Her parents died when she was young, and she was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Whurdred grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Whurdred. She has recently gotten a pet goose that steals things from people.
