She had grown up quite sheltered, protected from the harsh reality of the world around her.

Her parents, artisans who created stunning tapestries, instilled in her the deep appreciation for beauty. Beauty in everything and everyone. Her parents doted on her, the only child, and crafted her from a gentle child into a young soul too pure for the world around her.

Sheltering her from darkness, hoping to preserve her innocence, would eventually lead to her downfall. She had been schooled in her home, learning the skills of her family trade for when she would eventually join it. This left her ill-prepared for the hardships of life. Her parents passed due to illness, one after the other, and Bryony was left alone in a world she did not know. Shattered, she continued the family trade, but without guidance she struggled to keep business afloat and keep food in her stomach.

Now, Bryony finds herself desperate and alone.
