[ Her parents are far away. Long gone. She doesn't know if she would want to ever see them again anyway, especially her adoptive mother. She makes no comment as he tries to search for any parental guardians nearby. Being a new arrival, she's still trying to familiarize herself with others and their situation. There isn't really anyone keeping a look out for her.

My name's Fio. It's nice to meet you.
