History: Jezean lived on a farm with her father, near the main road leading to a nearby town. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains 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 plains due to the painful memories there. Jezean took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up quarterstaff and armor she uses now.
