May, 1895

Seven years had passed since the death of Jonathan Joestar.

When young Erina and the baby girl were rescued near the canary islands, she traveled back to England and inherited the Joestar fortune. Erina could have moved anywhere in the world, but she decided to stay here. There were too many memories to leave behind. England was her home, where she belonged. She bought a beautiful home to raise the children in. England was her home, where she belonged, and although she didn't need to work, the young woman became a grade school English teacher.

As for the baby girl, Elizabeth, she was named by Erina herself. Straizo, the Ripple master and Erina had come to an agreement that they would both take part in raising the girl. He wanted a daughter, and he wanted to train her in the ways of Hamon. However, Straizo agreed that Elizabeth wouldn't begin training until she reached the age of 12. He would also be taking her to Italy, where he trained. For now, she'd have an ordinary childhood in England where Erina would be the mother figure in her life.

Nearly a year after finding Elizabeth, Erina gave birth to Jonathan's son, George Joestar II.

Elizabeth and George shared a sibling-like relationship with each other throughout their early to middle childhood. She loved him, and he loved her. They became inseparable.

Speedwagon, he became a millionaire when he struck gold. Well, oil, actually. Shortly after, he founded the Speedwagon Foundation and used the money to fund research, among other things. The only thing left for him to do really was settle down and get married.

Life seemed to be going well for everyone over the past few years. It was a peaceful time.

After Y/N had found out about Jonathan's death, something within her snapped.

The rage, the grief. She had lost so many people in her life. The only family she had in her life had died while she had fallen into a month-long sleep. The fact that she wasn't even awake drove her mad. She wasn't there to protect him. Even if she would have been awake, there was no way she could have saved him. He was so far away. Saving him was impossible. Still, she just couldn't forgive herself.

Without saying a word to anyone, Y/N left town and never returned...

No letter, no last visit, nothing at all. Just gone.

Y/N paid a visit to Erina after finding out about Jonathan's death. It was a very emotional visit for both women. Erina assured Y/N that she could stay and live with her. She would be a part of the family.

She left Erina a letter the night she left England. The only thing Erina knew was that Y/N was heading to Ireland.

Erina was very worried and upset when Y/N was gone. Years after, she hired private investigators working for the Speedwagon Foundation to find her. In the end, it all led to nothing. The only time something ever caught the attention of the detectives was a time near Wexford. There was a story going around about a woman with strange hair that saved a young girl from being assaulted by a drunken man near a pub. The man was found bleeding out of deep wounds around his throat. A few hours later, he was already dead. The young girl was the only witness. She described her savior as a woman with glowing, neon-like eyes. Her hair was a deep magenta, and she was barefoot. This mystery woman was apparently wearing men's clothing. A black trench coat along with a flat cap. According to the witness, she didn't get to see her for very long. As the mysterious woman ran off at an incredible speed, she was covered with what looked to be steam.
