Early Life
Military Career
While initially believed to be too young to serve, she was nonetheless recruited after an Erebonian officer gave his account on what he saw during Hart's rifling abilities. The officer, Captain John Keith, recalled in an interview during the war:
"During the early years of the war, Hart was only 14 when she discovered that her parents had been killed by Imperial troops invading Southern Erebonia. Wanting to avenge their deaths, she immediately picked up her father's rifle that was hung on their wall and loaded it with one charging clip of 5-rounds. She waited for her moment until her parents killers were distant enough. She opened fired after the jerries were about 500 metres. She was able to pick them off within 30 seconds. I checked the dead bodies of jerries before I proceeded to come to her while shouting "Don't Shoot. I'm an Erebonian Officer.". The child ran and came to me crying after dropping his father's rifle. I decided to take the custody of the child until I returned her to her elder brother serving in the army."
