Biography & Lore
Born to a poor family in Ven Anir, she learned from a young age that nothing comes free. She did what she could to support her family, mostly odd jobs, and sometimes going into the markets to pickpocket customers, which she learned from her father. Her mother was a dancer at one of the royal palaces and often would watch her mother practice her dance at home and sometimes copied her.
When she was 10 years old, her father was arrested for stealing from one of the mansions, and was sentenced to death, and with her mother being the only one to provide for her, she over worked herself and died. She continued to take odd jobs for herself, and when all the furniture and what she had left was the clothes on her back and her mother’s jewelry, the landlord kicked her out and she lived on the streets for several years. She got by dancing on the streets, begging, and on occasion pickpocketing.
At 13 years old, she got caught stealing from an aristocrat of the Great Houses and is now wanted by Vel Anir authorities. With no where to go, constantly in hiding, she fled Vel Anir and travels around the known world, performing and living in every corner of any village, town, and city to survive. At age 20, on the persuasion of other ladies her age of the streets, she decided to make a little more money by selling herself either on the streets or in taverns in exchange for either money, a meal, or a place to sleep, taking advantage of drunk or lonely men (or sometimes women) in need of some love or company. She wants a strong and rich person in her life, while maintaining her independence that was thrust upon her at a young age.
