Ivy "Teacup" Thorndew

Ivy, commonly known as Teacup, is the adopted sister of Helga who found her as a young child, wandering aimlessly in the swamp. How she came to be in such a situation no-one is sure of, and Ivy herself has no memories of anything from before the swamp. Helga did her best to find the poor child's parents, but either none knew who they were or were unwilling to share any suspicions. Helga decided to take care of the young girl herself, despite there only being four years between them. Since then, the two have formed a strong bond and even though Teacup is of an age to find her own corner of swamp if she wished, she has chosen to remain with Helga and even took her surname as her own.   Despite living happily and comfortable with Helga, as Teacup has gotten older the question of her origin has begun to bother her more. Try as she might to hide it, she cannot help but wonder why she was abandoned and if it is due to there being something wrong with her. In her lowest moments, these thoughts swirl around and drag her self-esteem down, but other times a more rational part of her brain wonders if it was less about her, but simply the situation her parents found themselves in. More recently she has wondered if her parents had followed some ancient traditions, after reading in a book about how folks would offer their young to the swamp in an effort to gain favour or protection. There are far too many questions and, as of yet, no available answers. To keep her mind from dwelling too much on this subject, she has begun to take more of a role of apprentice under Helga, with the hopes of learning magic and potion-making.
