==Biography==
==Biography==
Samus started out as a young girl on the mining colony of [[K-2L]] with her parents [[Rodney Aran]] and [[Virginia Aran]]. When she was three years old, her hometown was visited by the [[Chozo]], a bird-like race. They came in peace, and Samus immediately found a kindred spirit in a Chozo elder named [[Old Bird]]. The two became close and built up a deep and warm friendship.
===Three Year Old Samus===
[[File:3 Year Old Samus.png|left|80px|Three year old Samus]]
Samus started out as a young girl on the mining colony of [[K-2L]] with her parents [[Rodney Aran]] and [[Virginia Aran]]. When she was three years old, her hometown was visited by the [[Chozo]], a bird-like race, in search of the planet's [[Afloraltite]]. They came in peace, and Samus immediately found a kindred spirit in a Chozo elder named [[Old Bird]]. This Chozo taught Samus that befriending and understanding others can be used to solve problems. She uses this philosophy to befriend [[Pyonchi]], a {{wp|rabbit}}-like creature and it remains Samus's companion through many years. The Chozo left K-2L empty-handed the same day they landed.


Much to Samus's dismay, a [[Space Pirate]] flagship landed on the innocent colony and a raid ensued, led by none other than the dragon-like bioform [[Ridley]]. Samus's three-year old mind could not comprehend the nature of violence, and assumed Ridley was a visitor, and asked him if they could become friends. Feeling humiliated and embarrassed in front of his unit, Ridley made a strike to ultimately kill Samus. Just as any mother would protect her kin, Virginia got in the way of the strike and suffered a fatal blow. Rodney also sacrificed himself to destroy the Space Pirate flagship. Ridley deserted the scene, but one mistake was left under all the dust of the battle; the mistake was indeed Samus Aran, the only survivor of the attack. After her mourning sorrows, she vowed to have her revenge on Ridley.

Samus's three-year old mind could not comprehend the nature of violence, and assumed Ridley was a visitor, and asked him if they could become friends. Feeling humiliated and embarrassed in front of his unit, Ridley made a strike to ultimately kill Samus. Just as any mother would protect her kin, Virginia got in the way of the strike and suffered a fatal blow. Rodney also sacrificed himself to destroy the Space Pirate flagship by igniting a large amount of Afloraltite. Ridley deserted the scene after the Afloraltite exploded and was unable to kill Samus, leaving her the only survivor of the attack.


When all hope for a young Samus seemed to be lost, Old Bird and the rest of the Chozo came to her aid. The Chozo voyagers brought Samus to their home planet, [[Zebes]]. Unfortunately, [[Mother Brain]] predicted that Samus's frail body could not withstand harsh life in Zebes. The Chozo hoped to evade this problem by infusing her with Chozo blood and giving her the [[Power Suit]], a bio-mechanical suit with many weapons and functions, thus giving birth to the powerful bounty hunter popularly known in today's [[Metroid (series)|Metroid franchise]]. For several years in grueling training, Samus was taught by the Chozo their culture and their ways of battle. As a teenager, her physical attributes far surpassed those of a regular humans. However, when the time came, Samus left the Chozo to join the [[Galactic Federation]], a organization created to bring justice in the regions of space.

The Chozo returned to K-2L after receiving a distress signal sent by K-2L's colonists immediately before the attack. Old Bird and Grey Voice found the lone survivor and the Chozo voyagers brought Samus to their home planet, [[Zebes]]. [[Mother Brain]], a sentient organic robot created by the Chozo, predicted that Samus's frail body could not withstand harsh life in Zebes. The Chozo hoped to evade this problem by infusing her with Chozo blood and giving her the [[Power Suit]], a bio-mechanical suit with many weapons and functions, thus giving birth to the powerful bounty hunter popularly known in today's [[Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' franchise]].
