==History==
===Background===
Ava lost her parents during a plane crash<ref name="playtest Intro">''This Ward cages herself in metal much as she’s bound herself to the fight against ruin.  The image of her parents, surrounded by the wreckage of an Endbringer-downed plane, remains burned into her mind’s eye, pressing her forward.  She was never meant to be a soldier.'' - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hxYrt2d6b_LAaMPphcZEzwAruiSHQaiaBa3x2WMsGvA/edit#heading=h.2bi0bni2vmis Playtest Capes]</ref> when [[Behemoth]] destroyed the volcano islands of Hawaii.<ref name="24.y">“When my family got killed in Hawaii, I made promises to myself.  It’s why I came.  I don’t feel like I did enough, to fulfill my own end of those promises.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/25 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.y]]</ref> Ava gained her powers one month before [[Behemoth]] attacked [[New Delhi]].<ref name="24.y 2">“You just got powers, barely a month ago, and you’re already this grim?” Wanton asked.<br/><br/>“I’ve been dealing with the aftermath of the Endbringer attacks for a while,” Cuff said. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/25 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.y]]</ref> 
===Post-[[Battle against Echidna|Echidna]]===
Ava saw her first combat when deployed against [[Behemoth]] at [[New Delhi]]. She performed admirably, although she suffered a burn that would take a good deal of time for her to recover from.<!--<ref name="24.1 e2">““A lot of synergy in this team,” I commented.<br/><br/>“Sort of aimed for that,” Tecton said.  “They took everyone willing to leave Chicago, to support other cities that lost more members, offered incentives to the rookies if they were willing to move to another city.  Your-parents-can-afford-not-to-work-for-a-year kind of incentives.  I drafted these guys because I thought their powers would work well together.”<br/><br/>“Drafted?” I asked.<br/>[...]<br/>Other team leaders are going for versatility, to cover every base.  I say fuck that.  We build around a concept, a game plan.  Once I decided on that, I went out of my way to ask for Annex, even though another team had already picked him up.  Made my argument, Chevalier gave the a-ok.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/08/crushed-24-1/ Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.1]]</ref>-->
