That was her life for the next long while. As time went on, she found herself becoming more and more animalistic and primal. She began hunting, heeding her instincts as a predator and preying on the wild animals of the island and avoiding the manimal villages. If the others were anything like the one she had met when she was first on the island, there was no guarantee she would survive a second encounter. She came to understand her instincts and honed them, coming to be one of the top predators on the island. But that was all she was; a predator. Whispered legends of the Big Cat would spread through the island, and she was seen as the harbinger of death on the island. And it scared her. Years passed. Constant fear and anger gnawed at her sanity, and she knew she had to escape the island. That the only way she would grow and advance was to return to the world she had been born into. But how would she get to the mainland? She was no shipbuilder, and she didn't even know where 'here' was. For all she knew, this world was nothing but a giant ocean and the one island. That all changed when VIPER arrived. There were humans clad in yellow and green now, building strongholds and hunting manimals as if they were common beasts. And a ship; a strange metal tube that traveled under the waters. That was her ticket; that was her way off the island.
Getting on board the submarine was easy; she had learned to be patient and calm while hunting or stalking prey. She wouldn't need to worry about getting caught entering the sub. She just needed to stay hidden. She put herself inside a box in place of some guns that had been checked but not sealed and waited. She poked holes in the box so she could breathe and felt herself get hoisted by some machine and loaded on board. When the movement stopped, she peered through one of the holes. It was too dark for a human to see, but she wasn't a human. There were a lot of boxes out there, and a few... smelled good. She waited until she could feel the craft move and she worked her way out of the box. Some food stores would keep her fed and watered while the sub went wherever it was going. It worked well for a week, but just before they got where they were going, she was found out. The crewman panicked and hit the alarm. Before she could really react, armed men were storming into the storeroom. Now she was panicking, which wasn't good. She ran past them as they shot at her, leaving behind a trail of blood that might not have been entirely hers. She couldn't tell in the confusion. She pushed through a door that was getting smaller by the second and was in a large area for storing vehicles. She hid behind a HUMVEE and waited, trying to calm herself. She suddenly felt her side and her breast press into the vehicle and she knew it wasn't working anymore. Not that it had ever worked to begin with.
She was found quickly; eyes were everywhere, and those eyes had guns. It was a horrible cycle that only got worse as time went on. The more the soldiers panicked the more they fired, and the more they fired the more they used bigger weaponry, and that in turn caused Felicia herself to panic more, making her even larger. The guns stung and made her bleed, and the loud noises and bright flashes disoriented her. And finally , the bigger she got, the more the soldiers panicked. There was no point in staying here; the more she grew, the easier it was for them to hit her. No telling what doomsday weapon they would bring out to contain her if she waited too long to escape. She had only one choice; claw her way out through the wall and hope they weren't abysmally deep. It wasn't hard for the woman to do; the bulkheads were meant for keeping pressure out, not in. The giant feline's claws made quick work of the metal and soon the outer hull caved inwards in a torrent of water. She forced her way through the deluge and escaped the submarine as it was claimed to the deep. She paddled until she got to the surface. There was a sudden surge from some explosion deep underwater and the girl knew she had to leave. Glimmering off less than a mile away was a city. That would be where she escaped to. That would be where she hid. But that is a tale for another day.

Relationships
Wife: Kamineh the Unbound
Felicia's wife is an unbound djinn (known as a genie in a more westernized setting) named Kamineh the Unbound. The two are bonded through a series of wishes so utterly that they will be together, and a part of each other, until the end of time. They are able to pass thoughts between each other freely and can even sense when the other is injured or in distress, sharing in the emotions of the other as if they were their own.
Friends/Allies
Inari
Inari is Free Lynx's alternate universe counterpart from the Praetorian Universe that directly mirrored Primal Earth. They are good friends, and consider each other to be sisters.
Sammy
Sammy is a bioengineered slime girl the color of crimson who was designed to be a drug to turn average people into supersoldiers by making them bigger and stronger. Somewhere along the lines, she developed sentience and life and escaped the lab she was made in. She needed a body to grow and learn, and although she found a braindead one to use, there wasn't sufficient lifeforce to fuel her growth, so she stagnated for several weeks until Lynx offered to become her host. Now in Lynx's body, she applies her designed effects to Lynx, making her bigger and stronger the more she pushes her limits.
Enemies
Free Lynx has no major enemies.
General Perception
Free Lynx has mixed opinions. On one hand, those she saves or befriends know who she is and think highly of her, even if she is a bit simple. On the other she is similar enough to Lynx of the Brain Trust that she is often mistaken for her, with legal authorities and even other superheroes trying to bring her in for the deeds of her counterpart.
Comments from other Heroes

"Lynxie is just the best! She's definitely someone I will never forget for as long as I live. Definitely, without a doubt is she deadly, useful in a fight. While I think she can reach even greater heights, and the greater focus it could grant her, she is definitely a true feline warrior. I... I think it's safe to say that she's honestly one of my best friends. She has so much potential, and I know for a fact her life is still ahead. She has a way of expressing her confidence... her loyalty. She's such an inspiring person... and for that, she'll go far." - Violet Salvo
