Bio:

- Was born to Iryna and Hojo (It is unknown how Shinra got their hands on Iryna to begin with)

- Was injected with Jenova's cells whilst Iryna was pregnant. Cardea was also infected with chaos-tainted mako that granted her psionic abilities.

- Raised in a lab for five years where she was pushed by Hojo through vigorous tests and training.

- When she was five, Iryna managed to escape with Cardea and then made her way to Nibelheim where she integrated herself and her daughter into the village to hide from Hojo and Shinra. Changing Cardea's name to Cara to hide her.

- Cardea grew up rather isolated from other children due to her being considered 'strange', though she did become close with Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart, more so with Cloud as they were both loners.

- After the Nibelheim Incident, Iryna and Cardea were recaptured by Shinra and then separated.

- Cardea was experimented on, and injected with increasing levels of chaos-tainted mako, which changed and heightened the natural magic levels inside of her, granting her the use of 'chaos magic' and turning her into the Cetra's legend 'The Scarlet Witch'.

- Some time before the attack on Mako Reactor 1, Cardea was found by Tifa, wandering around Midgar Sector 7 slums, barefooted, bleeding and freezing. Cardea has no memory of how she escaped Shinra or how she got to Midgar, though has flashes of her mother's pained face. (In reality, Iryna had managed to gain the trust of a member of Hojo's scientific team, Oleg, and persuaded him to release her, after which they both mounted a rescue mission of Cardea. They found Cardea strapped to a medical table and in the middle of being experimented on. Freeing her, Iryna begged Oleg to take Cardea and flee, and she would hold off the Shinra forces descending upon them. Unfortunately, as Oleg fled with Cardea they were caught by Shinra. Cardea's magic then lashed out and teleported her away, leaving Oleg and Iryna to their fates)
