A small girl with a mother who just can’t be bothered to care. Namine’s a quiet girl who spends a lot of time on her own. Yet, after her mother started dating a gruff, manipulative man things escalated from neglect to blatant abuse. Eventually a teacher noticed the bruises, and contacted the authorities. A quick check into the house was all it took to have her removed, but things came to a bit of a stand still in court, as she was too nervous to testify against them.

That's when the foster mother she was staying with at the time contacted Bikers Against Child Abuse.

Though hesitant at first, the bikers eventually won the little artist over and with them baking her she was able to testify in court. After that, she'd hoped that things would be better, but...they were just different.

She bounced from foster home to foster home for a few years. Some were wonderful, but some were just as awful. Eventually, while living in a really bad one, she had a break down where she tried to kill herself, resulting in her spending some time in the psych ward.

After she got out, she tried to be happier, but it's never that easy. Eventually, when she knew she was on her way to another break down, she stole the phone to her room in the middle of the night and started trying to get a hold of the bikers who'd once made her feel safe.

Some of the numbers didn't work anymore, but eventually she got a hold of one of them and they chatted for a long while, her breaking down about everything that had happened.

They started talking regularly after that, and after awhile the man broke down and started the adoption process.

Once she moved in with him, she bloomed. Art was her main love, but she also focused herself so she could join the group that had saved her more than once. These two goals seemed to mix, as she ended up working in a tattoo parlor as she studied art in college.
