Editing Garotte (section)

==History==
===Background===
Sveta was a fisherman's daughter living in a small village with her family, probably on an alternate Earth.<ref name="29.7e1" /> She was taken in the middle of a storm while delirious by several other 'monstrous' capes, and given a Cauldron formula.<ref name="29.7">[[Venom 29.7]]</ref> Following her release from Cauldron's custody, in an area that was not America,<ref name="29.7c1">She wasn’t based in America at the outset, so the PRT had no involvement for some time. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/venom-29-7/#comment-44656 Comment by WildBow] on [[Venom 29.7]]</ref> she accidentally killed well over hundred people.

Given her accent, it's likely that she spent some time in [[Russia]], either before or after her transformation.

Eventually, she was captured and placed in a [[Parahuman Asylum]].

After a point when she was in the asylum she gained computer privileges, though she had to share with someone else. She eventually found [[Parahumans Online]] and choose the username GstringGirl, for a laugh.<ref name="I19c2"/><ref name="GW8 e1">Whippersnap: I saw you in the casey thread. you had your name changed but you did a bad job of covering up the change.<br><br>'''Space_Squid:''' I didn’t cover it up.  The old name was a lark at a time I needed to laugh but I’m done with it.  Its embarrassing now - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2017/11/04/glow-worm-p-8/ Excerpt] form [[Glow-worm P.8]]</ref><!--was this case 53 also a tentacle monster?--> 

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Mrs. Yamada visited her on the same day she was acclimating [[Glory Girl]] to her new environment.

Sveta was waiting above the doorway to her room when [[Jessica Yamada|Mrs. Yamada]] arrived for their session. Her tendrils wrapped around Mrs. Yamada's suit and then constricted before Sveta apologized. Mrs. Yamada told her to focus on her relaxation exercises, but Sveta said that it was just making it worse. An airbag gave way and Sveta apologized again before saying that they should've talked through the mirrors and that she didn't want Mrs. Yamada to die. Mrs. Yamada told her that the point of the sessions was to socialize her before hushing her and telling her to focus on her relaxation exercises.

Eventually, Sveta was able to uncoil from Mrs. Yamada's suit and move herself over to her 'bed' while settling her organs on a shelf on the post. She apologized again, but Mrs. Yamada said she understood. Sveta asked about the patient that Mrs. Yamada had seen, only for Mrs. Yamada to remind her that she couldn't talk to others about her patients. Sveta said she understood before asking if the patient was a bad guy like she had been - saying that she had killed people before. Mrs. Yamada told her that it was her power that had killed them and that they would talk about it in their session before telling her that a doctor might be able to tell her about the new patient through the intercom. 

Mrs. Yamada asked if she had been keeping her journal and Sveta grabbed it. The doctor asked if she could look at it and Sveta allowed her to. Mrs. Yamada then asked her what had her so agitated before Sveta asked her why she wasn't scared of her. Mrs. Yamada told her that she had no reason to be.<ref name="18.z">[[Interlude 18.z]]</ref>

===Post-[[Battle against Echidna|Echidna]]===
Distraught over her [[Weld|idol]] leaving the Protectorate, Sveta rapidly lost progress in her treatment.<ref name="23.4 e1">“It’s a matter of professional courtesy,” she said, more like she was talking to herself than to me.  She was still getting herself sorted out, her raincoat hung up, rain boots replaced with slippers she’d been holding beneath the coat.  “Being prompt, it indicates that I respect and value your time.  You can’t confide in me if I don’t respect you.”<br><br>''Respect me?''<br><br>I looked down at the floor for a moment.  She was looking at me when I raised my eyes to her.  “With all sincerity, it was due to forces entirely out of my control, with complications at every turn.”<br><br>“Bureaucracy,” I said.<br><br>“You’re not wrong,” she said, “But it was something else.  A patient of mine, institutionalized, she’s reacted badly to certain events in the last month.  Someone she idolized left the Wards, and-”<br><br>I could see her stop, composing herself, the stress and preoccupied attitude melting away.<br><br>“-And this isn’t about that.  This session is about you.”- [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/01/drone-23-4/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.4]]</ref> She was paid a visit and accepted an invitation to the Irregulars.<ref name="27.5e2">“Sveta idolizes me.  She sees me as a hero, a spokesperson for our kind.  Her therapist asked me to come visit, because she heard about what happened in the [[Echidna]] attack, what Cauldron was doing.  All of her progress, gone.  So her therapist wanted her hero to show up.  Give her guidance, support.  It worked.”<br><br>“That’s a good thing, isn’t it?” [[Taylor|I asked.]]  I saw Eidolon open fire, not a dramatic attack, but a subtle one, a series of darts that left dark streaks in the air.  My entire body tensed, as if I could jump into the fight. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/extinction-27-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.5]]</ref><!--Stood by weld in defending Doctor Mother though she admitted that her subconcious would attack the mistress of cauldron due to he past misdeeds<ref name="28.x">[[Cockroaches 28.x (Interlude)|Interlude 28]]</ref>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
Sveta was with the [[Irregulars]] when they were deployed to [[Oil-rig battle|the oil rig]].

She later took part in the mission to [[Cauldron's headquarters]]. During the mission, the container the Irregulars stored her in cracked, forcing Sveta to choose a target to attack. Sveta attempted to focus her tentacles on Scion, but was unable to maintain focus solely on him and inadvertently killed [[Doctor Mother]].<ref name="29.7 e9">Sveta's tendrils continued to extend, stretching out.<br><br>Each one chose the Doctor as the mark.<br><br>"Had to pick someone," Sveta whispered.  "Couldn't focus on him alone.  I'm sorry, but you're the best choice."<br><br>The tendrlis found points closer to the Doctor's midsection, crushing.<br><br>The Doctor's screams became strangled.<br><br>Sveta coiled around the Doctor, burying the woman beneath overlapping tendrils, until there was a cocoon and a girl's face, curled up on the stairs.  Blood pooled beneath them. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/venom-29-7/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.7]]</ref>

Helped halt [[Scion]] from destroying [[Taylor]]'s group and bought them time to escape. Sveta herself was able to escape later.<ref name="29.9 e1">I focused on my bugs. Searching the area. I didn’t have many, but two bugs floating a foot apart could fly at chest level and run into most people standing in a corridor.<br><br>A cluster of bugs died, wiped out by lashing tendrils.<br><br>''Sveta made it.'' - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/08/venom-29-9/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.9]]</ref>

Like the other capes she was snatched up by [[Khepri]] and was deposited in [[New York]] when [[Doormaker]] lost power. She rapidly tried to separate herself within an apartment and tried to calm down.<ref name="30.6">A rooftop overlooking New York, Earth Bet.  ''My'' New York.<br>[...]<br>I watched the monsters and the lunatics.  The tentacle girl was hanging back, hiding inside an apartment, trying to calm herself. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/speck-30-6/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.6]]</ref>
