She was placed in an orphanage and then in a series of foster homes. She was an honor student in all her classes but didn't really have any friends. Everyone thought she was weird and avoided her. When she was 17, she joined the military and trained for three years. Afterwards, she went back to school and enrolled in a high-class university where she studied ancient arts. She was only in the program for six months when she became involved with one of her fellow students who was just graduating from the program. He was an obsessive man and searched endlessly for something, but he would never tell her exactly what it was he was looking for. In the year 2000, he took her with him on a trip to the South Pole with an expedition that was going there. They were first-hand witnesses to the Second Impact. He died a year later of a debilitating disease that struck quickly. On his deathbed, he told her what he was looking for and gave her access to all the information he had gathered. They had built the beginnings of NERV together, and it was up to her now to finish the project.
