"My dad. He used to be a captain back during the war, and the doc was in the peace corps. After a few of my dad's friends got their limbs blown off, she helped them... Well not get back to the fighting, but not die. They kept in touch since then. After the war she continued to study and went from army surgeon to an orthotist. Admittedly, she did leave the peace corps after hearing that many of the old vets from the war were wasting away in civilian life, mostly due to their mutilations severely limiting their career options. Not everyone can afford proper replacement limbs after all, but she tried anyways. So yeah, she's a professional. An affordable, low budget professional who typically caters to veterans and victims of war."
Of course this was also leaving out the fact she left the peace corps because she went to join the White Fang.
Some of this stuff sort of bothers me. I was wondering if you could clarify. It sort of impacts how Sapphire'll take this information.
From my limited research (Hari might know more) a Peace Corps seems to be a type of relief unit that works in war torn areas to help the country recover. From what I can tell they wouldn't be active in countries they're homeland was currently at war with (sort of counter productive). Assuming this is the Faunus Civil Rights Wars we're talking about I'm not sure how to reconcile that cause the Faunus were at war with all four kingdoms. If the Doc was a faunus then shouldn't she just have been part of the war effort and (as I'm pretty sure is the case) if she's human then why were resources being wasted to help faunus recover? Even after the war the heads of administration wouldn't have had any particular caring for wounded faunus and during the war it seems to me that letting enemy combatants die would be preferable to using your own utilities to save their lives.
Regarding her involvement in the White Fang, up until five years ago they were a non violent protest group. You've stated she got out before that happened so presumably she worked with them before they radicalized. This would have been a time when everyone was still pretty discriminator so why would a faunus protest group welcome a human doctor. More importantly what exactly would a doctor's purpose in a protest group be?
