So Codebreak rant because I love Strix too much /pos /silly:
I don't really have many theories for Strix and what their life was like before being forced into a video game but I do have one thought I can share:
So if you watched the first vod, later in the video when Strix, Zane and Myth are sticking together, Strix says: "I think I'm in the middle of something again."
Why I feel the need to emphasize the word "again" I'm not really sure but it implies that something similar happened to Strix/Piper before.
My theory is that:
Maybe Piper had two friends before Myth and Zane and during Myth cause we know that Piper and Myth were friends before the game. What if Piper introduced these two friends to each other and those friends developed feelings for each other and slowly but surely left Piper out of the trio.
So what if Strix is afraid of that happening again but with Zane and Myth because Piper has obviously seen the tension between the two?
I love this bird freak far too much and I already know I'm going to look into this character so deeply /silly /pos.
Also dammit I already kin this character because why is that so relatable? /silly
