Lola was born the 8th child out of 12 children. Her family was so poor her parents sent her to work in a gun/ ammunition factory. She worked there from the age of six on the graveyard shift. One horrible night she was sweeping loose shells on the floor when a man broke into the factory to steal a bunch of rifles. Six year old Lola snuck into a crate full of pistols, loaded, and fired a single shot square between his eyes. The workers at the factory loved Lola, but the villagers were all superstitious and Lola was dammed because she was a mere child, but had shot a man straight in the head and did not hesitate for a second. Lola was persecuted and driven out of town. She traveled to find people who would embrace her power and not damn her for it. It was in Ireland, when her wish was granted and she joined forces with the Femme Fianna.
