Born of both Decepticon and human, through deadly and unethical experimentation, Axelia is a creature that should have never been thought up, let alone alive. She is a hybrid with the ability to look both human and Cybertronian. After escaping the place of her birth, she struggles to fit into human society.
After moving to a small costal town, she attends high school and eventually finds her solace in music. She encounters a problem when one of her classmates comes to school one day in a Cybertronian disguised as a car. Due to the lack of information given to her by the Decepticons, Axelia believes all Cybertronians to have the same moral beliefs as the ones that brought her into existence. As Axelia struggles to hide the other side of herself from those she deems dangerous, more of them begin showing up, causing her to seriously contemplate leaving this town she had grown so fond of.
When her classmate and his car show up at an impromptu concert of hers, he persuades her to let him drive her home. This proves to be a terrible idea when they are attacked by Decepticons. Even after reinforcements show up, the Autobots were greatly outnumbered. She could have run or stood by as the Cybertronians tore each other apart but the deep-seated morals that even torture couldn't cure her of made her blow her cover.
Scared of being used and manipulated again, Axelia planned to run after defeating the Decepticons only for the Autobots to convince her to stay. After learning about the war between opposing ideals, she is still wary, but when the one called Bumblebee is gravely injured, she is again left with no choice but to end a war she only just learned about to save the ones she's beginning to care for.
