Hezala's Backstory

Hezala was born into a wealthy and happy home. Her parents were both very famous clothing designers and had spent plenty of time pampering Hezala. For a long time, Hezala was treated like a princess, as she practiced gymnastics and ballet. She was frequently commended for her excellent form and capacity for success in these subjects. Everything she did was always complemented by servants, her parents, or the friends her parents arranged for her.

However, one day, a certain rumor sprung about her parents. There was talk about a small group of rich folk who had been committing unforgivable crimes to Faunus, but no solid evidence was found about this, so it was never followed up upon with investigations. Hezala had also been entirely unaware of this, as all her information came from servants who instructed her, and she knew little of the Faunus besides what her parents told her. This was mostly some very lightly hateful remarks about the Faunus, and their filth spreading. All was still calm, and Hezala was at a very high level in gymnastics, and was quite the dancer. But, upon her turning 11, the White Fang, a very prominent Faunus rights group, had suddenly stormed her home, due to their new leader wishing to act out against prominent discriminators of the Faunus. She, her parents, and all their servants were held captive. The servants were killed, as they each passed Hezala grew more and more unstable. She and her family were mocked and beaten, for days on end, and not allowed to eat. The members of the White Fang there fully intended to starve them to death.

Hezala was terrified, and she had begun to feel immense pain from a combination of the frequent beatings, and the lack of food. She had never been this hungry before, and she'd never been struck... She was absolutely confused and afraid, horrified that people could do this to anyone. Her father would always shout at them while they beat him and tortured him, calling them disgusting and filthy Faunus. Suddenly Hezala understood. These were the Faunus that her parents always talked about. The scum that was plaguing the earth. They came and attacked her family, when Hezala had done nothing wrong, she hated them more than she could ever hate anything else. When the Faunus had finished looting the house of all of it's material wealth, they decided to get rid of her and her family. But first, one of the White Fang pulled her aside, and said he would give her a personal punishment, as he told her that her parents had tortured his little sister to death.

He brought her to another room, pinned her to the ground and took out a knife. He began to make a deep diagonal cut into her left arm, as she screamed and cried. She eventually mustered all her remaining strength and kicked the Faunus in the groin. She quickly used his shock as an opportunity to grab his knife, and she stabbed it into his side, sliding out from under him as he cried out in pain. She knew entirely that she had no hope of beating any of other White Fang, and that they could easily overpower her, so she decided to make an attempt at escaping, taking to her heels as she bolted for the door, now unguarded by the White Fang so preoccupied with the execution of her parents. Her arm was visibly bleeding, and it was freezing outside, so she quickly grabbed one of her mother's fur coats as she ran for the door. Unfortunately, one of the White Fang members who had gone astray from the others, leaving to report the execution of the Shelob family spotted her. But it was too late, and Hezala had been able to run through the door, and after a minute of bleeding, she made into the entrance of a hospital, where she promptly lost consciousness due to blood loss.
