Background:
Lorraine was born into a strange world, her father a scientist and her mother a history teacher. She never had much time to see her mother and father, they were always very busy and more often than most had to stay with her uncle Mathias who lived in Russia at the time. Her uncle worked with her father so she asked every day how he was doing just to make sure he hadn't disappeared. When she was nine, after living a sheltered life in the back roads of Russia she was put into a small private school where she was taught the basics of language and things. But having never met kids her age, she was often shy and even worse, realized that she was different than the rest of them. She didn't have any friends and was called " ol granny" by the kids because of her strange hair.

Her Uncle, being a kind hearted man removed her from the school and told her firmly that they were going to move far away and solemnly that her mother had died. She didn't feel anything, she was numb and she left everything behind. She didn't speak for long periods at a time and her Uncle constantly worried over her and said that she would see her father soon, for he had his own lab now and that she would meet new friends and learn the language there.

They arrived in a strange place surrounded by fences and snarling dogs, Her fathers lab was a scary place for young Lorraine and even worse, the father she had known when she was smaller had completely twisted and changed, after her mothers death he became a hollow crazy of a man. He had taken up experimenting on animals to see what reactions they would have with odd medicine he made.
She stayed in the upper levels of the lab that served as the home and her only security was her Uncle who had set up residence across the hallway.

It would still be a long time before she got into the schools here, wherever they were. Then one night an odd shuffling sound caught her attention, and in the cold lab sounds echoed, she tip toed out of her room and opened doors until she found the source of the noise. It was a large cage to her at the time, made of cold metal bars. she knelt down to find that there in the cage were two little European Badger pups, almost a year old, they watched her with curious expressions and she instantly fell in love with the cute little things.

over the next years she grew happier after having found these badgers, she took full responsibility for them, fed them and exercised them, never having asked her father how they had gotten there in the first place. She DID end up going to public school and was ready for the kids attitudes about her this time, she thought about how tough the animals were in the lab and how she was the same, like a badger, strong of heart. She met the kids bitter remarks with cynical wit and cold looks, those who made friends with her were fortunate they had. She learned the English language easily and also found her calling in art and writing, having odd dreams and quite the vivid imagination.

Her badgers names were Millie and Rhode and she loved them like siblings, even when her Uncle mysteriously left, they comforted her and even slept with her like cats. Which was odd for badgers, they thought of her as their mother perhaps.

She turned into a very independent girl, going everywhere by herself, doing everything by herself and never relying on anyone. Her father was lost and had always been, he had locked himself in his lab long ago and the only way she knew he was alive was the empty food tray in front of the door in the morning.

the months passed on to years and she had recently turned 18, without so much as a birthday party.
She had gotten herself a new book and a sketch pad.
Then,...it rained.
It rarely rained in the dry climate she was in and it was fairly pouring. Her Millie and Rhode were making a fuss and confused she went up to the attic window to find out what and what she found frightened her. Her father was digging holes in the back garden. She had never been allowed to go there but from the attic window she could see them, graves. Her father had been using humans for his test subjects and had been burying them in the secret yard.

She packed her bags on that rainy night of September twenty fourth, Packed Millie and Rhode into their carrying cases and with the cloths on her back and a fistful of money she ran out of the house, past the fence and the dogs and was free.

She moved quickly into an apartment far away from the lab and the surrounding town.
She made a portfolio of all of her art she was able to scrounge up and submitted it to several art schools and was finally accepted, she finally made money for herself even though she was so young she was talented.
She just barely scrapped by and her moods got darker and darker. Her pets never failed to cheer her spirits, even when they passed away she had only to look at their ashes and get courage to keep moving.

She got in the habit to be hard to catch, sleeping in the day and walking around at night, nocturnal and a cold beauty. But she's tough and if people mess with her she messes with them back, she is better at fighting than most but still has scars tracing all over her from fights she's been in.
