History: The child of a Glassblower, who enjoyed hunting, Beast was taken on many hunting expeditions. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a old dungeon. She would wander through that old dungeon 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 mountains due to the painful memories there. Beast took refuge in the old dungeon and found the beat up monstrous two handed axe and armor she uses now.
