Gaige, Mechromancer class character. Her skill grants her the ability to control the D374-TP, or Deathtrap. Gaige was a high school student from the planet Eden-5, and lovingly supported in her endeavors by her parents, particularly her father. She would often ECHOcast live about what was going on in her life and had a dozen subscribers to her channel, although this dropped over time to two. Gaige found the history behind the Vaults, Eridium, and Pandora to be particularly fascinating, and considered her era to be "the most awesomely awesome time period in history" to be living in. She originally conceived Deathtrap, then called the Mechanized Anti-Bully Deterrent Test, or Project DT, as a science fair project to combat bullying. Her rival, Marcie Holloway, was a contestant in the science fair as well, and used her father's money to buy her way through the competition. After Gaige was inspired to amputate her left arm with a particle saw and replaced it with a robotic one she built, Marcie apparently stole Gaige's DT designs and sold them to Eden-5's corrupt police force. On the day of the science fair in the school auditorium, Marcie's father bribed the judges, helping her win first place with a defective robot based on Deathtrap's first or second revision blueprints. Gaige, with at least a fourth revision Deathtrap, placed third. Marcie then shoved Gaige, causing Deathtrap to identify her as a hostile. Deathtrap attacked with its digistruct claws, which unexpectedly caused her body to explode the moment her skin was touched, due to a miscalibration of the claws by Gaige, likely when she had added the discord circuits the night before. After the auditorium was cleaned up of Marcie's remains, the traumatized Gaige was escorted to the principal's office and faced expulsion and arrest for accidentally murdering her rival. She called her father to create a distraction to help her evade arrest.
