History: The child of a Merchant, who enjoyed hunting, Vani 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 ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle 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. Vani took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up scimitar and armor she uses now. She has drifted apart from her friends and has been working freelance. Each gave each other a copy of their signature scimitar.
