Life was simple.

Life was happy.

Everything was fine.

All until her loving mother's shady life style among the shadows caught up with the happy, quaint home life she'd form with her loving husband, even their partners who treated young Yue as one of their own. The warmth of home was torn away from the young girl sometime after her quirk awakened. Yue had such a strong sense of pride that to her, she had a fun, cool quirk...one she used to make little stands on the side of the road to sell baked goods and other nonsense she got her mitts on. All she knew is mommy was such a good saleslady, money provided them shelter, food on the table and things that brought them all happiness.

Little did she know that someone was watching her during those times...

...someone who approached her and took advantage of her naivety, telling her they could help her become a great salesgirl to help her mommy's business. Yue knew that her mom worked with plenty of people, some her mother kept far away and others who were friendly...this fellow who claimed to know her mother wasn't anyone she recognized. Yet the tale was so convincing to the young girl, so she went along with the stranger who called himself "Mr. Goodfellow". A gentleman who carried himself with such professionalism, it was easy to believe that he and her mom worked together.

Rather than being taken somewhere for a meeting, she was now among a bunch of other children...some who looked to be in poor health, those who seemed confused, others who were already broken. Turns out "Mr. Goodfellow" had some old, VERY unsettled business with Yue's mother and it was nothing personal to the little girl, but he had a score to settle. With a quirk like her's, she could join the ranks of others he collected one way or another to cut costs on construction and building.

All she wanted to do was go home...but she knew she couldn't fight back.

They were grown-ups, she was just a kid.

All she could do was try to be compliant, nice, polite and kiss their asses to keep them off her back as much as possible. Though she began stepping out of line and getting herself hurt to help a girl who only knew this place as her life, no name...just a number. All of them were numbers, just another cog in Mr. Goodfellow's machine. Despite the set back from standing up for a quirker who could make nails out of her blood, she worked hard to get as close as she could from everyone and learn as much as she could. There was more to her quirk than she could imagine....she'd been a sharp girl, but this experience helped her see her quirk as a resource pack of sorts.

Manifesting bridges and then breaking the planks down to make a wooden umbrella for shade while they worked in the hot sun, for example...she did all she could to be useful. As long as she was useful, as long as she helped everyone else be useful...they'd be safe until they could get out of this hell hole.

It took time, years for Mr.Goodfellow's sins to catch up to him since they were always on the move and never in one place for too long. While Yue was forming a plan, her mother was busting her ass, using every bit of resources she had at her disposal to find her lost daughter.

Hell hath no fury like a mother scorned.

Yue's mother turned out to be one hell of a whirlwind to be dealt with and Yue made sure that her mother wasn't going to be fighting alone. Those she'd befriended and seen as extending family came together and helped as much as they all could, thinking out of the box to bring down Mr. Goodfellow and his cronies. It wasn't easy, folks got hurt and some died...like her friend Nelly, a girl she gave a name to since all she'd known was a number...she'd been in critical condition and as far as Yue knows...they couldn't save her life.

Once the dust settled, it turns out Yue's father stepped out of the picture because of her mother's bullshit catching up to them...but being forced to grow up early, see how cruel the underbelly of this world can be...the young girl didn't hold it against him too much. He had to protect her little half-sister, Crow, after all...he had responsibilities as a father. The two were about a year apart, played together and hung out with one another when things were normal and again when things eventually stabalized. Just because their parents were separated, she was wise enough to know their parents loved them enough not to keep the two apart.

Yue promised herself she would make sure that she'd do all she could to protect her sister if it was within her power, the best way to do that was by getting into the system...become a hero. A hero with lots of money and recognition, become loved and adored by all enough to become damn near untouchable. Between the video games she'd play online with friends to help come up with ideas for merchandise while killing time, she would learn from her mom about the in's and out's of business as much as she could and pack for their final move to Japan.

Apparently, at least one of her online friends lived in the area...even though they could never get the universe to agree in letting them meet since something would always fuddle it up. Either way, she and her mom had a fresh start and she got a second mother who was a pro wrestler and pro hero, so that was pretty cool and Yue's pretty sure that helped get her foot in the door. Finding a rival in the lazy boy, Yohannes, across the street since his family also ran a music business near their own, he didn't really act like a rival...but Yue still saw him as a threat to her family making more money. They formed a sort of truce on this very one sided rivalry and made a deal of sorts. The plan was to have an apartment closer to the university and a dorm room there for late night studies. So the boy across the street became her room mate so it would be cheaper to have a place of their own while also getting their own respective dorm rooms.

Now she could keep an eye on her "rival", scope out the competition and try to climb the ranks while earning some cash with selling crap people think is useful...
