Personal history
Haleen has lived in Orin's Keep keep her entire life.
Her father worked as the village brewer. However, he tended to enjoy his craft a little too much. As a result, Haleen found the work off-putting, as well a drinking to any excess. Haleen had no desire to follow her father's trade, or that of her mother, a simple seamstress. Haleen was always quite large for her age and quite strong. She was often teased by other children for her size, especially the boys of the village. As she grew, she found herself longing for something where her strength and size would allow her to excel, rather than be a source of shame or embarrassment. She discovered that blacksmithing met this need perfectly and still allowed her to work more independently, rather than being forced to crowd in the mines with those that often teased her. She apprenticed to the then village blacksmith, Wyndon. Wyndon was extremely skeptical of having a girl apprentice to him but decided to give her a chance. If nothing else, failure would soon teach Haleen to leave him alone. But Haleen did not fail and Wyndon quickly grew to respect the young girl's strength and skill with the hammer. In later years, as Haleen took over more and more of the forge work and her skill grew yet still, Wyndon would lament that the village lacked the facilities of an armory where Haleen's skills could grow even further. Haleen would continue to work the forge after Wyndon's death when she was 25. After that, rather than the two of them, Haleen would often work alone, occasionally aided by a few kobolds when she required extra hands for larger demands. It was sometimes lonely work but as people of the village came to rely on her labor to repair their tools and make implements for them, she earned their respect and was no longer mocked for her unusual size. Haleen still remembers the laments of Wyndon's later years, however, and wonders what it would be like to work the finer forges and tools of Phandelver where they craft the fine armor and weapons of the Draconians soldiers.
