A saiyan female named Shima was recently born to low class saiyan warriors, Bardock and Gine. With her older brothers, Raditz and Kakarot, out of the house for the day it was unusually peaceful.

Despite her age now at 5 months old, the saiyan infant was very calm not really making much noise besides cute attempts at words or simple babbles.

her father Bardock, a powerful warrior with a usually stern attitude watched over her as Gine, her mother, cleaned up around the house a little bit.

the peaceful silence was broken as Bardock made a sudden realization and called out for his wife

"GINE!"

she came running over a little concerned

" is something wrong?"

bardock shook his head

"no no, but look!...she isn't blind after all!"

he said gesturing to his daughter who was pointing directly at him trying to babble out "dada"

The saiyan child was afflicted with albinism,  when she was born every single doctor available had to run tests, especially on her vision. A saiyan with albinism, regardless of sex, was completely unheard of on that planet. she was wrongly diagnosed as completely blind, as she wouldn't open her eyes much due to photosensitivity and she could never focus well on a single object without her eyes crossing.

"strange, it must've been a mistake...im happy but her eyesight is still pretty bad we can tell that much"

her mother said now thinking, despite her reservations of not wanting her only daughter to fight especially because of her vision, she couldn't deny Shima was extremely powerful... as well as not wishing to be overbearing with protection. but shima still had a lazy eye and her irises darted around with nystagmus

"she won't be able to fight without some workarounds"

Bardock knew where this conversation was going

"Yes that will still be a problem....I will let Lord Frieza know but-"

Gine cut him off with an unexpected agreement

"But she's certainly no pushover for power, and he may still want her in his army, even if her training is specialized....after all she was born with a power level of 8,000"

bardock was surprised but didn't dwell on it for long acting instead to grab his scouter

"yes, Gine. you are absolutely correct"

a high pitched long toned beep rang through the device before the contact on the other end came through

"Commander Zarbon, I seek audience with Lord Frieza! Shima's status has shifted."

A massive rounded ship capable of holding several thousand people orbited planet vegeta.  It's owner, Lord Frieza, a rather short reptile-like humanoid quietly surveyed the day's events through video feed, and being occasionally debriefed by soldiers that came aboard from other planets. Out of the blue, one of his elite practically bursts through the door, almost catching his emerald green braided hair in the door that was closing behind him
