History: She was born in a small mountains village. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a ruined castle.

Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there.
