(Mostly backstory, recommend read!)

**The story will contain a few chapters of them while they were younger, and the rest following the events of TUA seasons 1-4**

On the twelfth hour of the first day of October nineteen eighty nine, forty three women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these woman had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible.

He got eight of them.

Bianca Hargreeves was one of the eight, and she was a child with superhuman abilities, as well as her siblings, apart from number eight. Each of the siblings had their own perculiar power, and in this case Bianca's, number seven, powers were those of a banshee. However, due to these powers, her father had often locked her up for her to overcome the feeling of death, which was only the start of the chain of traumas the girl had experienced.
After the death of her 'brother', Ben Hargreeves, it was made apparent to her that her life would eventually fall down, onto the same path as her brother Klaus.

Reginald Hargreeves was their father, he had adopted them and took then on as his own, only for one reason, turning them into perfectly indoctrinated weapons. The man was only focused of this, and as a result, he had no time to care for the children or give then any love or support.
Due to their fathers metaphorical lactation on the children, that came from his heavy neglect, the children had to create their own relationships and care for each other. This was one of the reasons that they became so close. Bianca grew an extra liking towards Ben, the two had became the type of close where you wouldn't see one without the other. They would tell each other everything, and due to the heavy amount of years they had spent together, they had both started to grow feelings for one another, even if they didn't know it yet.

Although they were labeled 'siblings', the children were in fact not biological, and the only thing they shared is a last name, and the same upbringing.

As well as her relationship with Ben, Bianca of course had a close relationship with one of her only two sisters, Allison, or number three. Their relationship mainly grew from the fact they had been surrounded by boys, with their other sister, Vanya being secluded from the family, and even if they tried to make conversation, she would ignore them. The two were able to talk about and bond over stuff that they couldn't talk about with their brothers, whether it was about makeup, or boys.

Luther, number one, had also taken a particular liking into Allison, which of course Bianca knew all about, though it was no secret. Their siblings would often tease the pair about their little 'relationship' they had with each other. In terms of Bianca and Luther, they weren't the closest siblings, but they had of course had somewhat of a relation.

The connection between Bianca and Diego had been growing since they were eight. The girl would often help Diego with his stutter that he had, and she assisted him in pronouncing his words, which Grace, their mom, often did as-well.

Even though their mother was a robot, the children always saw more than that in her. As their father was absent most of their life, Grace was a machine which Reginald created to take care of the children, which of course they were always thankful for her for.

Finally, aside from her closeness with ben, Bianca and Klaus, number four, were an unusual duo, however it worked quite well. Klaus was often described as the 'outcast' of them all, as described by Reginald. Bianca always saw past this label, and the two became close very fast. Klaus was infamous for his inordinate use of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs, which only became worse in his adult years. Having said that, Bianca was the opposite, she had avoided these recreational substances, not to say she hadn't considered it, and she was seen as a sweet and thoughtful person, as oppose to Klaus' unconcerned and airy personality.
 
Klaus and Bianca had shared the trauma of being locked in 'the box', as they call it, in the basement. This was a chamber in which Reginald had locked them in during their private lessons, so that they could both overcome their fear of the dead, and death, in hopes of fully understanding the capabilities of their powers. The box was always a scary place for the both as they each shed their fare share of tears being locked away with the horrors that occurred in there.
