Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

This page made me sad. Poor Lapha.

If you're wondering how she went from flame thing hovering in a circular thing to guttersnipe, well, eventually someone went to check on her parents and found her. She was given a children's starter body (Aetholiths don't mentally start as infants, but it depends on how their parents' initialize their starting configuration.) And then she was put in "the system," with which she had mixed experiences, like a lot of kids. From there it's the usual story, in and out of homes, time spent scrounging on her own, eventually tracked down by a relative of one of the parents who ultimately resented Lapha for the death of said parent, tries to get grabby with teenage her in some twisted "no free lunches" lesson, she fends him off with a pipe-wrench, winds up on the run with a record, blah blah blah, gets a job on a spaceship, travels the galaxy, learns all about smuggling contraband and altering inventory records, gets away with minor larceny 4 times out of 5, on the run again, falls in as the chef and assistant quartermaster for some mercenaries, etc.
