Background / History

Bronya previously lived with Anti-Entropy's orphanage group, where she and the other children learned to pilot agile mechs. She was also bullied at the orphanage; her retaliation frightened the bully, but she lost her best friend as a consequence. 133 229

At St. Freya, Bronya became a frequent customer of Zhao Bai's restaurant, favoring Russian dishes, authentic sour cream, salmon roe, and high-grade military rations. 28 32 She later purchased Zhao Bai's restaurant for sixty million USD after it was bought out, ensuring he would not lose it. 168

Bronya's partnership with Zhao Bai gradually became romantic. She repeatedly protected him in combat, openly admitted that she liked him, and later wanted their relationship known publicly. 162 165 518 681
