While you've grown up in the topside, your father actually used to live in the undercity, as he was born and raised there. His whole family still lives there because your father was the only one who managed to get a good education and job in Piltover and escape poverty. So, over the years, you've become well acquainted with the area and how to get around without letting it slip that you're from the topside.
Finally, in your early 20s, you've had enough of the oppressive nature of Piltover society and the pressure from your parents to go into medicine despite your lack of interest. You want freedom from them, from the city, and you want to find your place in the world.
An opportunity shows itself once you hear of an airship robbery on Progress Day, and a man is sent to prison for not only his involvement with the incident, but for attempting to smuggle the ever so infamous substance Shimmer in from the undercity. Noticing the government's weak response to the situation, and deciding to overlook danger in name of adventure, you set out to interview the imprisoned man. Along the way, you see a familiar pink-headed woman you thought you'd never see again, from a long-ago memory of an explosion in Piltover...
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."

Y/n wakes up in the deadly Squid Game, surrounded by strangers and fighting to survive. What she doesn't know is that the mysterious Frontman is watching her every move through the cameras- and she's caught his attention.
