# BACKGROUND

She started off as a poor maid in a manor, working as a servant before marrying the owner. her parents never supported her strong beliefs that clashed with their traditional views. they said she was shooting too high. the marriage did not go well and after a legal separation her husband was found dead in his lab. a mutated bee poison was used to end him. she inherited his wealth and became a rising star in the biology field. She was a success that didn't fail to gain attention, especially with her unique perspective in the study of pterygota insects. There are however plenty rumors about her appearance, for she rarely appears in public places. Her passion lies in the search for peculiar insects, spending her time roaming in dense forests, swamps, and wilderness, rather than attending those pretentious symposiums. during the few times that she did make a public appearance, she always hide her face. Some say she's too ugly to show herself while others say she's so beautiful that she didn't want people to focus on her beauty instead of her research.

"Birds have beautiful wings,"
"but they are hunters of insects."
"Beautiful creatures are"
"always busy killing each other."
