Satya means honest, her parents named her aptly. Satya, identified problems in herself and others and spoke of them fearlessly. In a regressive slum, that was hardly the way to go. The girl was very lucky to have been plucked out of unfortunate circumstances and gifted with the resources and intelligence to change these situations for others. Unfortunately, what she was blessed with in survival instinct, she lacked in wisdom. Satya was easily manipulated into working for a money mongering company, that seeks to blanket the problems instead of solving them.
History:
When she was younger, she made no attempt to fit into the lifestyle of a slum dweller. Even though she possessed just a corner in the house, it was the cleanest most sparkling corner in the entire establishment. Satya hated the stench of her surroundings, she hated reeking of helplessness. She was often teased by the other kids her age, they'd delibrately splash in muck when she was around, simply to see her react when some of it splashed onto her. Later she'd get a beating by her mother for wasting the limited water resource on scrubbing and sanitising herself for the millionth time in the day.
She was not the only child, she had several siblings, which was how India's slums worked. Satya's father was never to be found after a skirmish during the omnic crisis, and since she was the oldest child it fell onto her to take care of the family. She was about to drop out of her education, which was a laugh anyway, since public schools were severely unkempt where she came from. But Satya had been working hard on her own, and she did so well that she was picked up by the Vishkar organisation.
Little did she know, these people were on a hunt to pick up and brainwash people with inventive inclinations and to make them do their bidding. Since Vishkar was her saviour an indebted Satya could see no wrong with them, even when it was glaringly obvious. She made the most ingenious products, using skills she learnt with them and inherent ancient knowledge from old Indian practices.
In Rio, the corporation sought to establish a new dwelling, but was opposed by the mayor who had already signed a contract with Vishkar's competition. She was charged with her first mission, to eliminate the threat of Calado, the competition. Satya learned her way around the town with the help of a young slum dweller, also of similar leanings like her. Unfortunately, she approached the mission in a much softer manner than what Vishkar had hoped, she failed and was surprised to find Calado reduced to smoldering ashes within a matter of a few days... Unfortunately, Satya found that the young girl who had guided her was also perished, since her slum was very near the Calado foundation... It was the first time Satya questioned her deeds, but her thoughts were quickly shut down by the leader of Vishkar.
His words even sounded threatening and Satya realised that she was reckoning with a force much bigger than herself. She swore to never speak of any of this again and chose only to see the brighter side of things, knowing that anything other than that, could cost her her life. She earned the name Symmetra and went on covet mission after mission. Using her ability to harness the power of light for the good of the people, in direct ways and in more shady ways by eliminating those that were a threat to the Vishkar corporation. Till she didn't have a way out, this would be the reality that she would accept as true...
