From birth till death, Awazeki Okanah has lead a majority of her life bounded by unwavering streams of misfortune. One of these unfortunate occurrences was her untimely delivery, which consequently resulted in maternal death. Given that her biological mother was a rape victim, Awazeki was born without a home and forced into foster care. Luckily, she was adopted by two young, loving couples whom unfaltering display of affection proved more than enough to render Awazeki's biological curiosity obsolete. Unbeknownst to her parents, she suffered from streaks of minor hallucinations growing up. Although miniscule, the unpredictable nature of these delusions were enough to instill fear in those around her – namely during school. This lead her to develop extreme social anxiety; favoring isolation as opposed to intimacy. Despite this, she remained affectionate toward her parents, concluding that they were all she needed.
At the age of 13 however, Awazeki's father was diagnosed with an unknown virus said to cause minor mood fluctuations. A week later on her 14th birthday, Awazeki awoke to the sight of an unruly affair between her parents which would soon escalate into the single, most awful tragedy beknown to her existence: In a fit of rage, Awazeki's father viciously seized her mother by the neck with both hands firmly pinning her against a wall; depriving her of oxygen. Sensing her father's malicious intent, Awazeki instinctively wraps her arm around his waist, pulling and tugging with every ounce of strength in a desperate plea to save her dear mother. Efforts were short-lived as her father releases his hold only to hurl his right fist into Awazeki's stomach, causing her to stagger and vomit out blood. The mother, instantly stricken with fury, forcefully lunges herself onto her husband, knocking him unconscious as his head struck against the floor. In that instance, Awazeki's gaze was met with her mother's. Still recuperating from the assault, she suppresses her tears and smiles at Awazeki. "Sweetie, I—." Before she could finish, two shady men armed with rifles suddenly storms into the apartment and opens fire, killing both Awazeki's mother and father. Awazeki was absolutely horrified at the sight and fainted shortly afterward.
The following events leading up to her death are all but tragic; experiencing only anguish, pain, terror, and seclusion. Briefly after the incident, Awazeki was abducted into an underground trafficking system, constantly being auctioned involuntarily to serve as a slave to the auctioneers. Three years later, the underground trafficking system was unveiled by the government intelligence agency and operations were swiftly brought to an end. Awazeki was admitted to a hospital and later diagnosed with a severe case of psychotic depression (a combination of psychosis and depression). She was administered an abundance of anti-depressants and subjected to intensive stimuli but to no avail. Eventually, Awazeki was deemed as untreatable and transferred into a mental asylum. A year later, on her 18th birthday, she was found dead from excessive blood loss due to self-inflicted injuries.
