Her father, Gunnar Spellbringer, was a renowned mage, whom she apprenticed under for a time, but found his lessons quite 'safe' and 'dull'.

Eventually she grew to some manner of standing among those people as a helpful face, and a light of hope in people's darkest time. Eventually, while she and a few other folks from the town were trying to steal food and supplies from a military convoy passing by the outskirts of town, destined for an imperial fort to the south, a trap was sprung on them and the small group was imprisoned.
