One mercenary, after being bitten by her, name her Cú Ceat Bak, which means "wild child of the Bak" as a joke and the name stuck. One of the other mercenaries sensed her Ki, which most Plutonians lack, and they raised her until she was old enough that she could be sent to the training grounds. At the training ground, the skills that the mercenaries had taught Cú Ceat let her advance rapidly among the ranks. She received her armbands in a week and her neckband two months later. One year later she received her first earring and three years after that she received her next earring. The trainers offered Cú Ceat a job as a range warden, whose job was to capture mercenaries and criminals, as well as to kill berserker animals who attacked the homesteads. Cú Ceat refused out of loyalty to her adopted family and returned to them. On her way to the mercenaries' hideout, she saved an ice dolphin (who call themselves Uisdean and trade with the Uisci) from a berserker Bak. The ice dolphin dedicated her life to Cú Ceat in return. The ice dolphin, named Othras, was also a science-mage and offered to help Cú Ceat be able to fight outside of Pluto. Cú Ceat agreed. They returned to the mercenaries, who helped Cú Ceat prepared for space travel. Then Cú Ceat and Othras returned to the training grounds where they travelled to Saturn and Cú Ceat trained and received, after six years, the tattoo of the elite fighters of Pluto, the rose. She returned to Pluto where she alternately taught at the training grounds and at the mercenaries' valley. The board of directors of YUME heard of Cú Ceat's reputation and asked her to come to Earth to teach. Cú Ceat accepted and travelled to Earth early to practice in that environment. When she arrived on Earth, she accidentally stumbled upon Sizer and upset Sizer's battle. Enraged, Sizer challenged Cú Ceat to a duel, stating that if either lost, their life was forfeit to the winner. Cú Ceat agreed and fought and won against Sizer. Impressed with Sizer's ability, Cú Ceat made Sizer promise to teach at YUME. Sizer agreed on the condition that if she ever fought and won against Cú Ceat, she would be able to return to her life.
