Like her mother and her brother before her, after school she went straight into learning to become a Engraver. Some 5 years later her spouse died after the birth of her son.

Personality: Her voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl she speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of her tone. She always tries to repair and not replace. It was this mentality that drove her into the Mason business.
