The woman who would later become known as **The One-Armed Demon: Montreal** wasn't always the stoic and calculating woman that the world knows today. **Mia West** was born in Sussex, England to Harold West, Prince of Wales and Grace West, Duchess of Wales. Mia was often more reserved and quiet than her royal peers which led to much speculation of her personal life as she aged. When she entered high school, Mia began to truly contemplate joining the British Royal Navy but was talked out of it by one of her father's friends, Elliot Charles who secretly worked for the spy organization Overture. Once Mia graduated, Elliot took her under his wing and exposed Overture to her which resulted in a near-obsession for Mia who wanted nothing more than to join Overture.

She would eventually be granted acceptance into Overture where she studied - privately - for a masters in mechanical engineering and worked closely with Overture's R&D department. However, during her first field mission, Mia would sacrifice her left arm and eye to disarm a bomb that was intended to blow up The Louvre. She was assigned to a desk in order to recuperate but instead, Mia would create Overture's Cybernetics department. This would lead to Mia grafting cybernetic enhancements to herself in order to simulate superhuman abilities to prove to Overture's Dark Cabal that she was fit for service. Her gamble paid off and she was allowed to return to the field but was assigned to Squadron 09 with **Adam McFarlane** and Calvin Watson, lead by Hatamoto Tanaka.

This group would disband later after Calvin was believed to have died during a terrorist mission in Siberia but what came out of this was Adam and Mia's blossoming relationship. The two would eventually get married and Mia became pregnant, taking time away from Overture to prepare for childbirth. Soon, **Lexi** was born then Adam and Mia decided that they were going to become part-time for Overture, taking missions when they could. However, Mia began to take more a backseat to field missions and instead doing more gadget work. The family would move to Las Vegas - momentarily - for a mission but it was here that Mia and Adam got into their first argument over Adam wanting to adopt **Damien Cates** where as Mia only saw him as a thug. Eventually, she would lose this argument and Damien would be adopted but she made it expressly clear that she will never see him as a member of her family. This would have unforeseen consequences with her relationship with Lexi. Much later, Mia would find herself creating McFarlane Industries' R&D subdivision.

## **Attributes**

### **Powers**

**Cybernetic Enhancement/Adaptive Bionic Arm**: After losing her arm and eye during a bomb defusal mission, Mia began to develop cybernetic parts for practical uses to stop Overture from benching agents because of injuries they lost in the field. However, she didn't have the backing from Overture to move it to testing trials so Mia experimented on herself to prove that her technology works. This was successful and it granted her abilities - by extension of the arm - and she found that the technology was adaptive due to the fact that it was connected to her mind. It is because of these cybernetic enhancements that make Mia the perfect fit for Adam. Where Adam is more swift and graceful with his movements, Mia is the heavy who deals out massive damage and grab attention.

* **Superhuman Strength**: Mia's strength in her left arm is sufficient enough to be able to life upwards of fifteen tons with minimal effort. Her arm allows her to throw cars with some ease, Her strength is so intensive that Mia has been able to throw punches with enough force to cause the earth to shake and generate gusts of wind. With this strength, it is hard not to see why they call her The One-Armed Demon.
* **Electrical Discharge**: The arm is able to release an extensive power output that ranges from a simple shock to the system to stopping someone's heart. However, the easiest way to combat this is with insulation but this ability does not only work on people but objects too. She has been show to use this to jump-start cars, electrify water, and even set electrical traps by disconnecting the arm and setting it to "watcher" which will activate whenever the arm detects that someone is near. It has also been used to resuscitate people such as her husband.
* **Adaptive Reaction Sensors**: An actual bug within the arm is that since it is connected to to muscle tissue, nerves, and more, the arm became reactive to Mia's thoughts. She is able to do things that normal arms should not be able to do because of this ability like detect the weight and balance of objects to throw it with pin-point accuracy like when she threw a knife to catch a piece of chicken that was falling. Because of the arms already enhanced sensors, it allows for Mia to know her surroundings, down to the smallest detail such as when she was able to detect that Lexi was in her office while Mia was in the elevator. If a bee leaves her environment, the arm alerts Mia of this. Another interesting ability is that Mia can project holograms of her thoughts and memories from her arm, allowing her to relay information without lose of context.
* **Cybernetic Defense**: As the arm is connected to her body, the amount of hacking required to take control of it is insurmountable. It is nearly impossible to hack it or use cyber-ware against it but this isn't the only defense capabilities it has. The arm is incredibly durable and is impervious to gunfire of small caliber and bladed weapons.

### **Abilities**

* **Master Combatant**: Mia is an incredibly powerful combatant having been trained by her mentor, Elliot Charles and later, Hatamotoa Tanaka. Mia - before her incident - was a graceful and light fighter who attacked pressure points and specialized in disabling enemies instead of doing damage. She would later be forced to change her fighting style on account of her new arm and this would be where Mia began to shine. Her style changed from graceful and accurate to wild and devastating. Whereas before, she relied on Muay Thai but now she focuses more on Boxing as her arm grants her a higher degree of strength. However, she has admitted that Adam is the better fighter out of the two which bleeds into the next topic.
* **Genius Engineer**: Mia is a wildly intelligent individual who primarily uses it for mechanical engineering on topics such as advanced robotics and cybernetics. Her designs for the Adaptive Bionic Arm were so influential that it spawned an entire department based on advanced cybernetic enhancements for Overture agents. The arm itself is an extremely complicated piece of machinery and is only rivaled by other creations. Even Damien - who is literally called *The Cyberpunk Supreme* - couldn't hack into the arm without being forced to connect to Dynamics mainframe. This isn't because of any coding that Mia did on her end, but because the arm is connected to her mind. Regardless, Mia is an extremely skillful engineer as she crafts gadgets for herself and Adam with household items.

## **Trivia**

* While Mia never abused Damien, she did take every opportunity to try to ruin his life such as:
	+ Mia allowed Lexi to apply to any college she wanted to but Mia forced Damien to only go to Lauder University. This was because Damien wanted to go to UNLV but Mia wanted to keep him in the city to monitor him.
	+ Damien originally had an internship offer for web-design with Defy Media but Mia used her connections to kill the deal by revealing his sealed criminal records to Defy Media. However, Adam would correct this by calling in a favor with Dynamics Communications.
	+ Damien was actually Valedictorian at Brooklyn Unlimited but Mia changed his GPA by 3 points which allowed for Alexis to gain it. However, Alexis gave Damien her Valedictorian Stole during graduation and he walked across stage with it on.
	+ During high school and later college, Mia allowed Lexi to access their families money but refused Damien access. However, Lexi just gave him money on the low.
	+ When Damien moved out when he entered Lauder University, Mia fabricated evidence that Damien had a history of withholding rent which stopped him from getting an apartment. By this point however, Damien had met Matthew and he took care of it.
	+ More recently, Mia refused to go to Brooklyn Fest 2022 because Lexi planned to bring Damien on stage. She even went as far as try to shut down Brooklyn Fest by lobbying it with her city hall contacts but this was thwarted by Matthew. Adam did go though.
