Does anyone have an idea or two they could toss my way for this? Because like I said on the last thread, I'm kinda married to the whole cyber-arms bit. Here in Australia not that long ago, there was a little girl savagely attacked by a normal dog. She would have been about 7 at the time. The dog attack was so bad that she had to have her right arm amputated just below the elbow. They ran a news segment about a week ago on how much she has recovered, including participating in swimming carnivals again.

How many cybernetic arms do you want? The two of them? Well, perhaps you can borrow from the little girl's story; don't have any Grimm attack or anything, just have her be attacked by a mad dog. It attacked one arm first, did major major damage to it, and she automatically tried to push it away with her other arm which led to it switching targets until an adult rescued her. It wouldn't take that long; she could have been playing out in the backyard of her village while her mum was inside doing the vacuuming or something that would explain why her mum didn't rush out at the first sound of screams.

The dog can be killed, because no one wants a mad dog running around the wilderness - it's bad enough with the Grimm running around - and she can lose her arms to a tragic accident that is not Grimm related and is a thing that can happen in real life. Then she can have a psychological fear of normal dogs to play with if you wanted, but her desire to become a Huntress can be from before the dog attack and she was determined to stick with it.
