Editing Contessa (section)

===Background===
Contessa was born as Fortuna on [[Earths|an unknown alternative earth]].

When she was a child, [[Eden]] crash-landed in a vicinity of Fortuna's village and [[shards|pieces of her body]] contaminated food and water sources. Multiple people in the community turned into [[Case 53|monsters]] plunging it into a chaos. Fortuna was one of the few, if there were any else, who kept their own body.

Fortuna's trigger event included a vision of Eden and Scion's plans to sow conflict and destroy humanity, and she set about finding and killing the entity with a power that was still unrestricted. 

The entity, realizing what she was trying to do, restricted her power so that it could not be used against Entities. However, Fortuna had already seen the steps required to kill the Entity, and with the help of a woman who would later call herself 'the Doctor,' Fortuna stopped the entity from killing her and reclaiming the critical [[shard]]. The Doctor, with a knife and directions given by Fortuna, stabbed the entity in a critical location, rendering it brain dead. 

The Doctor and Fortuna founded Cauldron with the sole purpose of stopping Eden's partner entity, Scion. They harvested Eden's corpse for powers, which they granted to other people. Ashamed of the human experimentation she performed to improve the power formula, Fortuna took the name Contessa out of respect to her parents and a desire to avoid sullying the name they gave her.<ref name="29.x"> - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/interlude-29/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 29]]</ref>

Through the years Contessa as served as the doctor's bodyguard, whenever they went on dangerous [[Contessa vs. Lung|assignments]].
