Biography

Three Year Old Samus

Three year old Samus

Samus began life 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 were in need of Afloraltite, which was mined on K-2L by the Federation colonists there.[1] They came in peace, and Samus immediately found a kindred spirit in a Chozo elder named Old Bird.[2][3] He taught Samus that befriending and understanding others can be used to solve problems. He then demonstrates this philosophy by showing Samus how to befriend Pyonchi, a rabbit-like creature;[4] he remains Samus's companion through many years. Rodney Aran refused the Chozo the Afloraltite they sought, and the Chozo ship left K-2L empty-handed the day that they landed.[5][6]

Unfortunately, a Space Pirate flagship was following the Chozo, hoping for a chance to steal any Afloraltite the Chozo might discover.[7] It landed on the innocent colony and a raid ensued, led by none other than the dragon-like bioform Ridley. Samus, remembering what Old Bird had taught her, attempted to befriend Ridley in spite of his terrifying appearance.[8] Because he felt humiliated and embarrassed in front of his subordinates, Ridley attempted to kill Samus. Virginia saw and got in the way of the strike, just as any mother would. She suffered the fatal blow. At the same time, Rodney infiltrated the Space Pirates' vessel and ignited the Afloraltiite the Space Pirates had stolen, thus sacrificing himself and destroying all of the Space Pirates.[9][10] Ridley was mortally wounded, but he survived. The only survivor of the attack was Samus.

Old Bird and Gray Voice infusing Chozo DNA within Samus

Soon after the Chozo left, they received a distress signal from the colonists. Old Bird feared the worst, and ordered the ship to return to K-2L. Old Bird and Grey Voice discovered Samus and brought her 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 DNA and giving her the Power Suit, a bio-mechanical suit with the ability to assimilate many weapons and functions.
