Biography
The Myth of Project M
Although having been called Project M, her origins are unknown. Anything indicating that she even exists has been deleted. She was called Project M due to different old signatures showing that she must have been part of something. Nothing further is known. There are no files about her Identity and no files about where she was built or manufactured. Yet, it is clearly visible that she is a Exo. What is her story?
Early Life
During the years someone would call their childhood, Mercedes didn't have a good time. Among a small poor group, she lived on the streets. Two strangers were sharing their food, water and their sleeping places with her so the kid wouldn't have to live too bad. They were trying to give her a normal life as good as possible, considering the conditions for living on the streets at least. Although being a Exo, they were trying to give Mercedes the chance to live a normal life like any other human. She had to learn the hard way that life isn't always fair for everyone. Although there were the foundations and groups that tried to support everyone, they may not reach everyone. To be in a school like others at her age wasn't possible, no one really tried to give Mercedes a chance except for the strangers she was living with. She didn't know who she really was, where she comes from and if she has parents.
For Mercedes, the strangers that raised her for about the first five to seven years of her life, they were more then just strangers. They were family and friends. One day, Guards paid them a visit. It was not on good terms as the two persons were forced to go with them. Mercedes never was allowed to know the reasons. She was also taken with the Guards as they considered letting a kid back on the streets to care for herself isn't a option. It was that day when a family was asked to take care of her, a woman with her man who was a retired Guardian, and their two children. Until today, Mercedes kept all the experiences and memories of the strangers and is thankful for everything they taught her until then.
Young Years at the Last City
She lived in the Last City. A family has taken her in and cared for her. Months passed as she learned to live and survive on her own. She read a lot of books, examined Humans and their behaviours and studied them. She also studied the Last Citys history and kept all her knowledge. She didn't stay for long. Mercedes already developed interest into exploring and scouting activities and locations. Although she wasn't allowed to leave her home for her own safety, she would often sneak away to go and see new things, studying nature and the cycle of life. It was one day when a Titan walked through the streets and she became curious. When she spoke to him, he revealed himself to be the Titan Saint-14, one of the most famous Titans in the history of the Last City. This was her first interaction with a Lightbearer and although he didn't rescue her life, she gifted him with a piece of her brown cape. It probably didn't fit the ribbons he was collecting from those he saved, but she persisted him to take it. After this, she grew more interested into the Light and the Guardians. She was always requesting to know what that big round thing, known as The Traveler, was but whyever, no one would tell her. That's when she decided to start working on her own, intelligent as she was, trying to get more experiences and knowledge away from her living place.
