History: Her history is one of pain. She was disowned by both parents and raised among the slaves her parents kept.

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 plains due to the painful memories there. Maynild took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up rapier and armor she uses now.
