Backstory:
Even in troubled times, in a violent and unforgiving world where most individuals would be crushed under the weight of the rich and the corporate, and even in a transhumanist society where the augmented run rampant there is always room for the naturally talented people to shine and reach unparalleled levels of success.
Léa's story did not begin in such a society. The girl was born in Guadeloupe, an archipelago situated in the Caribbeans directly North of Venezuela. Of course, as a citizen of the Utopian Nation of Valencia, she knew nothing but the tranquility of the sea, and the peace of her daily life on one of the few remaining islands of the Caribbean Sea. Unfortunately, the high tides had not been considerate of small patches of land surrounded by water, and her family lived on one of the lucky survivors. Despite the remoteness of her island to the main continent, its people still shared its infamously strict immigration policies although they were slightly more open minded to the rare foreigners present there, on vacation or otherwise.
As for her family, Léa's mother was from Europa while her father was Guadeloupean himself. Having cut herself off from her noble and immensely wealthy lineage for the sake of love, Léa's mother had extended her stay on the island after visiting on vacation and meeting Léa's father, which led to the two of them getting married. Very different from her corporate mother, her father was an ex-athlete turned trainer after an arm injury. He initially did not have the means to buy a replacement but although they did after their marriage, her father still refused and rejected augmentations out of pride, an extremely rare view among the infirm in such an era, but less uncommon in athletes.
Of course, that meant that the shortsighted Léa would not receive permanent treatment, her father being extremely against it. The very idea that his daughter might get rejection was unbearable to the disabled man. Instead, the little girl grew up wearing eyeglasses and later on during her teens, a visor. Despite living a comfortable childhood, Léa spent little time with her mother, a notorious workaholic in their small community. Instead, her father, incapable of working for long periods of time took care of her. Her parents quickly noticed that their daughter had neither a taste nor a single shred of competence for academics. In other words, although it pained them to admit so, she was rather stupid.
Fortunately, she was also very energetic, although that made her difficult to control at times. She did not bother with things she did not understand, preferring to do what she liked instead, which was usually running and climbing around. Naturally, to the glee of her father, she easily showed a lot of promise when it came to athletics. Simply put, she was good at everything physical, and it only took a few years of her life for her to progress enough so that by the time she became a teenager, she had won several competitions in a lot of sports, including some of the more violent ones.
It took some time for her father to initiate her to boxing, the sports that ended his career as a professional athlete, as he was apprehensive of the damage it could cause her not only to her limbs, but potentially her skull. This is exactly when the Atlantic Boxing Federation recognized the usage of protective augmentations, especially Cranial Insulation as necessary to limit long-term damage for athletes. As a result, when Léa turned to boxing and immediately fell in love with it, he reluctantly made an exception despite his views on body modifications to allow his daughter to practice the discipline he feared the most in a safer way. Fortunately, no sign of rejection sickness had been examined for now.
As for the teenager, she thrived when it came to boxing. Although her physical prowess was already fairly impressive in itself, her skill for the sport was one of an actual prodigy. Despite her really bad eyesight, she performed astoundingly well even when her lenses got knocked off, and generally considered one of the fastest boxers of her era. Her natural talent was so great that after putting some titles under her belt, companies were desperately trying to sell her treatment for her shortsightedness for sponsorship. Even if actual peripheral augmentations and sight enhancements were illegal under the Atlantic Boxing Federation, prescriptive TechEyE along with some necessary upgrades were, as long as they were checked before any match. Under her father's pressure and adamant denial, she had to refuse the offers however.
A few years after winning the Atlantic championship belt as the youngest since the Federation's creation, she eventually did something really stupid - even moreso than usual. Her relationship with her father grew more and more tense, and the more success she had the sterner he became as her official coach and manager. At one point, to rebel against him and in a crazed, adrenaline-induced desire for physical growth she made the extremely impulsive decision to modify her body further and install cybernetic muscle fibers. Doing so was considered very dangerous in an unaugmented sports federation where this kind of blow could prove fatal, and despite her miraculously successful attempts in hiding her cybernetics using bribes, the truth was eventually revealed after a particularly brutal Knock-Out in the middle of a second round.
The news went crazy about it, and she was of course banned from ever performing again. Additionally, her family was heavily fined for the damage and this had caused great turmoil between her and her parents. The fact that she had been very successful without it is what drove her father to grow enraged, his pride hurt enough to kick her out of the house, despite her mother's wishes. It all went downhill from here, and she was forced to pay her rent by participating in underground fighting rings, which grew extremely scarce and mostly unsuccessful in Valencia. Alike a lot of underground fighters, she had no choice but to rely on very unscrupulous people to make ends meet, usually rebellious foreigners drove to a life of crime because of the very slim amount of opportunities of employment for the non-native.
Since there was no organized crime in Valencia, she was forced to travel around the world accompanied by various unsavory managers, which usually led to her getting deeper in trouble. Her past as a national champion certainly helped when it came to finding work, but it also meant she eventually drew attention from bigger, badder parties. Of course, due to her flighty nature, she decided that she would never take a fall. Eventually however, it was a necessity to do so and her life was on the line. At the time, she was still in Central America, and one of the Cartels was behind it - unfortunately not one that had turned legal. As such, she took the decision to flee, and succeeded in getting out of the Cartel's claws... for now.
This required her to take flight to the most unlikely destination: the Japanese Federation. More specifically, she traveled to Metropolis-1, the one and only place someone with the means and knowledge to avoid should. The Cartel knew about the real nature of this city of course, which is why they did not expect her to flee there. This was actually a humongous stroke of luck: Léa had simply decided to go there because she had learned Japanese through her travelling, and had genuinely believed in the propaganda on all the flashy electronic billboards. Ironically, her lack of wisdom and recklessness had led her specifically to escape in the safest way, but to the worst possible place she could end up reaching. If the website's informations about the city being full of opportunities were true however, this was a splendid new start for the augmented athlete.
It was with a deluded view of Metropolis-1 and an oblivious mind that she arrived in town...
