Prior to the beginnings of North Star, her rural home was swept up in a terrifying unknown outbreak which would result in the light of many being snuffed before their time.
The quiet and small town she called home was promptly put under quarantine as the epidemic spread. The disease discriminated little and children, adults, and elderly alike took ill and succumbed to its fatal grip, and while those who lost grieved, many more were overtaken by its virulence.
Yet as swiftly as it had come, did it subside, and with it all traces concerning the origin and source. The cause would never be identified and the unresolved case closed as the years passed.
The plague took both her parents, but oddly enough had left their child untouched.
To the surprise of the surveillance team upon reentry, they found the child beside her parents's bed, severely dehydrated and famished, but alive.
How the pestilence that had purged so many, passed over her alone is unknown, and despite a thorough examination, was never uncovered.
Rain was then taken in by a relative in the suburbs hence where the story starts.
