It started with her first friend. She was three years old. Her black and silver hair was short and her dark magenta eyes held happiness almost every single day. Marionette Puppeteer wasn't loved by her parents and was deemed weird by other kids and parents because of her pasty skin, weird streaked hair, and her eyes. She lived in Egypt, her family had moved here from Germany when she was born, and met Eliya Isa on her first day of school. She had asked Eliya for a red colored pencil and when she grabbed the pencil, she brushed Eliya's fingers, barely touching her. They became great friends. It was a month after Marionette's birthday did Eliya die.

Marionette and Eliya were celebrating about their quirks; Marionette had gotten both of her parents quirks, Threads and Regeneration and Eliya had gotten her mother's Sand quirk. The week after, Eliya had been infected with a rare virus that wasn't caught in time. Eliya died painfully in Marionette's arms. It was the day Marionette had been diagnosed with Insomnia. A few days after her first friend's death, Marionette attended the funeral with no emotion on her face. She was still shocked and confused about what happened. She was also confused about her quirk.

Regenerating Threads was a weird quirk but one that could grow into something very strong. It was a stronger version of her mother's, who had grown to hate Marionette in envy for her quirk, and of her unknown father. It allowed Marionette to see colorful threads coming from people. She later learned it represented emotions; the red, gold, silver, and bronze representing love and quirks. She could touch the threads and could make them more or less vibrant and could rip them out of people, causing immense pain. She was terrified of that power but she was more terrified of the other side of her quirk. It allowed her to make clear strings that attached to the person she touched. She could also use the clear strings in any way she wanted and could detach them from her finger tips. She could control the person from the clear strings that attached to her finger tips. It also intrigued her, to the point where she read and taught herself how to be a puppeteer. The other part of her quirk allowed her to regenerate any wounds or lost limbs. Threads would appear from the wound or where the limb would and slowly make a new limb or "stitch" up a wound until it wasn't there anymore or just a scar was left. It made her step-father and mother very jealous, abusing Marionette physically and mentally.

When she was eight, she was given a younger brother, much to her delight. Her parents started ignoring and abusing Marionette, who didn't understand if this was good or bad since she was so young but decided she would protect her little brother from it. It was also the day she was diagnosed with depression after burying her 7th friend. She took up drawing as one of her coping mechanisms, the other was wearing bright and happy accessories to calm her.

When she was 12 years old, she finally had enough of the abuse she received and ran away from her home, bringing her little brother with her. She moved to Japan, having already learned Japanese when she established that her biggest dream was to attend UA High School to become a hero, but the damage was already done. Now she was diagnosed with insomnia, night terrors, and depression.

Officially at the age of fifteen, Marionette will have to go past her limits to achieve her dream as a great heroine. Accepted into UA and dealing with the overly caring students and teachers, will Marionette let UA into her heart where she holds so much fear and sadness? Will she ever repair herself before her new friends find out about her problems? Will she allow her friends and teachers to help her or will she cast them all a cold shoulder, too scared of them dying because of her like all her other friends before?
