History: She was born at the edge of vast forest. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the forest to a summer home near a large cave. 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. Pogranix took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up rapier and armor she uses now. She has never given up on her dancing dream.
