Kaoreii:
To say that Kaoreii was without parents would not exactly be the truth. She would not see or know her parents until years after her birth.
She was born outside the city of Payon to a young, flaming-red-haired assassin by the name of Tiana Pyrina. She was the result of a single night of passion between the assassin and another, and Tiana felt that she could not keep the child. She stayed with her infant daughter the first night of her life, and she carefully burned a mark -- a small flame, the insigna of the Pyrina family-- onto the back of Kaoreii's left hand. Tiana did not consider what she was doing abandonment, for she had every intention of returning for the girl when she was older. As the sun rose, the assassin kissed her infant on the forehead, and left her in the center of Payon, with only a shirt-turned-blanket and a small peice of paper with the girl's name on it.
To say that Payon was the best place to abandon a child would be quite the stretch. And as the sun rose, Kaoreii cried and caught the attention of the residents. She caused quite a commotion, for such a little thing. Some said throw her to the wolves, some said hunt for her mother. But an older archer saw the small mark on her hand, and decided that perhaps they should raise the girl. His logic was that they could mold her from a young age into the perfect archer, to perhaps rid them of the zombie problem in the northern caves.
As Kaoreii grew, she indeed became the 'child' of the entire archer's guild. She was very quiet and determined to not make trouble. At age seven, she was given her first bow, a play one to cut her teeth on. She was a horrendous archer. She had no talent for it at all. The wolves discussion was starting to return when the archer who had saved her gingerly switched the bow in her hands, from her right to her left. From then on, she grew to be one of the most accurate archers in the guild.
At age sixteen, Kaoreii experienced romance, in a fashion. A young man from Alberta, wealthy and spoiled, came to become an archer. He realized that Kaoreii was in VERY well with the leaders of the guild and decided to try and do this the easy way. He began to woo poor innocent Kaoreii, who soon was wrapped around his finger. And while the boy was a spoiled brat, he was not very smart. With the help of her 'father', the man who had saved her, she saw him for what he was. When she confronted him with this, he was smug in affirming her accusations. He demeaned her before deciding that archer class is worthless, and he left. The entire experience rattled Kaoreii, and she resolved to be more careful with her heart.
At eighteen, Kaoreii decided to begin her journey. The night before she left, her 'father' told her to not look too hard for her mother, for she would not like what she found. Taking his words to heart, like she did always, she left Payon in bright spirits. When she reached Prontera, she was soon lost in the entirely foreign experience. She got turned around so many times in the large city that she often times just sat in the center of town and watched the people go by. It was there she met Risa, a young acolyte from Geffen with a very similar problem. She and Risa grew very close, and to the eyes of the chruch, closer than two women should ever be. After travelling together for about a year, the two had become lovers. The church refused to stand by that, and while they could not punish Kaoreii, they did punish Risa. She was burned at the stake as if she were a witch. It was then, watching the column of smoke from the other side of Prontera, that young Kaoreii vowed to never love again. Full of hatred for the established church, she focused all her energy into her training, and soon became a huntress.
