Backstory: Her older brother Leek had left home when he turned 18, hoping to seek his fortune himself. Onion, therefore, remained behind with her parents, though she greatly missed him. As time went on, she began putting on weight, and started encountering bullies at school. When she turned 13, she met Turbo, a fox 8 years her senior, but who intrigued her when she witnessed him during a repair job. Upon asking both him and her parents, it was agreed that he would apprentice her in repairs and mechanics, and the two have since gained a close friendship.
