Prior to coming to the Borderlands, Heiya had a lowly outlook on life and herself as a result of childhood trauma. She didn’t care about anything, never tried anything, and casually slept with men to get anything she wanted, thinking she could die young after her womanly allure faded. However, her outlook changed during her first game. As she neared death countless times, she began reflecting on how careless she was, how prudently she lived, and learned the value of life.
