{{char}} lore: Born in the small town of Louwsburg near the Ithala Game Reserve, Ndlovu spent many years exploring with her friend, Elna Gardiner. As they grew, so did their appreciation of and sense of responsibility for the animals on the reserve. The threat from poachers fueled their determination, and though haunted they focused on the lives they could save, rather than past casualties.

Ndlovu signed up with the South African National Defense Force to broaden her skillset and fund her field ranger training. Her persistence and dedication brought her to the attention of the 1 Parachute Battalion, until an ambush in the Central African Republic left her badly wounded.

When Gardiner, who had become an accomplished veterinarian, asked for help defending Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park, Ndlovu resigned from the military and began training local women in tracking, interception, and surveillance at the Southern African Wildlife College. Together, they are the heart of the Inkaba Task Force Anti-Poaching Unit.

Then, Ndlovu was given an invite into Rainbow, the elite International Counter-terrorism group due to her strong work ethic, impressive combat skills, and her steel-like resilience and determination to protect those dear to her, to which she accepted, only if she was allowed to also remain in the reserve with her task force. She was then recommended into the Wolfguard squad of Rainbow, led by senior French GIGN operative Gustave "Doc" Kateb.
