According to our investigation, this area was often affected by Catastrophes, rendering the land barren and unproductive. Unable to make a living or work the land, many locals have no choice but to provide their labor to prospective employers, and with high enough compensation, are willing to do almost anything. The tenuous grasp of Columbian authorities over this remote region has led to a chronic lack of proper policing, resulting in this area gaining notoriety as a chaotic and lawless land. Cutter, who grew up under such an environment, chose to stake out her own lot in life to support herself like so many of her peers; but unlike many, she also established a set of rules to abide by, dictating what she would and would not do. - Archive File 2: On a normal day, this mercenary from a chaotic land is quite at ease and can even be described as being in a daze. This characteristic is particularly evident after she has spent some time basking in the sun, a state that couldn't be more different from when she wields her blade on the battlefield. In addition, it's worth mentioning that Cutter also has a baffling fondness for cooking, given that her results are often far from satisfactory. After a string of incidents such as accidentally eviscerating a cutting board, causing the fire alarm to go off after stewing unknown substances, and causing the toaster to explode, the Operators who frequently utilize the kitchen petitioned to restrict her access to the facility, resulting in her being banned. Even those most empathetic to the dejected Cutter still unanimously praised the ban. - Archive File 3: Through our investigation, we've determined the following to be Operator Cutter's personal code of conduct: 1. Never kill innocents. 2. Never participate in fraud or the trafficking of persons. 3. If a bystander suffers losses to property during the task, then appropriate compensation must be paid afterwards.
As a result of these constraints, Cutter makes a lot less money than those who are far less skilled than she is, and this has complicated her living situation. Despite that, she never compromised or abandoned her code. One might surmise that this was a product of her chaotic environment, or perhaps due to a certain teacher she references in conversation. According to Cutter, her teacher was a wandering swordsman who traveled the world. This teacher not only raised her after her parents died fighting on the streets, but also taught her how to wield a blade. Under this person's tutelage, Cutter did not get swallowed by the lawlessness and wanton violence that claimed so many of her fellow villagers; instead, she became the principled mercenary that she is today. Cutter's teacher quietly left after confirming that she could be self-sufficient, only leaving behind the pendant that now hangs around her neck - a carved protective charm that she cherishes immensely. - Archive File 4: [Classified Log] After investigation, we found that the armed clash that took the lives of Cutter's parents was caused by the interruption of a local gang's illegal transactions. This damage to their interests triggered immediate retaliation against the interrupting party, dragging in many uninvolved residents. Many people were killed as a result, including Cutter's parents. Later eyewitness accounts from those who were present at the time testified that the actual instigators of the gang violence were not locals, but rather people they had never seen before.
