Personal history

Born to her mother, Leaf on the Water, and her father, Lucky Chance, in the nomadic Sleeping Ocean clan, Fallen Starlight has been well-loved and on the move ever since she entered the world. The youngest of four, she lived an ordinary childhood, punctuated by bouts of mischief, occasional danger, and accompanied by the tight-knit clan in her ever-changing surroundings. Unlike her three siblings, this migratory and tribal lifestyle took root in her, and she ended up following the warrior paths of her mother and father. This brought her particularly close to her father, who was always somewhat disappointed in the triplets not choosing to carry on the family profession, and he ultimately gifted Fallen with her signature warhammer Motherland after she single-handedly took down a cave bear in her adulthood trial. Despite seemingly being her father's favorite, her siblings fostered no ill will towards her, and although their paths ultimately split she is still on good terms with all of her relatives. Shortly after celebrating her 23rd year, Starlight was out on a tribal hunt when disaster struck. The warriors were ambushed by a pack of displacer beasts, and Lucky Chance was cut down in the initial, violent onslaught. Although the Sleeping Ocean clansmen were victorious in the bloody fight that ensued, it was too late for Starlight's father. Devastated, the tribe returned to deliver the news to her mother, who collapsed in grief. The following week, her mother vanished, and left no trail to follow. Now orphaned, the four siblings decided to take their leave of the clan and forge their own paths in life, and perhaps find their mother along the way. During the following years of wandering, Starlight found work as a bounty hunter, and adopted the moniker of 'Two'. Her journey brought her into contact with many interesting characters, but none more interesting than Ievnessa. Two first encountered her in a seedy tavern, trying to make it as an entertainer, and immediately fell in love with Nessa's beautiful music and then Nessa herself. Their fling was short and passionate, but ultimately they were following different paths and had to separate. Heartbroken, Two agreed and moved on, and although she's mostly healed she still longs for her nights spent with Nessa. Eventually, her travels brought her to another small town, and the quaint, welcoming atmosphere appealed to her weary soul. Two settled down and stayed for a few months, growing close with the residents and lodging with a friendly goat farmer and his wife. As is the way of things, eventually trouble found its way to Two. The main commodity of the town, the goats, were disappearing quickly and seemingly overnight. Two tracked the thieves to the next town over, and discovered they were in desperate need of help. A werewolf nearby had been demanding tithes from the town in the form of livestock, threatening to destroy them if they didn't comply. They had been depleted of all their animals, and had turned to thievery to get by. Two offered to tackle the werewolf head on, which they gratefully accepted. One short and bloody hunt later, Two was victorious, and became a minor celebrity between both towns. Two enjoyed her time as a hero, but soon wanderlust struck. As she was preparing to leave, she received a mysterious invite to have dinner at the royal palace with the king himself. Intrigued, Two decided to attend the party, and this is where the real adventure began...
