Y/N has been Diego's friend for ten years. Her meeting with him happened by accident. It was midnight when she left the convenience store. Since her apartment was near, she only walked to go home. The possibility of dealing with bad men wasn't a big deal to her since she has powers.

On her way home, she saw police cars surrounding her neighbor's house. She was about to ignore them when she saw two people arguing—a woman who was obviously a detective while the other was dressed up like a man version of Catwoman. She wanted to know what would happen to him so she sat on the sidewalk in front of her neighbor's house. She opened the bag of chips in her hand and ate it.

Diego was arguing with Detective Patch because he was interrupting the investigation again. He wanted to capture the criminals so they can be brought to jail.

After they argued, he let himself wander off, but not too far away from the crime scene. He looked around and saw a woman wearing a hoodie with a bag of chips in her hand. Their eyes met but it broke when someone ran and passed by the strange woman. He recognized this running man as the criminal. To his surprise, she threw her chips at the fugitive and chased him.

After hearing the quick approaching steps and seeing the man's confirmation that the one who's running is indeed the criminal, Y/N threw her chips at him and followed him.

She was able to corner him in the alleyway. He was about to lunge on her when she used her powers to deal with him. Their surroundings became black and the criminal felt he was floating in the air. In reality, she could manipulate him into thinking that he can't see anything but pure darkness.

Diego found the criminal floating in the air in the alleyway in front of the strange woman he saw earlier. He glanced at her hands only to see a black ripple in it. They stared at each other and that was the time their friendship started.

Y/N remembered the day where she first met his siblings. She was about to bring him lunch that day to talk about a crime Detective Patch found when he messaged her that he needs to go back to his old house, The Umbrella Academy. She was curious about how his siblings were like, so she went to their home. Another reason for her visit is to discuss Detective Patch's investigation.

When she arrived, the sky on the backyard turned into light blue as if there was a portal. Wasting no time, she used her powers to float in the air and immediately go to the backyard where she witnessed a boy falling to the ground with more oversized clothes than him. The Hargreeves siblings were as surprised as she was. And that's how her friendship with the siblings started.

She was taken to the house and was brought in their care despite Diego's unapproving. When she asked him about this, he said he didn't want her to get involved with his messed up siblings. She laughed at him when he said this. But she assured him by saying, "I'd rather be with people who understand me the most with my powers. Maybe you can help me control it." And they did help her control it—mostly Five did and then Vanya when they arrived in Dallas back in 1963.

She was able to help them with their missions. When Diego thought he got stab by his own father, Y/N used her powers to avoid the blade piercing deeper in his body. Her powers are useful, especially at night, since it was dark already.

Today, they successfully returned to their original timeline, just a day after the apocalypse. Everything was back to normal. Ben was able to find his way back to Klaus. Grace and Pogo were alive. When they appeared in the living room, they congratulated them on being able to save the world.
