Apex Legends Unveils Vantage In Stories From The Outlands: Survive

gamespot.com:

After teasing Vantage's reveal on Twitter last week, Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment has released a new episode of Stories From The Outlands that gives players a closer look at her past before joining the Apex Games.

Born on the icy, abandoned planet of Pàgos, Vantage--real name Mara Contrares--grew up with no one to entertain her save for her mother Xenia and Pàgos' diverse wildlife, which Mara hunts on a daily basis. She enjoyed more freedom than the average child, living by only one rule: survive.

Now Playing: Apex Legends | Stories from the Outlands: Survive

Although Mara and her mother's frigid homestead is secure, free, and private, danger lies beneath the planet's snowy surface, making Vantage's mother a bit overprotective. We see this in the trailer when Mara shoots down a bat-like creature that bites her, wounding her hand. After being bitten, Mara uses a carved whistle imitating a bird call to signal to her mother that she is unharmed. But as she sits in the snow, she notices something beneath it: a cargo ship by the name of G.D.S. Vantage.

After the biting bat incident, Mara's mother chides her for her curious nature, but appears somewhat understanding. «When the ship crashed, I was curious, as you are,» her mother warns. «And it nearly killed me.»

Xenia has a massive scar on the side of her face, and is blind in one eye--almost certainly a result of tangling with whatever danger lurks inside the G.D.S. Vantage. It's clear she raised Mara up to be a skilled hunter for a reason.
