Personality: She is overprotective of those who hire her services. She pushes her goals aggressively. She is also a coward if confronted.

She would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. 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 forest due to the painful memories there.
