Personal history
Verbena Was born into a poor family her father Ira left after her mother Maud passed when Verbena was ten years old. Her mother was murdered in a forest while foraging for berries, she was in significant debt and was killed as she fell short of paying that back. Verbena was full of grief for her mother and at the young age of ten had to care for her siblings. She begged on the streets until she was old enough to be a barmaid in a local tavern earning enough money to provide for her siblings.
Nearing her 18th birthday Verbena started to save every extra piece of gold copper and silver she could scrounge up for weeks. On the day before her 18th birthday, she met a small grey-haired halfling man. He had never been to this tavern she came to every day, and yet it felt like she had met him before. Continuing with her tasks she couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that she had seen this man before. At the end of a long night the man had drank and eaten his fill he stood up to leave. He pulled out a lute, Wrote a note on a piece of parchment, folded it, and left 5 gold pieces and a small brass ring. He stood up and walked out of the nearly empty tavern leaving these gifts in his place. Verbena, watching him do this, walked to inspect the items, opening the note it said: "This is all I have, It's yours now Verbena, You don't deserve the same fate as her, go and don't come back here, love Ira."She picked up the lute and attempted to play a small melody.
From then on Verbena learned how to weave spells into her words and stories. She left her hometown of Featherdown and didn't look back, performing in small taverns for coin and making a name for herself. On a quiet day in a pub, she was playing in the corner of the room and a small gnomish woman introduced herself as Morgan Teyumal. Verbena was instantly bewitched by Morgan. She proposed a job to Verbena and she reluctantly accepted. They became very close and worked together for a few years verbenas love for her growing stronger every day. But never acting on her feelings out of fear she wouldn't feel the same way had its consequences.
On a journey to a small fishing town to collect some supplies, When taking camp in a cave through a cold and rainy night, asleep and unknowing verbena and her trusted companion were attacked by a starving and angry dire wolf. It was a bloody mess and any efforts To get away were difficult, terrefied she slashed at the snarling wolf and managed to kill it. But Verbena bleeding out slowly looked for Morgan and found her bloody cold and maulled body. Losing the woman who never knew she loved her more than she knew filled Verbena with overwhelming depression. Dragging her body back to a small village nearby she stayed there for a few years.
