After learning she was from Tusk (due to the sharp protrusions on her shoulders), Roya left Templar to find her real parents. After arriving in Tusk, she discovered that her father was a Tuskan Lord. Her father believed that Roya will kill him because of a prophecy. As a result, he attempts to have Roya executed. It is also at this time that Roya encounters her mother, who saved Roya when she was a child, but died in the process. Before her death, she transferred her soul into her killer in order to protect Roya, resulting in the killer and the mother sharing a body. Zed tracks Roya down and, with the help of Ginga, manages to rescue her, but not before the death of both her parents.
