Elbent Lore Part 1
I’ll try to keep this is chronological order, so have what Elbent’s life was like before she crossed pathed with Sunder.
Was considered as a cargo transporter.
Though she is considered small for the job, don’t let her structure fool you. This girl can lift some heavy stuff, she can put some big bots to shame.
Her colony had a mine where she transported the minerals, metals, and gems that were mined in bulk, but never worked IN the mine.
On free time, she would sometimes shadow a local medic and learn their ways for basic care, along with methods of healing.
Elbent dreamed of some way escaping her designated function and becoming a medic.
Many bots laughed and told her she wouldn’t be able to handle the medic life, that she would transport cargo from the mines for the rest of her days. Although, some did support her dreams.
She never sided with the Decepticons or Autobots when the war reached her colony, but she was pressured to pick one side after a bot falsely tipped the authorities about her being a Decepticon spy trying to steal their resources.
Seeing both sides being at a fault, she disputed those who forced her to choose, and in the end, being cornered, she had to run away.
Sneaking off on a ship, she found a planet that was not tarnished by war.
At least she thought.
Prior to the war and her escape, Elbent became friends with some of the actual miners of her colony, typically the ones near the surface, but befriended some deep within the mine once in a blue moon.
She would hum some of the songs sung by miners.
When given the chance, she would go to the local bar that the miners frequented and drink with them. If given enough, she would get giddy and start singing.
Though not singing often, when she does, many say she can sing like an angel, saying she could ease anyone’s pain.
Does not do good with compliments.
You compliment this gal and oh boy, she will either reply with a simple thanks and go back to her responsibilities or just stare at you for a second and laughs awkwardly. No in between.
Many miners that were injured beyond repair asked for Elbent’s singing before their passing. Sometimes she made it in time, sometimes she didn’t.
Due to associating singing with the passing of many friends, Elbent never wanted to become a singer like many encouraged her to do, saying she could escape the labor life and sing for the rest of her day... she just wanted to try her best to revive those who were able to be saved, a medic is what she really wished to be.
Actually took many MANY years before she would even sing for anyone after her escape.
