Aida (Ah-Ee-da) was born in Ethiopia on the 1st of October 1989. At age five, she was taken in by Sir Reginald Hargreeves and became number eight; living with, training with, and growing with The Umbrella Academy for 12 years. Her body automatically heals, but since age 17 has been resistant to heal others. After escaping the academy, Aida lived a turbulent life, never staying in one place or in one relationship for too long. Often taking thrill seeking and clumsiness to the extreme, and ending up dead for months to years before her ability brings the young woman back to life. (hence the unflattering nickname). When Reginald dies, she finally returns to her childhood home, and memories which she has tried to suppress resurface, along with relationships she's kept at multiple arms length. Meanwhile, a long lost friend returns with news the world is soon to be in ruins and apparently the seemingly emotionless yet perpetually anxious Eight is supposed to help stop it.
