History: Cecily was born into a poor family. Growing up, she dreamt of becoming a Paladin, to bring honor to her family’s name.

She always admired martial-users and wanted to develop the talent, but never had the affinity for it. When she grew older, she became a bit more civilized, usually hanging around bars and taverns.
