History: A studious child she never was much for a social life, not because she was unlikable, but because she did not seek it out.

She was a general practitioner in the west for years, until she, through no fault of her own, lost a patient who had a very powerful family. Rather than risk reprisal she made her way south. She has since lost track of the people in her past.
