How hard can it be to rebuild a mech in a junkyard? Scarlet grew up hearing her father's stories, a lifetime of heroic victories and daring adventures. She asked endless questions about the mechs he piloted, how they worked, and most often, if she could drive one. A burning desire took hold in her chest, a need to be just like her father. To pilot, to fight, and to help people. But stories are sanitized, and reality is unforgiving. Her earliest memories were exploring the endless junkyard that surrounds the village she called home, searching for discarded, forgotten machines to take apart. With every broken part, with every mistake, she learned. After all, mistakes are the best teacher, and Scarlet is a dedicated student.
