Ylfa’s formative years left her feeling largely neglected by her mother, who spent the majority of her time trying to advance up the megacorp ladder. Ylfa responded by rebelling: running with the ‘wrong crowd’ and getting into trouble. She didn’t hate her mother; her hate was reserved for the megacorp culture that treated employees as nothing more than disposable goods. But Ylfa did resent her for falling into the corp trap and she was determined to never follow in her mother’s footsteps. | Ylfa’s formative years left her feeling largely neglected by her mother, who spent the majority of her time trying to advance up the megacorp ladder.

She also learned her father was something of a rapscallion himself in his younger days. They bonded that summer before he set out to sea again. She even still keeps in touch with him from time to time to this day. |
− | + | A few months later, Ylfa’s mother died. Again and again she had put off going to the doctor about a problem she knew she had, but she couldn’t miss work you see. The Corp doesn’t care about your problems. If you don’t perform you can simply be replaced. As far as Ylfa was concerned, the Corp murdered her mother. | |
With her father out at sea, Ylfa was left to her own devices so she turned to her gutter punk friends. She discovered she had a talent for trading; bartering items stolen by her compatriots for things they could use to survive. She did that for a number of years before finally becoming a thief herself. Drawing upon years of gymnastics and ballet lesson from her younger days, Ylfa became a successful second story woman. She was almost caught a few times but always managed to get away, though one time it cost her a hand. But a hand was easy enough to replace and Ylfa was never shy about body mods anyway. As far as she was concerned, her new hand and forearm was even better than the old one, what with that nice sharp blade hidden away in it. | With her father out at sea, Ylfa was left to her own devices so she turned to her gutter punk friends.

Over time Ylfa grew bored of Iceland. Sure it was home, but she wanted to see the rest of the world. She had saved up quite a bit of money so she decided why not go see it? She decided to go to Scandinavia first and spent some time exploring Norway before continuing on to Sweden. It was there that she heard about the Buccaneers of Aland. Life on the sea and causing trouble for the corps at the same time? She had to try it. She found a group of some other like-minded individuals and bought in on a ship of their own. | Over time Ylfa grew bored of Iceland. Sure it was home, but she wanted to see the rest of the world.
