Apollina had been at the orphanage for about five months...she came from a foster home that was run by two elderly humans. She and two older boys were there when the home caught fire. Unfortunately, the two caretakers were killed, but the children escaped with only minor injury and effects from smoke inhalation. The two boys  were moved to a different foster home, but as there were not many available here on Adamante, Apollina came to the orphanage instead. But now her past is behind her and she now lives like a princess with her new mother and father. Her name means Gift from Apollo, as her mother believes she truely is a gift from the gods.
