[b]Background:[/b] Narina's past is rather complicated. Though she identifies as coming from Renais, she was born in Jehanna. Narina left Jehanna with her mother when she was three and remembers little of her familial home in Jehanna. What little she does remember is a blurred or has been blocked out by her subconscious. Narina does remember that her father was once a gambling man and not a good one at that. There were many times that her father would come home with an empty purse or in debt. It was only a matter of time before he got in debt to the wrong people. Fortunately, Narina can not for the life of her recall any of the many times when her Father came back home with broken bones or black eyes. Eventually, her mother decided that it was time to leave. Narina can recall the the she, her mother, and brothers all left for Renais while her father was out gambling. She even remembers his shouts for them, almost as if he thought they had been abducted.

With Jehanna behind her, Narina was finally able to see the light at the end of the figurative tunnel. Renais was a kind home to Narina's family as he brothers easily found jobs as field hands and her mother worked  in the village by washing clothes. At night, Narina use to sit with her mother and look at the stars as she braided her hair. "One day," her mother said once, "you will achieve great things Narina. You might not know it yet but you will change the world." Those very same words would later become the beginning of many arguments between the two. As time went on, Narina realized her position in the world. She was a woman who would be raised to be the perfect wife for a man. But that was not the life she wanted for herself.

Narina would follow her brothers when they snuck out at night and watch them train with wooden swords. She would watch them until they left but would not follow. When she was sure they were gone, Narina would pick up the lightest of the swords and try to mimic their movements as they trained. She would  continue trying to learn the movements until she felt as if her arms would fall off, then she would keep going. One night, her eldest brother, Kirk, noticed that she wasn't asleep in her bed and decided to go out looking for her. That was when he found her at the training grounds. Kirk simply watched from a short distance away as Narina slashed the blade at an imaginary foe and then move as if parrying a blow. While Narina was resting from a bout of training, Kirk approached her behind and simply stated "Your slashes are slow and clunky while your parries are easy to deflect." 

Narina was shocked by her brother's appearance and quite simply stated that she wasn't being serious. Kirk scoffed at her as he grabbed her sword and another sword. "If you weren't serious, you wouldn't be here at this time of night." Kirk said as he threw her sword towards her and took a defensive stance with a sword. Narina knew that he wanted test her so she attacked him only to find herself planted in the dirt with his sword's tip at her throat. "Stop hiding when we train, from now on you shall participate." Kirk stated as he walked back home. Narina followed a few hours later after some more training.

Though reluctant to train with her brothers, Narina was happy that Kirk was actually willing to work with her. For nearly six years, Kirk and Narina would spare at night and Narina was surprised to actually find herself improving. But, all good thigns eventually come to an end. Kirk had been noticed by a knight when he took up a sword against some bandits and, after survivng the battle, was asked to become the knight's squire. Kirk accepted and Narina was left without a sparing partner. Yet, Narina did not give up her training. When Narina was twenty years of age, her mother had decided to arrange a marriage with a moderately wealthy merhcant for Narina. Narina denied the marriage and said, in the nicest way possible, "I am not going to marry some fool just because you wish me to. It is not the greatness I see for myself to be married to him." 

With that, Narina left her mother and two brothers alone by running away from Renais. Narina had no particular destination in mind but just kept walking until she could walk no more. As if by destiny, Narina had walked straight into a village which her brother Kirk happened to be in. The newly promoted Kirk was surprised to see Narina but did not press her on the reason for being there. Instead, Kirk provided her with the job of caravan guard along with a light sword for protection. Narina was grateful for her brother's kindness and thanked him and she and the caravan rode off to markets in Grado. For once, things were going Narina's way... of course that was before Jehenna invaded Grado.
