𝚈𝚄𝚁𝙸 was born in the lawless outskirts of the undercity, at least that was what she'd known all her godforsaken life. Undoubtedly, she could have been unwanted, a mere discarded waste sent to brawl within the atrocities of the place others now liked to call Zaun. But was there ever fun in trying to search for a past that wanted no affiliation with her? You see, Yuri doesn't think things worthwhile unless they involve a little thrill, a little adrenaline to keep her heart thumping with life. After all, she's almost lost that sliver of proof that she was alive years ago, but. . . that's a story for another time. She has escaped from that fucked-up place after that, thieving and scrounging and running to survive in a place as prestigious as the topside she's residing in now.
What has now piqued her interest, for the mere sake of daunting rumours and the intriguing wonder of having to go back to Zaun after all these years, was the fact that Silco now has a new pet. Yuri could really care less about his new projects these days, new clays to mould into the exact replica of him, but she can't say her interest wasn't the least bit piqued when the mill churns and whispered that it was dear sweet Powder. . . well, actually, the menace that everyone keeps calling Jinx now. But still as blue-haired and sardonic as ever.
God, did she miss home.

Aarna never thought two pink lines could shake her world.
She stood frozen, staring at the test in her trembling hands. Pregnant. A word she had longed to hear, yet feared the most.
Would he accept it? Or would he push her away again, just like before?
The door creaked open. Her heart pounded.
Sharad's sharp gaze met hers. "What are you hiding?"
Her breath hitched. She wasn't ready for this. Not yet.
