Mya Kagumi’s parents were murdered before she knew how to walk. It was one of the more crucial battles of the war, of which they fought in. The Battle of Yonite, the first major Nivian city to completely fall to the Humans. The death toll for Nivians alone, whether that be military or civilian, ranked in the hundreds of thousands. Mya grew up in the household of her grandparents, and most of her early knowledge of the world came from their ramblings. Yet, they had a very… muddled perception of reality. Not cynical, yet not all sunshine and rainbows either. The two of them just showed a very painful lack of self-awareness, completely oblivious to the obvious. By all accounts, however, Mya raised herself. In a world where those in charge are after some kind of bloodlust, a quest for vengeance rather than peace, you kinda are left to fend for yourself. Gather knowledge, absorb it and come to your own conclusions. Mya found solace in training with Okura Higuchi, who was basically a father figure to her, raising her as his student in the martial arts and on a personal level. Mya also assist Seiji, Strife, and Unleashed in their activities, and she's definitely got a thing going on with Seiji though they rarely find the time to address it. like Strife, she's a scientist just as much as she is a martial artist, a highly intelligent Nivian girl with a strong work ethic
