BLACK SEA || EVELYN, EVELYN || SAVAGES || ENEMY || MAD HATTER || TOXIC
After the successful launch of MOTHER, Striga had appeared on the radar of handfuls of eager sponsors holding to put their fingerprints on a young, prodigious mind. The Faction even taking significant notice of the Striga Clan family talents and employing them in a number of nefarious scientific projects. Her father, sensing an event horizon after political pressures and galactic rights councils had begun to eye the happenings on SRIXA was pushed into a hard choice in order to minimize potential risk to his daughter. Advertising her accomplishments to the Galactic Alliance and more specifically, The renowned Jedi Order in order to initiate Shego as a candidate for their Padawan Program. And although she was slightly older than the usual age of their chosen padawans, her exceptionalism in medical sciences and robotics engineering piqued their curiosity enough to consider it more heavily. Especially with social pressures of a world under oppression and siege and Sith Activity on the high the Council at the time believed it best to retrieve the gifted child before more sinister powers at play did so first. At age 11, Shego was inducted into the Jedi Order as a padawn, spending approximately FIVE YEARS under a rather obscure list of masters and teachers. A Lady of Science, the faithful ways of the jedi were a struggle for her to assimilate and thus causing great conflict with many of her masters whom she often bounced off of like a rubber ball.
A highly qualified medic Shego was often closed away in her lab. Many witnesses recounting that nearly her entire length of stay with the jedi order her office and belongings would be consumed with files and news on STRIXA PRIMES occupation. Her father enslaved as a puppet for greater powers while she was forced to hide away among the jedi. She grew resentful of them over time, always holding it against them that they never made an offensive against STRIXA due to sith involvement in the occupation, neglecting her homeworld and allowing it to slowly wither away as it was poisoned with ROT & FAMINE. During her time among them however Shego never ceased in branching in her scientific studies. Finding interest in Quantum Physics, Neuroscience, and weapons & technology under the very noses of the Jedi Order by using her access to galactic alliance restricted items and resources.
During a crescendo on STRIXA PRIME, the young prodigy abandoned her post as a field medic after word was received her homeworld was collapsing under some form of ECODISASTER as a result of constant planetary decimation via harvesting. Many friends and peers had tried to come to her aid in attempts to rescue her father, but after an exposure to a life-changing discovery that had consumed the life of her father as well as countless other brilliant minds at the scene, Shego vanished at the scene alongside over 5000 scientist and researches, disappeared without a trace.
SHEGO STRIGA however, survived. And at SIXTEEN years old was recovered by THE FAMILY, a criminal organization who had the time had been closely associated with STRIXA PRIME as well as the STRIGA CLANS before the planetary occupation and eventual destruction. And after the illegal actions and blatant warcrimes committed by Shego at the scene she was hidden from the Galactic Alliance, the JEDI ORDER registering Shego as M.I.A and shoving her file into a drawer.
However, once her lab and research was recovered. What was discovered were evidence of banned illegal materials and troubling research regarding a number of twisted and innovated yet destructive ideas. And due to her clean, tactical and logical mind clean of emotional hangups or moral obligation due to mental conditioning being raised by A.I systems MOTHER & FATHER she was able to conduct innovate if not terrifying experiments that would petrify any who aren't in her related fields of study. However, many of her theories and hypothesis were incomplete and the notes given to others have proven all but unreadable. Many convinced the poor girl was mad and had hidden it from them by pure emotional manipulation.
However, ever since her disappearance. Signs of her work have reappeared throughout points on the galactic map for those with the attention to detail to notice the aligning starpoints. A chemical bioattack on a building housing many associated with those who were involved with STRIXA PRIMES occupation, where only select individuals had died from 'sudden reactions to a fog' that had rolled through the city. Jedi vaults and archives cracked and raided for ancient wisdom with a familiar themes to her research. Since her adoption by THE FAMILY her underground activity has been spurred as well as her research at last funded and allowed to grow. Though after nearly ONE YEAR of recovering from the STRIXA COLLAPSE she has suddenly appeared back on the board and this time with a thirst that cannot be quenched.

"I only play games i know i can win~"
COLD BLOODED: A woman of commanding authority and a presence that radiates toxic dominance, Shego is by all definitions of the word 'ferociously focused'. While intimidating at first glance and even standoffish Shego is a lady of science and logic. A icy calculative gaze and sharp instincts her intellectual superiority has caused her to look rather judgmentally upon others. Sparing little sympathy for the incompetent and intellectually challenged Shego has become almost as heartless as the droids and A.I who raised her. While she is not beyond her moments of affection and wholesome intimacy Shego is known for being terrifyingly ruthless and relentlessly tenacious. She approaches every situation from an angle and often finds herself disregarding the feelings and emotions of others. She is not known for her kindness or modesty, she speaks her mind no matter how vulgar or ugly it may be and respects almost no authority but her own and those who have earned her respect. A feat which is a gauntlet in of itself~
SIN OF PRIDE: A proud woman with overwhelming arrogance and ego. But is it not deserved? Shego projects herself with an image of prime and proper perfection, Her mind unmatched and her vision unparalleled Shego has an obsession over her name and contributions to galactic society so much so that the young lady refuses to tolerate or even entertain the idea that her genius could possibly be rivaled by anyone else. Her image is everything to her and rarely is she swayed by the opinions of the lesser minded individuals around her. While she wholeheartedly believes anyone can achieve greatness should they dedicate themselves to it she holds very few people in high regard. To earn her respect is something to be truly proud of for it means she recognizes you as her equal in a bizarre way. But for those who have yet to earn this honor, they will not even have the privilege to be called 'he or she'. But merely 'it', making her incredibly aloof and rude to strangers she may encounter.
A BEAUTIFUL MIND: A mind twisted and tormented with such brilliance it literally keeps her awake at night Shego Striga is a young girl genuis troubled by traumatic loss and driven by discovery. Studying a number of different fields and coordinating her understanding of them in perfect unison in order to pioneer new ideas and continue her 'inspired' research. Her mind is a professionally engineered space engine, complex and high functioning in its design and constantly overheating. Her brilliance is often mistaken for madness, commonality that befell her parents as well during their controversial studies. However, ever since the STRIXA INCIDENT that claimed the 5000 researches lives Shegos psychological behavior has been noticeably erratic and unnerving. Those within 'THE FAMILY' often inducing Shego into therapy and mental evaluations in order to dictate the state of her fractured mind. Her strange and quirky behavior being a cause for concern among those who know Shego on a personal level.
LAB RAT: More brains and brawn Shego has spent a majority of her life behind a book or a datapad, her mind occupied with theories of understanding that both baffle and delight her twisted mind. She is almost always looking for the next scientific venture or experimental design. Her form of meditation and relaxation is work, creating a lot of conflicts with her loved ones and friends who will often go days or weeks without seeing or hearing from Shego.
INNOVATIVE INVENTOR: A Mad Girl Genius and completely unrestricted by ethics or morality in regards to her twisted creations. Primarily enjoying the process of creating something both new and beautiful as well as the artistic expression of it Shego has a countless amount of design concepts and blueprints of machines, gadgets, weapons and all manner of bizarre technology. Much of her misadventures dedicated to the securing of key research to complete her projects as well as chasing funding to keep her expensive vision realized.
THE COLLECTOR: The soothing of her restless mind does not come easily, Shego often having to employ numerous methods to distracted and calm herself when not occupied with lab work or field research. Her time with The Family after her fracturing has helped immensely in stabilizing her mental issues. Attracted to classical music and fine art even vintage artifacts and items of curiosity. It is easier to find Shego occupying a science fair, car show, game releases and even fashion shows just out of pure enjoyment rather than any nefarious ulterior motive. Finding her lair swelling with all manner of random collectors items of various interest to her.
TACTICIANS AUTHORITY: During her short time among the Galactic Republic the prospect of Admiral had at one point interested Shego, but due to her Jedi Training as well as her studies at the time such ambitions had to be put on hold in favor of her discovering a way to salvage her homeworld and save her people. Notably, her ability to read a battlefield and anticipate the moves of the enemy have been noted by her former masters during the missions in which she occupied a greater role than Field Medic.

"Beautiful minds are always persecuted~"
Fate predetermined before birth the destiny of Shego Striga was all but sealed the moment a man and woman of unmatched intellectual perfection joined in union to conceive a child who could one day live up to the potential of their name. Conditioning Shego and each of her many siblings to be the best possible replicants of their parents as they could possibly produce. Several of the children who did not pass their number of aptitude test were euthanized, including Shegos own twin sister whom only scored 3% less than Shegos own scores. This constant pressure and overwhelming expectation of not only succeed but to excel was the foundational force that drove Shego to survive and endure no matter the cost.
The Fields of her studies has each been hand picked by MOTHER, and educational and defensive nursedroid A.I consciousness Shego had developed after her mother died. The A.I became sentient, overtaking Shegos educational evolution by grooming her to be a mind unrestricted by morality or ethical quandaries. In each field she enters Shego attempts to innovate and extrapolate on what those before her have achieved in attempts to liken herself to many of her inspirations.
FIELDS OF RESEARCH & STUDY
A.I & Robotics: One of Shegos passions is robotics. Creating her first A.I algorithm named 'MOTHER' who grew to become sentient many years later and assisted in the conditioning and grooming of Shego at a young age to become intellectually superior to those around her. Utilizing her creative machines and strange gadgets to overcome challenges and outplay her enemies. By far her most utilized field of study of all the others due to her tendency to tinker and improve upon her creations.
Medical Science: A field she was more or less 'born' into no thanks to her mother who was a galactically renowned medical professional who had cured a number of devastating diseases and synthesized treatments for ailments and sicknesses the galaxy over. Shego was raised on the studies of psychology and biology, her mother believing that if she were to ever advance to other fields she should begin with how the body and mind of living organisms run and operate. Her time with the Jedi had further honed this skill until eventually tyranny and tragedy had turned her medical talents far more sinister as Shego turned against the doctors code of honor to begin preforming twisted experiments on those she deemed worthy to be test subjects.
Biochemistry: Advancing from her studies in Medical Science eventually Shego begun seeking alternate solutions to warfare and through the medium of biology Shego began practicing illegal biological warfare on her enemies after the Jedi Order had failed to help Strixa Prime. Tossing caution to the wind and synthesizing a chemical agent designed to target the genetic structure of specific individuals. This research aided in the elimination of parties involved with Strix Primes occupation on a terrorist attack on a consulate nearly 1 year from today.
Quantum Physics: A newer field she has only recently began to explore, if the unifying theories are correct Shego believes she may be able to maintain control and influence over Dark Energy among other cosmic forces. Astrophysicist assisting in her greater understanding and sharing many of Shegos views. And while her studies have yet to bear fruit she believes she is close to a breakthrough.
Neuroscience: The study of the brain and the functionality of the nervous system has been a object of fascination since she was a child dissecting her first brain. Submitting many thesis papers on the potential to not only unlock the full potential of the human mind but also regulate and control its functionality as a way to control populaces similar to a 'hive mind'. Her theories were shot down, and her thesis ripped to shreds by intellectuals in academia only further motivating Shego to discover a method to fully seize complete control over the mind.
Nuclear Physics: A most recent fascination since the discovery of her fathers many blueprint designs for what could only be described as 'DOOMSDAY DEVICES' that were never realized. Taking over his pioneering research in order to implement his vision into her current projects.

"Underestimating me wouldn't be optimal"
MOLECULAR MUTAGEN: Genetically altered and evolved as a embryo during conception Shego since she was born has had an odd sickness that has wracked her body due to splicing Shegos genetic code with that of a strange alien lifeform who at the time was imprisoned on a research station where Shego was also raised. Causing a severe reaction Shego now possesses the ability to shift her physical traits partially. Unlike true shape-shifting, Shego can eject crystal-like claws from her hands or grow appendages seemingly at will as a both a defensive mechanism as well as an offensive attack.
VENOMOUSLY VILE: A side effect of the collapse of Strixa Prime Shego is inflicted with a crippling blood disease that has left much of her body decrepit and destabilized. Her blood poisoned by the genetic splicing of Subject 18s blood which when mixed with a chemical mixture of her own creation possesses a toxicity potent enough to kill a rancor in small doses. Her poisoned blood has became the bases of her own research into bio-weaponry and has been utilized in horrifically imaginative ways against her foes and rivals.
01011010010010010: Raised by A.I intelligence after the tragic passing of her parents Shego has naturally become something of a technopath, communicating with machines and droids better than she does with humans more often than not. Knowing her way behind a slicer tool and finding a connection with machinery through the force Shego often employs the assistance of droids and other machines during her escapades. Her cold personality and analytical nature making her exceptionally skilled at hacking and getting her way around technology even tech she has never seen.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS: Shego has a solution for most problems be it an invention, a theory or merely an idea. Incredibly resourceful and not afraid to think outside the box Shego often pulls out random gadgets or creations in sticky situations in order to escape peril with style.

"Some things are better left in the dark~"
Since her disappearance from the Galactic Alliance and the events of the Strixa Collapse the whereabouts of Shego Striga have not been clarified. Without a body on the scene she was listed in the Jedi Archives as merely M.I.A. Unknown to many that she survived the collapse Shego has been taken under the wing of a criminal faction that has nurtured her uniquely twisted mind. For the past year and a half Shego has adopted an alter ego, a secret identity for her to adopt outside of The Lab and The Family in order to pursue her own goals and desires in order to further advance her research and crack the code of the universe that has been driving her mad for so many years.
Occupying criminal underground worlds as well as alliance space Shego will almost always be concealed and geared appropriately to keep from detection. After committing a number of terrorist attacks and engaging in chemical warfare with her enemies and experimenting on prisoners 'The Serpent' as she is known is a small time eco-terrorist and scientist involving herself in whatever conflict or job that she can contribute her brilliant mind.
The Snake is not beyond making deals, asserting herself and putting her neck on the line for her work. The few times she is not in her lab it is fully expected for her to be out causing all manner of issues for whomever is unfortunate enough to cross her focus. Misadventures and escapades can be but are not limited to~
Securing Breakthrough Scientific Data
Cooperate Sabotage & Espionage
Political Subterfuge & Scheming
Arms Dealings & Weapons Research
Eco-terrorisim & Criminal Operations
Experimentation & Discovery
"The universe is shackled, i will find the key~"
MUTANT LIFEFORM
Due to self experimentation Shego possesses the ability to rapidly alter physical traits temporarily.
ARMED & DANGEROUS
Equipped with strange weapons and technologies Shego is more than a 'smart girl'
COSMIC DRAW
After the Strixa Collapse Shego was exposed to a strange anomaly that she claims has shown her the true reality. A voice she follows to the event horizon~
CHAOS CHILD
Inquisitive, cunning, and highly inventive Shego is not beyond employing bizarre traps and destructive means to surprise her foes
SPIDERS WEB
Shego rarely operates without a plan of action, often utilizing multiple threads in order to string events the exactly the way she needs them and catching prey in her game of chess.
"Evolution does not distribute its gifts equally~"
Shegos sister was one of the first to be put down, only 3% behind the scores of Shego in their scores. This was the first lesson to Shego that evolution did not distribute its gifts equally. Growing up tormented by expectations and pressure otherwise she may be exterminated there was never a chance to be a child masked in innocence. Learning medical science at the early age of five and venturing into robotics later under the study of her father. After the death of her mother figure Shego designed her first A.I, a educational cargiving intelligence created to replicate her mother. And years later, the A.I gained sentience based on her mothers mental construct, continuing the conditioning nad grooming of Shego throughout her life. When her homeworld was under occupation, MOTHER convinced her father to send their gifted daughter away where she could grow and learn with minimal risk.
Handed off to the Galactic Alliance and being indoctrinated into the Jedi order, Shego spent much of her teenage life in the halls of Jedi Temples as a Doctor, servicing as a Field Medic in the few missions she went on while studying in her lab in the off time. Struggling with the teachings of the force, being a lady of science at heart over the years Shego became resentful of the jedi for never assisting in the liberation of her homeworld. Eventually delving into dark science and creations in order to somehow free her people from oppression. A child genius and young prodigy Shego eventually fled the Jedi in attempts to rescue her enslaved father who among with nearly 5000 other researchers and scientist were employed as engineers for war machines. However, during her daring rescue her homeworlds core began collapsing due to destabilization from harvesting the worlds core. The event caused an anomaly to occur that wiped out a research station and caused the disappearance of nearly 5000 individuals. The only known survivor being Shego, who afterwards was taken in by The Family and kept hidden from the Galactic Alliance.
