Aloka was a gifted tracker in her community before she was caught in the crossfire of a Metamorph territory war. To save her from a lethal respiratory toxin released during the fight, a local Strangekin cell performed an emergency splicing with the DNA of a dying Falcon-Shifter. The transition was seamless, and she found that her new senses allowed her to see the “song” of the wind, leading her to join the Vanguard to prevent such tragedies elsewhere.
