Eile's Bio

Eile Marelys Chica was born in 1984 in Denver, Colorado. Her father was of mixed Hispanic, Native American, and English descent, while her mother was Scots-Irish. When she was about one year old, her father killed her mother and then committed suicide. She barely remembers them, but holds something of a grudge against her father for depriving her of parents.

She was raised by her maternal uncle, an ex-Marine Corp drill sergeant who was forced to retire due to ill-health. Unable to work and with a meager pension to support the two of them, he was able to provide Eile with food, clothes, and a roof over her head, but not much else. She did have love, both from him and a live-in housekeeper/nanny. He also taught her boxing and some martial arts, so that she could defend herself. However, it instilled in her a tomboyish attitude that never completely went away.
