## Early Life

Mikayla Meyers was born in Arrow Station, one of the most poor stations of the ark. She was raised into a relatively good family despite what many people might assume. Neither of her parents approved of any criminal activity but that didn't stop her when she started stealing at the age of 9. Her parents were friends with Jett Fitzpatrick's parents. Jett was raised the same way Mikayla was, however he took a far better path, growing up without crime. He was often designated as her babysitter growing up because her family assumed it would help keep her out of trouble. It didn't. Mikayla had gotten involved with a group of people at a very young age; one of them being Jayce.

Jayce was the one who introduced her to thievery and manipulated her into thinking she was doing the right thing each time she stole. Mikayla looked up to him and how freely he managed to live his life on the ark. The whole ark felt like a prison to Mickie. All she really wanted was to live how she wanted to live, and not be restrained by what the council told her she could and could not do. Jayce did that and promised her that if she did what he did, she'd live the same way. Little did young Mikayla realize, following Jayce around trapped her more than she was before she met him.

When she was 13 years old, she got into an argument with Jett after he talked to her about knowing she was a thief. Mikayla thought he was going to tell the guard and she got scared so she went to Jayce. He said that he had a way to keep Jett quiet but she never imagined what Jayce was thinking. It wasn't until he started talking about how to cover up a murder to look like an accident that Mikayla realized. After that she completely looked at Jayce differently. It was clear to her how manipulative and reckless Jayce could be. She did what she could to cut him off and start avoiding him. Still, he found her and tried to convince her the attempted homicide was no big deal. Mick wasn't buying it. However, it seemed that she was right about her worries about Jett turning her in, because later that week, she was arrested for thievery. Jett claimed that it wasn't him, but Mikayla knew that someone turned her in and she couldn't think of anyone else that knew.

Since then she has decided that there is no one that would protect her the same way that she could protect herself alone.
