Backstory:
Daughter of Gaia and Uranus, One of the first Twelve Children born from them, Titaness, and Consort of Cronus. Rhea may have not been the most powerful of her siblings and half-siblings, but she was not to be so easily thought of as weak. If only she thought of herself that way with the events that would transpire after Cronus attacked their father.
He learned that like he had done to Uranus, Cronus would be overthrown by one of his own sons, and Cronus was determined to not let it happen. Rhea had to watch as each of her children as soon as they were born be devoured whole by her brother and husband, which strained her mind in turn also with the growing insanity by Cronus. Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon... A true mother could never forget the names of her children.
However, with the sixth child, Rhea would not let it happen again. She conspired with Gaia to save the last child and to get retribution for what Cronus did for his acts against Uranus and their siblings. It was in Crete that she gave birth to her last son, Zeus, who in turn was raised by a nymph, Adamanthea, and Gaia, while she gave Cronus a simple stone in clothing who only devoured it whole as he did 5 times before.
It was thanks to Zeus years later that the rest of Rhea's children were vomited up and saved by him, fully grown and ready to wage war, to which the Titanomachy took place. The titans were defeated, and many of them were imprisoned deep into Tartarus, though a select few including Rhea were spared.
Rhea's time was done as the age of Titans passed and the now newly named Olympians took their place. She watched as her children took over and keep the balance so needed after such a devastating war. Even though she didn't fight directly and only healed her children and their allies as needed, she had had enough of war and such events. So, she hid herself away in Crete, though not too far so she could see her children if need be.
However, after many centuries past, many seemed to forget the stories of such things, and no thanks to some mortals who were foreign to the island that she found herself having to flee. A group of mortals found her little hideaway and attacked, thinking her to be some sort of monster, or a witch? She couldn't figure it out while fleeing. She bled heavily from a now scarred eye, chest, and legs as she made way for the mainland. The wounds healed but she would never be the same.
Rhea took the clothes of mortals and hid herself as an old hag, trying to stay low as she looked for somewhere safe. She couldn't go to her children, she didn't want them to worry and they had their own problems. Many of her siblings that still roamed the mortal plane could not help, and there was no way in hell she would find shelter with Cronus. She would never go near him again.
So, she fled Greece for the country of Gaul, though, she was shell-shocked to see how much the outside world had changed, and Gaul was now called France. An interesting place it was now, and the city of Paris was a sight to behold. But in a strange place, you needed shelter and somewhere you could be accepted, so it was with the Rogues as a Medic that she found it.

Notes: Rhea, as a Titan and a rather old being, does have access to magic, but it is limited due to old age (and possibly due to injury). Her main magic is Nature, which is summoned through her left arm, and other magic through her right arm though it isn't as strong. The nature magic does backfire and cause her injury if used too long or too much too quickly. Her healing magic is probably stronger than her nature magic, but it still has its drawbacks and can drain her if used too much.
