

Empaths and telepaths are hard to come by, but Azalea had the ability to discern a person’s emotions and even alter them. She was a prized asset of GARDEN, but the scientists knew to keep the companies’ worst secrets from her. It didn’t work for long, and so the scientists turned to brainwashing. And despite their efforts of torture, mind altering and subconscious inception, Azalea refused to commit to deeds of atrocity. And it was mostly because of her gift of empathy, that allowed her to understand and feel the pain of others, that she could never be cruel and ruthless like the scientists.

And a few months later, the scientists gave up, and she was sent to the experimental department. GARDEN had recently captured an indigo monstrosity of alien origin, and they decided to put Azalea in the same room. She barely survived the encounter, but she did, as the alien only wanted to mate.

After a few months, with some help from the scientists, Violet was born. But during her birth, her venomous cells were activated, and caused her mother’s death. She almost died from her own poison as well, but the scientists were quick to react and saved her. They never came up with a permanent solution though, and since she was born, she was always linked to some machine, to dilute her poison and keep her alive. When she was six, they managed to design a suit for her, such that she will be able to begin her training as one of the most feared assassins of her time.
