Personal history
Not much is known about her life before meeting Kalfr, but she is remembered most for stealing a newborn child to raise with him. Although she claimed she found them abandoned, no one believed her.
Efa was shunned by the villagers for being self-serving and manipulating the good-natured Kalfr. Some of this was unfairly put upon her, as she was not the most social nor the most diplomatic.
The stress of human life and her natural age span caused her health to decline when Mallt was quite young. She suffered a breakdown when Mallt was branded as a Mother’s Blessing and never recovered. She could no longer stand the ways of humans nor her daughter being ostracized.
Having forewent her return to the swamp- something which all Ephemera plan for when they die. She instead one day asked Kalfr if they could take a final family trip to Maersea, a border and market town close to the Naefergrene. She never came back from a walk with Mallt, and her clothes were discovered during a search of the nearby graveyard. It was presumed she died in the forest.
