Bian My was the mother of Lady Trieu.
Biography
Bian My was born in a small village in Vietnam. Growing up she had to endure the onslaught of the Vietnam War and the war crimes that were committed by Doctor Manhattan and the United States military. In 1971, the Comedian and his military unit, the Blazin' Commandos, burned her village to the ground and was forced to go on a death march. Following America's victory in the war, she nearly became a victim of the purge sweeps that were committed afterwards until Adrian Veidt stepped in and took in her and several Viet Cong refugees as servants to Karnak, Antarctica.[1][2][3]
Bian worked a cleaning woman for Veidt, but she would eventually grow resentful of her employer. Over the years, she would study Veidt while keeping a low-profile waiting for the right moment to defy her employer.
In November 1st, 1985, Bian broke into Veidt's personal study, entered his passcode, and received access to his supply of scientifically preserved semen. Wanting to create a child to undermine the man, Bian artificially inseminated herself, cursing Veidt as she did so. Afterwards, Bian disappeared. Veidt didn't even notice neither his cleaning woman nor the vial missing.[3]
In July 1986, Bian had a daughter who would later be named Trieu, a name she allowed her daughter to choose when she was five years old. Having ambitions for her daughter to become the smartest woman in the world, Bian trained Trieu with tough love and by constantly challenging her. Bian pushed Trieu hard to become "the world's smartest woman, brighter than a sky full of stars, a redemptive blessing to the world planet." Her methods included isolation, tough love, "enhanced transcendental meditation", and according to Trieu's former tutor in psychic combat, a "Duel to the Death on multiple planes of existence, corporeal and mental." Though her methods could be seen as cold, they were successful, and Trieu became a successful genius.
Bian wrote a memoir about raising a child prodigy entitled (rough English translation) Pachyderm Mom, which became a bestseller in Vietnam and in the commonwealths of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Burma.[1]
Eventually, when Trieu was an adult, Bian died. However, Trieu, having become one of the leading experts in genetic cloning and wanting to continue to impress her mother with her accomplishments yet to come, cloned Bian and raised her as her own daughter, reintegrating the original Bian's memories into the young girl while she slept with Trieu's experimental drug Nostalgia.[4]
