Matrix Thirteen was a former member of Inferni in late 2007 and early 2008.
History
Matrix's story starts with her parents, who both played highly influential roles in her life. Her mother was an able female named Twilight Thirteen. During her youth, Twilight was frequently pitted against stronger pack mates. She had only one choice: she had to learn to fight, or she had to die. A natural survivor, Twilight exceeded everybody's expectations and became a talented fighter, relying predominantly on agility, balance, and more Eastern fighting styles.
Disgusted with her birth pack, Twilight soon struck out on her own. One cool summer night, she encountered a coyote hybrid with sharp yellow eyes. His name was Apache, and the two spent a violently lustful night together. They parted ways, and Twilight soon came to the lands of Bleeding Souls. Here she encountered another powerful canine, this time a pure-bred wolf named Skoll. Skoll quickly became ensnared in a dangerous war, complete with extremist guerillas and general basket cases.
Unaware of her pregnancy, Twilight left with Skoll to assist in the fight. Oddly, Apache had also become caught up in the fight, and the two were reunited. This time, the two decided their rendezvous ought to be permanent. Sometime later, Matrix and her brother Niyol were born.
Despite their lethal and violent lifestyle, Matrix's parents were surprisingly involved in her life. They protected her fiercely, and trained the young girl. Matrix was a natural, and excelled under the rigorous training. Like her mother, she was particularly gifted at the martial arts. Apache also taught her how to craft her own tools and weaponry.
Personality
Matrix is a little bit strange. She has a tendency to stick out, between her strange appearance, her odd eyes, and her quirky mannerisms. She's fascinated with fire, a regular smoker, and quite the introvert. Although she is not particularly violent, she is more than capable of taking care of herself and occasionally comes across as being very cold. In reality, the girl is aloof; it takes a long time to gain her trust, or even to prove "useful" to Matrix.
The Greenhouse
Location
Matrix found a pre-existing greenhouse five blocks or so outside of Inferni's territory in the old human city. She decided to claim it, as well as about three acres of land surrounding it, as her own.
Addition
Her first task was to construct a storage shed of sorts. It was built by hand and resembles a log cabin in structure. It is located along the northern wall of the greenhouse and passing through it is the only way to get inside. Inside, there are shelves filled with various tools, as well as her furnace (see below).
Furnace
An old furnace was taken from a glass-blowing exhibit at the old amusement park. Over the period of about a week, she used a dolly to move it to her location with the help of Skoll. She now uses it as a source of heat for any crafting she does, in addition to keeping the plants warm in the colder months.
Repairs and Maintenance
Broken panels were repaired once the furnace was in place. Old debris was removed and the roof was swept clean so light could penetrate more easily.
Clean-up
In an effort to make the whole area more zen-like, Matrix decided to remove the six nearby houses by burning them to the ground. She ripped out the fences that divided the properties to expand.
Once spring rolls around, Matrix intends to do more landscaping. The following points embrace the "final vision" of the greenhouse:
Indoor Flora: Part I
The predominant motive behind the project was to grow marijuana plants so that she had a steady supply of weed, even in the winter. As such, roughly 1/2 of the greenhouse is devoted to this cause. As time progressed, however, Matrix decided to make the greenhouse her home. Approximately one quarter of the greenhouse is to be filled with sweet-smelling and colourful flowers to enhance the atmosphere she wishes to create for herself. These will be mixed in with the marijuana plants, especially along the perimeter where they can be seen.
Indoor Flora: Part II
One quarter of the greenhouse is set aside for others to potentially use. Matrix figures that healers can suggest useful herbs for her to grow, or, if trusted enough, can personally access the greenhouse and tend to their plants on their own.
Outdoor Flora
In the spring, Matrix intends to plant wild flowers and outdoor marijuana, which she will tend to less and mostly let nature run its course. Along the perimeter of her property, she intends to plant trees (in hopes they will block out more of the ugly city).
