*As for the whole war veteran idea, I was thinking about someone who was uncomfortable to polite company simply by being a reminder of something that most people want to just sweep under the rug and/or confine to a nicely abstracted historical footnote. Both the fact that there was an actual war were a whole bunch of people died in probably very terrible ways, and the fact that some people were more or less coerced into it - uncomfortable stuff viewed from a position of privilege.

The concept in brief: poor, disabled child, dumped into a state-run orphanage at a very young age, eventually adopted into a wealthy industrial family, but was old enough that she never lost her roughness and was never really accepted into that society. But, being raised half her life in luxury, she now can't go back to her roots--even if she wanted to, she'd never fit in. So she's a product of two very different worlds, not fully accepted by either, not really wanting to be a part of either (she's seen how rotten both worlds are), so kind of drifting between the two at the edges.
*Expanded: A military character from that time period could have been part of the forces defending the conspiracy or, more likely, part of the military force that fought against them for the honor of the Consortium, but the whole time period is one that makes for very awkward situations even today.

She wants to find her parents, to at least know who they are, and has developed her skills at tracking people down as part of that. She kind of fell into bounty as a side-effect of that. She could return to her adopted family and the corresponding life of luxury, but doesn't want to deal with everything that entails.
