The daughter of Angelica and Enrique Velasquez, Arizhel was born on Earth in 2977. Before she was six years old, it became clear that she was gifted with remarkable musical talent. Because of this fact, her parents made the move to Sivad. Of course, this involved considerable risk, as the Solar Consortium wasn't any more keen on their people leaving than they were on outsiders coming in. After making the necessary arrangements with an opportunistic ship's crew, the Velasquez family was smuggled out of the system.
