Backslash's Bio Ref

History/Bio: Sparked in Animatron to creators of various feline variants, Backslash lived a relatively happy life despite her creators had a bit of a struggle raising her due to her unusually massive and bulky design. Despite she needed a lot more attention and effort due to her poor health at the beginning, but fortunately she managed to thrive well in the end as she got stronger and healthier. Backslash never lets her slowness bring her down and was always happy to run and play around with her creators despite that she was also relatively heavy. When the time came to introduce her to others in hopes of finding a playmate for her, Backslash was excited to no ends to play with someone, but unfortunately found out that in playing with someone, she had nearly crushed someone under her weight during one of their games. Ever since, Backslash became scared of playing with anyone and started closing herself off, becoming far more shy and refused to approach others since that accident as she'd refuse to play any games with anyone. There were also others whom would look at her and make fun of her by calling her all sorts of insulting names, which furthered fueled her fear and discomfort of others. Backslash's creators did everything they could to help her, but just about every single tactic they tried to have her play with others even just about around her size and weight had all ended in complete failure.

Things became far worse for Backslash as the more she upgraded, the more bigger and stronger she became. By now, the little Femling was already a large massive 'bot despite not fully grown yet, and her size alone even if she wasn't bearing her fangs at anyone was enough to intimidate a lot of 'bots around her and barely had anyone to play with by now. Overtime she slowly grew less closed off but still kept to herself, but additionally she seemed to show interest in younglings and newborn sparklings, surprising her creators as such a thing was highly unusual in mid to late juvenile stages of a youngling's life. Backslash, now in her early adolescent stage, spent most of her time helping local areas where younglings and sparklings were being looked and watched over while their creators were out doing whatever they were up to. At first, Backslash braved for whatever insults the little ones were going to throw at her, but to her surprise they all seemed to enjoy her presence as they weren't the least bit scared of her. Being a gentle giant, she allowed the little ones to crawl all over her and play on her massive frame like a jungle gym, which often worried the others that volunteered to help watch the little ones but after seeing how much of a gentle giant the Liger was, and had no complaints about being climbed up on, they allowed it.

Backslash's creators, however, would often try to get her to befriend others instead of just spending time either inside their home or at the den where others volunteer to help care for little ones. Try as they might, the Liger had been set on wanting to help others. What she did do however was that her creators would learn to teach her how to hunt in her spare free time, but unfortunately being slow as she is, she couldn't pounce fast enough on unsuspecting prey, which then resorted her to using her intelligence at using traps to catch her own prey instead of the normal ways her creators have done for stellar cycles. Balancing her daily routine of spending morning time hunting, afternoons to late evenings helping care for little ones, and then late at night to hunt and stock up on prey, she eventually upgraded into a full fledged Femme. She had refined her skills in both hunting and trapping, as well as how to care for little ones which she'd then pass this bit of knowledge to newer volunteers on what to do depending on the situation with a little one. Backslash was completely satisfied with the life she's made for herself.

One night, while she was out checking to see if any of the traps she's set up, she spotted a ship that flew overhead. Backslash at first thought nothing of it as she figured it might've been a group of tourists seeing the sights of the thick, lush jungles of the planet from an Aerial's point of view. However her curiosity on where it was going got the best of her when she scaled a nearby tall tree to see where they were going. Backslash's quick assumption had been proven wrong when she saw that it ceased in the direction of where her home, her den was. Not wasting time, she made her way as fast as she could back to her home, ignoring everything else as she worried for her creators. When she did get close enough, she quickly hid behind some bushes in a hurry. She saw her home had been wrecked and turned upside down, and her creators... She was devastated when she saw them being carted away in cages. A part of her wanted to help, but when one of them saw her, they immediately shook her helm, gesturing to them through specific noises warning her to stay back and run away to save herself.

Doing as told, Backslash reluctantly ran off in energon tears, wishing this wouldn't have to happen as the sounds of the ship beginning to take off rang and echoed in her audio receptors. Her creators were gone, taken off the planet. It was hard for her to believe that such an unfortunate thing had to happen to her, leaving her wondering what did her family do to deserve such a fate. But now that she was alone and her home was sacked and destroyed, she had nowhere to go to. The other volunteers that she befriended at the place she helps take care of the little ones have heard of the news and they did the best they could to help her, and one of them even stepped up offering to take her in as a roomie. Unfortunately Backslash had become so isolated and she had changed greatly from the loss of both creators at once. She still stayed around to help care for the little ones, but then she had decided on a new change to her favourite thing due to when some of the little ones had started catching a sort of sickness that was spreading among the little ones, Backslash had decided that she would become a form of healer with the help of one of the other carers who'd offer to teach her.

While Backslash is only a mere apprentice healer, she worked hard to refine her skills with a lot of time and patience.
