Hara was a competitive ballroom dancer, but her partner betrayed her by telling her community they were lovers. It led to a cascade of aggravation and punishment from her community, and when it came out that he was sleeping with her omega best friend, he was congratulated for getting one of the rare ones, and both of her besties discarded Hara.
She didn't know what to do and had to leave her family and friends to start over. So, she did. She ends up as a housekeeper in a pride of friendly feline alphas with their two omegas. She occasionally doubles as Ford's assistant. She ends up stunt-dancing, and that spurs Ford to find her alpha. She has a very specific adaptation, and it needs a very specific alpha.
A meeting in a museum sends her across the world and to an island that doesn't greet her warmly. It's all right; she's a treasure to any who meets her, and eventually, she starts to believe it.
