After A-872 left her in Arc City, Bronie was a young orphan living on the streets of Arc City along with Theresa, having to scavenge trash cans for leftovers to feed themselves. Eventually, they were found by the Taixuan, a gang controlling a part of the city, and were taken in by them. There, they would learn various skills, including hacking and how to fight.[1] One day, Bronie met a mysterious mercenary called Raven, real name Cioara, whom she challenged to a fight: if Bronie was the winner, Raven would have to take her away from Taixuan, as Bronie had been feeling trapped there and wanted to see the outside world. Raven agreed to this but since she was an experienced fighter and Bronie was still a child, Raven was the ultimate winner. However, Raven had already decided to take Bronie in; to accomplish this, she would have to challenge the master of Taixuan in the Death Arena. Raven was victorious, albeit with injuries, and was able to take Bronie with her. She opened a bar called the Raven's as a safe haven for Bronie to grow up and live in, although she had originally presented it to Bronie as a way Bronie could repay her debt for making Raven/Cioara fight in the arena. Meanwhile, Theresa became a popular idol of the Arc City, but would still occasionally help Bronie with some of her missions and adventures.
