Froleytia Capistrano was born into the noble Capistrano family, a lineage known for producing almost exclusively male heirs. As one of the rare female children born into the family, Froleytia was treated as a political asset from an early age. Her unique status made her a valuable bargaining chip for arranged marriages with powerful noble families that desired a male heir. By the time of the 37th Mobile Maintenance Battalion’s campaign against the Mass Driver Conglomerate, she had already accumulated over ten official marriage candidates, each carefully selected by her family for political gain.

In an effort to escape the constraints of noble tradition and delay the impending forced marriage, Froleytia joined the military at the age of 13, beginning her career as a child soldier. Over time, her skill and determination led to her promotion to Major, eventually granting her command of the 37th Mobile Maintenance Battalion of the Legitimacy Kingdom.

Prior to the events in Alaska, Froleytia had suffered four defeats as an Object commander three while directing operations remotely for other units, and one during a deployment with her own. Her eventual victory against the Water Strider in Alaska marked a significant turning point in both her leadership record and reputation.
