RAAVA RIXORE
04/01/1084 to ??/??/1144

Raava traveled to the capital in order to find a job so she could send money to her family almost thirty years ago. She found various odd jobs over the years like being a maid for random nobles, cleaning the streets, a store clerk, or washing dishes. One of those jobs, a waitress at DirkJakes, is where she met Valdeimos Mancini twenty years ago.

At first he was charming and friendly towards her, just how he was with everyone, but after a few weeks of working with him Raava could see right through him. He was truly cold and emotionally distant and enjoyed toying with people's feelings, including hers. Raava confronted him about it and Valdeimos dropped his sweet act around her, congratulating her on her discovery and never pretended to be nice to her again unless he was in public. She began to hate him, and she was sure Valdeimos hated her too for figuring him out. They bantered with each other when they ended up alone together but acted civil when around people. At some point they started to view this behavior as fun, Valdeimos especially because she was the only one who knew the true him. Then one day, she found out that Valdeimos' brother recently died, despite him not showing any feelings about it whatsoever. She managed to convince him it was okay to grieve and after awhile, he ended up crying on her shoulder over Valor's death.

After Valdeimos started opened up to her, Raava noticed he started looking at her differently when he thought she wasn't paying attention. While he acted mostly the same, she could tell there were subtle differences in how he treated her, such as more sincere smiles and more playful teasing. The two of them became much closer as the months passed and started unofficially dating. They never talked about their relationship, never mentioned it to other people, and didn't call each other lovers but they pretty much acted like it despite their denial. They got along well for about a year, but they started to get into fights from petty arguments to serious issues. Raava really despised that Valdeimos did not want to truly to commit to her, to tell his family about her, even admit that he was her boyfriend. She felt he was ashamed to have feelings for a poor wizard peasant and after a huge fight about it, she quit her job at the restaurant and told Valdeimos she never wanted to see him again. A few days later, she received a message from her family that her grandmother passed away from old age, so she decided to leave the city right away. She left only a letter explaining she was leaving the city and that it was goodbye for good, then left. It was painful for Raava but her family and herself meant more to her than Valdeimos.

It takes months to reach her hometown from the city on foot, which is how she traveled, and by the time she realized she was pregnant it was too late for her to turn back. Raava decided to stay with her family in her hometown, since they had saved a decent amount of money from what she earned working, and raise the child by herself. She still sent a letter to Valdeimos (her family could not afford a phone) telling him of their child, but Raava never received a response. Valdeimos, when he received the letter, never opened it because he was still angry at her and burned it instead. Since she did not know that he never learned about their daughter, she assumed he wanted nothing to do with them, and never contacted him again.
