Shortly after Lyalya’s birth, her mother got sick and died. Lyalya’s mother, Anya, had never had great health after the fire. Lyalya’s father died in an uprising shortly after Lyalya joined school. Her grandparents took Lyalya and fled. Living as refugees in Paris, Lyalya and her grandparents scraped together a living doing low level work. Her grandparents died before Lyalya joined a university, and she’s been on her own, working to pay her way through University with scholarships and crap jobs.
