#strekka

Strekka had a fairly boring childhood. Cycling through foster homes as a ward of the Progeny Protective System, she eventually settled on her own in college, and a few years later flunked out of Statics. Not one to give up on a happy life just because of some lousy grades, she took up gunsmithing with a former classmate- Now partner, in both the romantic and business sense. Eventually they got married, and shortly had a progeny together. In an workspace accident, their progeny was fatally wounded by a malfunctioning firearm, and the grief tore the relationship apart, Strekka’s husband taking everything, and leaving her behind.

Not one to give up on a happy life just because of an ex-husband and a dead child, Strekka became an Order of Whispers agent for the foreseeable future, immersing herself fully in her work and missions, dedicating herself similarly when the Order merged into the Pact, becoming a full-time sniper. Her squad was one of the lucky ones to make it through Orr without losing anyone to the Risen. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t be afforded the same luck in Maguuma, most of them perishing when their airship was struck by vines, crashing. Strekka survived, but was nearly mortally wounded, losing both her arms, and gaining extensive scarring on her body.
