History: Born in a small village she learned the ways of the warrior from her mother. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the desert to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days.

The family never returned to the desert due to the painful memories there. Oppah took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up flail and armor she uses now.
