Background :

Born in the Arcadia region of the planet Argolid, Atalanta was born with an undetected genetic deformity.  The eugenics laws of mnemosynê, barbaric in this domain, allow parents to expose such children.  Very few do, but unfortunately for Atalanta, her parents barely hesitated.

Exposure means being left outside the city gates at a particular time of year, until the child either dies or is adopted and taken in by another family.

In Atalanta's case, she ended up on the doorstep of a family of saurus hunters.  They still swear that they do not know how they got there, and Artemis' name has been invoked.  As is often the case, in similar mysterious circumstances.

Her new life was seemingly much closer to her nature, trading the overcrowded cities of Argolid for the unforgiving but beautiful wilds.  Atalanta indeed had a savage nature, disappearing for days at a time, covering leagues with her swift-footed stride and seemingly endless endurance.

Unfortunately, there are all too many who do not savour such high and free spirits.  A regrettable incident with a group of drunk and arrogant tourists wound up with two overconfident men decapitated.  The judge, rather surprisingly, accepted mitigating circumstances and Atalanta was merely ostracised.

No matter.  The stars are just another form of wilderness.  A crew like that of the Argo did not hesitate to welcome aboard such an intrepid young lady, whose buoyant humour contributes so much to onboard life.
