Background
Pastel born in the City of Atlas. Her father was a Atlas Academy graduated Huntsman and her mother was from Mistral. Her family was relatively wealthy and mostly stayed in the city of Atlas but made made many trips to the kingdom of Mistral. However, when she was four, her mother mother was killed by bandits in an ambush while visiting Mistral. This deeply traumatized and motivated Pastel to become a Huntress when she grew up.

When she was seven, her father found out that the bandit attack was orchestrated by an underworld criminal overlord called the Archaic Jester (AJ). This caused to move to Mistral where she led a normal school life while her father worked tirelessly to quell all crime in the Kingdom and to hunt down AJ. He had two of his bodyguards always keep an eye on her. Since her father was always busy, Pastel became close friends with one of her bodyguards, Olive. Occasionally, he would teach her how to fight to defend herself.

One day, when she was on her way back from school, she and her two bodyguards were ambushed by AJ's thugs. They killed one of the bodyguards and olive was fatally wounded. She was kidnapped by AJ and subject to brutal torture including beating, dunking in water and bleach, foot whipping, strangling, starvation, sleep deprivation, kneecapping, boiling, branding and mutilation to be used as leverage against her father. After weeks of torture, she finally broke, activating her semblance and driving her into insane bloodlust. At the same time, her father finally assaulted AJ's main base of operations, permanently disrupting his operations in Mantle He dueled AJ for a long time but he escaped however. She was rescued by Olive, who was horrified to see her brutally massacring all of AJ's thugs in her path.

For a long time she became reserved and soft-spoken, but after years of therapy, she was almost restored to her original-self. Despite objections from her school friends and peers, she decided that she would become a huntress and trained to do so. Her father payed more attention to now, spending less effort hunting down AJ as he was less of a threat.

She attended Sanctum Academy in preparation to attend Haven Academy. She was enrolled into Haven Academy when she was 17. Her father was killed by AJ after finding his new base of operations, and she vowed to continue her father's work and hunt down AJ herself.
