Pretty sure the Carapacians took care of her when she was young. Wait the whatsits? Right. Another thing I forgot to mention. There are a lot of these humanoid creatures with hard shells. Some black, some white. As humanity was dwindling due to an increasingly whimsical and psychopathic Condesce, she began introducing more of these Carapacians on to the scene. Are they aliens too? Uh... Sort of. They are definitely from other planets, so, yeah. Really the deal with where they came from is a whole other story for another time. But the bottom line is at some point, somehow, she started herding a bunch of them from their home worlds on to Earth and multiplying them. Something like a hundred years ago it became clear she favored these guys more than humans as her subjects. They're very loyal and seem genuinely dedicated to serving her. Must be what they were bred for. She still treats them like shit though, unsurprisingly. All these colonies started sprouting up. Like these modular cities floating on the water. It probably sounds cooler than it is. But they're basically slums. That's where they tend to live in large numbers. Roxy lives in one of these colonies. It's about 2000 miles from where I am.
