History
The allure of treasure, something that Blanche could never ignore despite her best efforts.

She was born after the cusp of revolution when the Intergalactic Peace Federation (I.P.F) stepped in to aid the fall of Earth and their subsequent empires. Gone was their precocious technology, replaced by the age of agriculture and mining. Earth had taken aback several centuries, forced to start from scratch. As such, scavenging for lost artifacts and forgotten monuments became a sport, a forbidding competition that only concluded with death.

Growing up in a mining providence, Blanche had access to the equipment and skills many aspiring scavengers didn't. Including, the influence of other teenagers in the town that sought the glory and wealth that finding even the slightest link to the past entailed. Adventure always fascinated her, the prospect of discovering something new filled her with euphoria, so when her friends asked her to join them as they explored the old shaft, Blanche couldn't say yes any faster than what she did.

Going against the elder's advice, the company ventured passed the warning signs and into the belly of the cave. At first, they thought everything was taken. Not a single gem or artifact was to be found. When they went to rest after hours of walking, the group wandered into an opening. The cavern floor was unstable, crumbling into a pool of liquid as the last member stepped into it. With nowhere to swim but down, Blanche separated from the others, diving down into the depths.

It was there she heard a faint heartbeat and saw a slight glow, she held her arm out to feel what the object or creature was. Pulling herself closer to it after properly holding onto it, Blanche witnessed what it was. But by then, it was too late, as the statue's infection spread to her. Coating her in stone and diamonds.

There she still lies, waiting for the next victim to become infected by the alien disease.
