OVERALL HISTORY

PRE-WAR: Zapp lived in Kaon before the fall of Cybertron. She was not able to get into any schools in her area, due to her refusal to be associated with the newly coined "Autobots." She really didn't care that much, most of Kaon's schools sucked anyway. Zapp spent a lot of time shadowing medics who'd let her. She saw quite a lot of bots who were banged up pretty bad. Mostly from rough fights in the gladiator pits.

Kaon has really high poverty levels, and many, many bots lived on the streets. When it was raining one evening, Zapp want to take a lengthy walk around the city and enjoy the cooler temperature. When roaming around one of the congested areas of the center of Kaon her attention was caught by shuffling in a messy allyway. Upon further investigation, Zapp discovered two young minicons. Zapp also scared the life out of the two, whoops! She took them in and cared for the two of them and they've been family since.

WARTIME: Zapp spends most of her time during the war messing with things she shouldn't be, almost dying, and ripping bots to shreds. She shares a habsuite with her three minicons and while it's a little crowded, she loves the cosiness of it. Zapp has grown friendly, to a degree, with her current crew and has taken favorite to Thundercracker. Being in the middle of space is unsurprisingly cold, quite different from Kaon's insufferable heat. It's very common for Zapp and her minicons to snuggle for warmth. Mostly to her minicons' benefit, as Zapp has a very nice heater.
