The topic of family was a funny one for Aphra. In regards to her biological parents, her father was Caesar - a known menace and exiled among most of the clans - and her mother was just some random she-cat. Aphra had one biological littermate, her twin sister Fakhira. The both of them hadn't known their mother long and at the very least, Aphra didn't remember much of her. Their mother had been killed shortly after Aphra and Fakhira had been weaned and the two sisters had to learn how to survive on their own. Caesar visited them occasionally, though he showed no obvious care for Fakhira, something that Aphra learned to mimic. She grew to hate her littermate for being so 'lazy' and eventually lashed out at Fakhira, tearing up her sister's ears. Fakhira still stayed with her despite this but as the two got older, Aphra got tired of Fakhira being around and once again attacked her, this time scarring up Fakhira's face. This time, Fakhira fled and Aphra was finally alone.

But being alone was boring. Eventually Aphra was drawn to The Typhoon's tavern and she met Pincher Roux, the Captain at the time. The two of them hit it off in one of her spare bodies and Aphra soon learned she was pregnant. She joined The Typhoon, mostly to throw the kids into Pincher's care. She had no care in her body for the Roux kids she bore and quickly left the group after they were weaned. By the time Aphra returned to The Typhoon a year later, all of her children had disappeared. But of course, she didn't care. As time went on during her return, Aphra soon started developing a lust for - ironically - Pincher's adoptive sister, Roxanne Roux, but the munchkin she-cat did not share those 'feelings' and instead started to date and eventually purposed to Diya Folie-Mikaelson. Enraged, Aphra decided to have a fling with a Pittian, letting him know that she was solely having kids to try and manipulate a friend. The Pittian had been  drunk at the time but agreed to be the father of the litter - unfortunately, her idea of trying to manipulate Roxanne into liking her solely because she was going to have children had failed, and Aphra was stuck with yet another litter that she did not care about.

But despite that, Aphra tried to control the litter this time. She tried to manipulate them into thinking that everyone in The Typhoon hated them and herself for no reason and that they were all out to get them. Which in a way, was true; The Typhoon was out to get Aphra, but not for 'no reason'. The she-cat was clearly an abusive mother and they wanted to get her kids away from that. And of course, Aphra didn't want them to take her children away from her. That would, after all, ruin the whole illusion she was trying to raise them up in. Eventually though once again, Aphra decided to leave The Typhoon for a while, but she decided to take Vayne with her - and only Vayne. Vayne had ran off and returned back to the ocean-dwelling group, much to Aphra's anger. She attempted to get Vayne back and take Vayne back with her, but she was attacked and was warned that if she ever shown her face to The Typhoon again, she was going to be killed. And so, that brought Aphra to the Coalition. Mostly out of pettiness, because she knew the Coalition and Typhoon were huge enemies.

Aphra was up that night for no particular reason and she watched in curiosity as Sojourn exited her home. With her curiosity getting the best of her, the Espionage slunk off and followed her leader to the Hall of Kings, where she got there just as Sojourn started to vent to the unmoving statues. Aphra flattened her ears at Sojourn's roaring voice, accompanied by the echo of the cave, before she decided to finally reveal herself to the Kingpin. "Then destroy them." Her words were flat, not knowing of Sojourn's relationship to Ninazu and Stryker. "If they were such horrible leaders and should not be remembered, erase them from history." That seemed like the easiest thing to do.[glow=COLOR,1,400] ━ ✧*:･ﾟ[/glow]
