Her Father was a Hume blacksmith and former soldier, while her mother was an Eldian immigrant from Kimura. They were rather poor and lived in a section of the city that reflected that. Despite this she grew up happy and well cared for. When she was old enough her father began training her with a sword to protect herself and she excelled at it learning everything he taught her very quickly. Seeing an opportunity in her ability to give her a better life. He took her up to the Paladin Order of Thorne and enlisted her. Though she was hesitant at first she grew to enjoy all she learned and she continued to excel at combat. There she made a handful friends and though she didn't climb the ranks quickly she was well liked by most people. After a few years though she was unsatisfied with just learning Holy Blade and began searching for more to learn. She soon found a few books on the Dark Blade and began teaching herself in secret as the Order looked down on it. She was caught a year later and was dismissed from the order. She left with no objections and began wandering the country. Eventually she ran into a mercenary group with all kinds of swordsman and joined with them. Over the years she learned as much from the others in the group learning more about Holy and Dark Blade and learning Spellblade and Bushido though she was far more skilled with the former two. After a few years she struck out on her own again as a lone sellsword. She spent about a year in her mothers homeland of Kimura under one of the more popular Warlords before moving on to Calestani. She settled down and lived there for the last three years finding well off merchant to work for. Due to recent events however she feels she needs to leave and move on. Knowing that the festival was coming up she decided to head to Thorne to visit her family, try to find a couple of old friends, and maybe even take part in the tourney while she was there. She got herself hired as protection for a merchant on his way to the festival and set out for the next chapter of her life.
