Whether she repressed any prior memories as a defense mechanism after losing her birth parents or had them artificially wiped is unknown, but everything before that point is nothing more than a dark void. Her life as she knew it began with the Turian warlord, who explained that he and his crew had found her inside a small derelict ship, the last survivor, albeit barely. Casca gave Veyle all of the details, he'd always treated her like an adult even when she was far from being one, and she never doubted that he was telling the truth.<br/><br/>He became the only parent that she'd ever known, or at least remembered, and the rest of the crew was her extended family. She was loved, cared for, cherished and never forced to do anything against her will, not even train her gifts as a biotic. That was something that Veyle chose to pursue of her own volition when she was old enough to understand what Casca was trying to do and that it was necessary in order to save the galaxy, to prevent all life from being destroyed. She wanted to help, begged Casca to let her help even, despite understanding that she would be made an outcast and hated for it as he had because the masses simply could not understand the reckoning that was coming and what sacrifices had to be made to prevent it.<br/><br/>And then, as if Veyle was cursed to forever live her life in five year chapters that were intersected by heartbreaking and traumatizing events, the Citadel's assassins swooped in and took everything away, even her freedom. As if that weren't cruel enough, they brought her back to the very place where her father's misguided murder had been plotted, claiming that she'd been brainwashed and that she needed their help, but it was them who wanted to brainwash her.<br/><br/>She knew. She always knew. At first, Veyle rebelled and refused to acknowledge anything that her captors told her, but eventually came to the realization that they were in fact offering her the means to avenge Casca. Slowly, so as not to awaken too much suspicion, the girl became increasingly responsive. After some time, she even agreed to change her last name from Corvinus to Holden, some random name that she'd read in a history book, and her handlers were foolish enough to take it as a sign that their trickery had succeeded.<br/><br/>While Casca had never wanted to abuse Veyle's gifts for his own purposes, he had warned her that others would, and that the Council was especially desperate to get their hands on people like her. She quickly learned that this was true, and also that she could use their obsession with her to her advantage. So willing was everyone to believe that she'd abandoned her legacy and joined them that it made manipulating them far easier than it should have been.<br/><br/>For years Veyle payed the price for her ultimate vengeance, doing as she was told, saying what she was expected to say, suffering through a gauntlet of tests and exercises and shedding countless tears until finally her 'benevolent overseers' deemed her ready. Of course, had Veyle known what a golden opportunity she was going to be presented with at the end of it all, she'd have gladly endured twice as many hardships.<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong>Lash, Stasis, Warp, Biotic Slash<br/><br/><strong>Weaponry:</strong>M-99 Saber, Acolyte Heavy Pistol, Sword (http://i.imgur.com/CN6nkpV.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Bisexual, any race<br/><br/><strong>Preferred Position:</strong>It depends
