History: When she was but 5 years old her parents immigrated from the east. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a large cave.

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.
