Saffron is the daughter of a school teacher and a traitor. She grew up believing her father was a war hero, killed in action defending the Confederation of American States against Aztlan aggression in 2035, when she was 5. The truth was somewhat different, but she wouldn't learn that until nearly two decades later.
While she was a metahuman child in the early days of the CAS, her father's status as a KIA CAS soldier and her mother's position as a teacher and later administrator in the Greater Atlanta school district isolated her from much of the cruelty and racism of her homeland. That protected and somewhat delusional upbringing lead her to choosing a career that would allow her to help others — nursing.
Once she was on her own at university, that illusion was pretty much shattered. It seemed like everything was made harder — they provided no accommodations for her stature, and metaracist behaviors of students, staff, and educators went unpunished. Her natural mental toughness and the comradery of her fellow metahuman students kept her going until an incident during her third year (age 21).
During the release event of Euphoria's Final Fling, she was attacked in the on-campus store by a fellow student after purchasing the last special edition copy in the store. By the time campus police arrived, he had stabbed her over a dozen times in the shoulders, neck, and face — including damaging both of her eyes.
During the discovery phase of the ensuing lawsuit, it was discovered that her attacker had a history of anti-metahuman violence targeting women, and it was covered up by the university due to a relative in the administration. Saffron won a substantial injury claim, including coverage for all her medical expenses, reimbursement of three years of tuition, and a guarantee of the university's assistance in fully transferring her credits to another institution of her choice. After recovery, Saffron finished her nursing degree in the UCAS, at the University of Washington in Seattle.
