Ethel was orphaned at a young age. With no one to love and nowhere to go, Ethel felt empty, alone, just an empty bucket rendered useless by holes. A few years pass, and we see this whole different person in her place. The Robotex War definitely did a number on her. They were the reason she was alone, and now she wants to collect what they owe her. 

Read the first part of her story. A story full of love, hatred, and the desire for revenge. She just wanted the sweldo she deserved.
