History: Vega Shadows was born in Junon to Carol and Jonathon Shadows. Her mother was a book binder while her father smithed weapons. Her parents did their best to shield Vega from ShinRa for fear of losing her to it, enrolling her in ballet classes and gymnastics. Despite their best efforts though, by the time Vega was eight, she was idolizing SOLDIER's. In an attempt to change Vega’s interests, her parents moved them to the western continent, to Rocket Town. Little did they know, that ShinRa had a test going on there for space exploration. This did nothing for changing Vega interests and she became more and more interested. She was often found, and punished, for wandering around the rocket while ShinRa’s teams were working. Some of her foul language was learned by a pilot there and her parents far from appreciated it. It seemed there was just not enough good influences around to turn their daughter into a proper young lady.
On a trip to visit family in North Corel, Vega's parents were killed. She was fourteen years old at the time. Instead of trying to go on to North Corel to the rest of her family, Vega returned to Rocket Town. She gathered up the money her parents had saved and found a dagger her mother had kept before leaving town. She used the money she had from her parents to bribe her way onto a ship headed to Junon, since that was the only place she really knew well from when she was a kid.
When she arrived in Junon, she found work that someone her age could handle and offered an elderly lady half her pay to let her stay with her. After a few years in Junon, Vega left Junon and made her way to Midgar and tried to join SOLDIER. She was rejected and made a foot soldier. Three years later, when she turned 20, she tried again and this time succeed and became a SOLDIER 3rd class. She excelled to SOLDIER 2nd class during the meteor incident. She traveled around quite a bit during that time for SOLDIER before resigning. She saw that ShinRa wouldn’t be around much longer after this so decided to cut her ties. She returned to Midgar and helped to clear the slums out before Meteor fell. During her last run through, she found a little girl, about 9 or 10 who had hurt her ankle while her family was running out of Midgar.
While trying to take the girl out of the city and to safety, Meteor struck. She found somewhere she assumed would be safe for the girl and herself to hide. Vega kept an eye out on Meteorfall while the girl slept restlessly. When Holy and Lifestream finally fought off Meteor, Vega and the girl got caught amongst the brunt of it. Vega lost consciousness and when she awoke, the little girl had a bad case of Geostigma, covering most of her face and arms. Vega’s shoulder and upper arm were infected as well, but she took the girl and tried to find her family. Along the way, the girl took a turn for the worst. Vega was barely able to return her to her family before she joined the Lifestream.
From that point, Vega wandered around Gaia, seeing what she could do to help Geostigma’s victims or the families left behind. Her condition slowly degraded to the point that when she returned to Midgar, someone had to drag her to sector 5’s church to be healed. She spent a week in Edge to recover, Geostigma having taken quite the toll on her health. Vega carries scars around her shoulder from Geostigma which she found fades a bit with a tan. After that, she returned to her wanderings, sending people left with Geostigma towards Midgar and helping who she could. After awhile, she grew weary and learned about the World Regenesis Organization. Her Chocobo companion, Vex, carried her to WRO’s headquarters where she attempted to join them. Why help the world alone, after all, when you could work with a whole organization with that specific plan in mind.
Personality: Vega sees the world as something that humans have to take care of as much as it cares for them. For that, she never uses cars and travels instead buy Chocobo only. She has a few disagreements with said Chocobo on occasion, oddly. Especially when she wants to join in a Chocobo Race, they seem to have the most problems then. She doesn’t hold a grudge about that though, she never really does. Her view is that the past is past and everyone can change. She tries to be friendly with most people, mostly which depends on first impressions. When she drinks a lot, she tends to get slightly bipolar, so she doesn’t drink to often.
She’s at her most content when she’s traveling. She doesn’t have to do anything for anyone then and she gets a chance to just plain relax. Although, her Chocobo gets testy then and she often times thinks about frying him for dinner. In the end though, she never does because she’s attached to the Chocobo, like a child with a kitten. Vega is particularly fond of children, all their youthful energy and high spirits. Whenever she comes to a town with a lot of children, she makes sure she spends a bit of time with them.
Strengths: She's been fighting for awhile so she's skilled with that and enjoys the challenge of fighting almost as if it were a warrior’s dance. Vega is very brave when it come to monsters and skilled with ice magic which has become her specialty. She usually fights offensively so she can get the enemy quickly and stun them. Always full of energy, she somehow manages to remain a professional on occasion. Vega is a determined young woman, never letting up so both herself and the people around her don’t have too much of a reason to be disappointed.
Weaknesses: She doesn't know when to quit; she’s far too stubborn for her own good sometimes and doesn't stop when she should which causes her to become clumsy or get hurt. Terrified of losing someone close to her, she tries to keep her friends safe or better, tries to avoid making friends at all. Vega has a slight gambling problem but only when it comes to Chocobo races, she’s been in debt a couple times for it. Thoughts of her family sometimes make her frustrated and clumsy. Even with a map, Vega can somehow manage to get lost still.
