Laria was "born" in Sydney, Australia, January 1st, 2141, her only "Parent" Henry Lawson, then a rising Scientist and ruthless businessman already in charge of the "Dharma Foundation", a company he had both founded and ran. One of Henry's earliest attempts at creating a "suitable" heir, Laria was put through several surgeries in an attempt to stabilise and enhance her Biotics when her abilities didn't manifest properly, on top of which her exotic appearance was not what Henry intended. When eight months of attempts to correct the issues surgically failed, Henry simply took a sample of her DNA for future reference and sold her to Batarian Slavers in 2157, after the First Contact War.
