History: 377 - Aracely was born in Echmor on the 82nd of winter. A quick and easy birth, her mother was just happy she was not a boy. Aracely's father was delighted to have a healthy child, and knowing he was Selma's favorite of her harem boys, he would be able to watch his daughter grow-up from afar. 381 - Her Aunt Zelena, is brutally attacked and mutilated by one of her own slaves. The attack also mentally scared her, thus causing her slow decent into madness. The slave responsible was put to death. Aunt Zelena came to live with Aracely's family in their land home. Zelena was hardcore anti-male. Within only a few months Zelena had banished Selma's male Harem, including Aracely's father from the house. Roscoe did not take this well and began planning on how to secretly take his daughter and leave for Lysair. 382 - Ara's nursemaid was the person that took care of Aracely most of the time, as her mother was not fond of babies or young children. Selma only came around to judge and criticize her daughters imperfections, and choices. Living with a controlling, judgmental, and cold bitch of a mother, did not make for a happy childhood home. And her aunt Zelena becoming more psychotic as the months pasted was not helping the situation. Her oldest sister Keeley was the only person little Aracely would listen to, and so began Aracely's days as a brat. Happier times where spent outside the house picking wild flowers, singing, and swimming with Keeley, but those time were coming to an end as Keeley grew older and was not interested in hanging out with her little sister. 383 Winter - Aunt Zelena went on a deranged rampage through the house, and after setting fire to the curtains in her bedroom, she committed suicide by jumping off the cliff, into the jagged rocks below. Aracely and her sister Keeley were playing in the waves around the rocks, when Aunt Zelena's body slammed down in front of them. After the incident her father began to take action on his plan, having papers foraged, and so on. 383 Spring - Keeley was sent away to farther her education in Echmor's capital. Ara woke from nightmares practically every night after witnessing her aunts death, and with Keeley gone, she became lonely. For attention she began playing tricks on the servants in the house, and eavesdropping on her mothers guests. Selma took to her old promiscuous ways and stared up her little harem again, the rest of her time was spent lavishly spoiling herself, and parading her wealth in front of others. 383 Fall - In the middle of the night, Roscoe snuck in and took the sleeping Aracely from her bed. By the time anyone noticed she was missing, they were well on their way to Lysair. Her father told her that her mother had abandoned her to Roscoe. Being only six she didn't question it. Once they got to Lysair, her father obtained work as a Herbalist, and they lived frugally above a shop in a town called Farrisville 385 - Her father married a human woman named Leda Hill. Leda was one of the few who Roscoe told his secret story to, and they fell in love. Ara quite liked the woman and was happy to call her mom. Life was pleasant for the time being. 388 - Ara learned the truth from her father about how she came to live with him, she was furious for being lied to all these years, and when she found out that Leda knew everything, anger and betrayal was all she saw. She decided to runaway. Ending up in Norvale she found herself among the street urchins. Prideful and stubborn she didn't return to her father like most runaway children. Living day to day, finding a meal became the main thing on her mind. She made friends among the street people, and unsavory. She learned some new skills as a pickpocket. An older street-kid named Warren saw potential in Ara, so he took her under his wing and taught her about how certain people paid for secrets and information. Thus she started her education/training as a spy. 390 - Being quite talented and clever, Aracely made her way up the ranks of the little street gang of spies and thieves rather quickly. Warren became a brotherly figure to her, and he convinced her to forgive her father. Later in the year she found out her father had been searching for her since she ran away. She found him staying at a Inn in Norvale, looking ragged and tired. He wanted her to come home, but she explained that she had found her place here in Norvale. He went back to Farrisville, upset but understanding. 392 - Leda sent word to Aracely that her father passed away from the pox. Ara blamed herself in someways. Even though they had reconciled she still wished she had spent more time with him, and not been such a terrible daughter. She went back home to Farrisville for a short time, for the funeral, and to help her step-mother. When she got back to Norvale she had found that Warren had dissolved their little makeshift street family, as he had found a real job, and most of the others had moved on. She was fifteen and alone, so feeling dejected she sent a letter to her mother in Echmor. The letter explained among other things; that Aracely was in Lysair, and that Roscoe had died. 393 - She got a job as a barmaid at a place called 'Lazy Lantern Inn & Pub'. Through the help of the urchin network, and pass spy jobs she was able to set herself up as a 'spy for hire'. Her job at the Inn was mainly a cover, and gave people a means of contacting 'Ace the spy'. One only had to speak with the pretty barmaid named Aracely, and she would set you up with 'Ace'. Effectively pretending to be just a contact of 'Ace the spy for hire'.
