## Background

### 1990 - 2005: Tula

Shortly after Queen Atlanna brought baby Garth into their home, her husband Orvax retaliated by having sex with various women of the kingdom. One of the many women ended up pregnant & nine months later, Tula was born but at the expense of her mother's life. Right after being born, Orvax set some connections up for Tula to be adopted by Bazil & Cora. The two of them were of noble background & would have the means to care for a child, plus they were having trouble conceiving.

Tula grew up not knowing her true family, believing her life to be perfect the way it was. Things changed after word spread around the capital & the following cities of King Orvax's death. With both of her biological parents now deceased, Tula was finally told the truth. Though Queen Atlanna was known as a understanding woman to her people. Tula's parents saw nothing to gain to reveal her parentage to the queen. When the queen was killed a few years later & her son Orm took the throne, she stayed away from the capital until a certain Atlantean hybrid came back for the throne.

After Arthur defeated Orm & took back the throne that was rightfully his, peace was back into their kingdom. Seeing him as much more noble than Orm, Tula went to see Arthur & told him of her heritage. After clarification from Orvax's journals & other eyewitnesses, Arthur welcomed Tula into the Atlantean royal family as his sister & gave her the title of Princess. Tula began spending a lot of time at the castle, becoming best friends with Garth. The two of them were practically inseparable, though she would become much closer to Garth in other ways.

Life took a turn for the worst when an earthquake erupted that greatly affected Atlantis. It would affect some people worse than others like Tula, who would lose both her parents in the aftermath. Just like her, Mera's handmaiden Mareena lost her mother in the earthquake. The two of them were both invited to move into the castle, though under different circumstances. Mareena was to be adopted by Arthur & his wife Mera while Tula became Arthur's ward.
