Is a cousin whose pride and honour has long been put on the side-lines, left to self-despair and alcohol. There was a time where Bali Raider was the of pride of the entire Raider family and that involved being in a relationship with a man with retainer blood.

The male to female ratio in all of Sedibeng, unique.

She was someone who'd gotten a man and one of the good ones. Entire clans could be built on a family being able to produce a couple males. So it should not have been shocking when the perfect relationship fell apart. She was reduced from the love of someone's life to a woman, the man of her dreams would sometimes sleep on top of when he struck out upon reaching beyond his means.

Sadly, hers was a world where beggars didn't have the right to be choosers, but she had some pride.
She technically had him, they were married, involving a wedding and everything.
He was her god damn property!

But that didn't matter, he would still do what he wanted, love always went from ethereal to 'practical', and they were always practical.
Her man took to making the best of his life, but no divorce would come, not from her. But as a retainer, the potential from a better woman was something she'd just have to accept, only she couldn't.

What started as complaining, became annoying those around her then serious self-pity. And eventually quiet drinking when the people around her didn't want to hear it anymore.

That had hurt her more than anything, it was all about family, but where were they now?

That was where her cousin came in, Bali Raider needed something to do, Lilo needed a babysitter. It was a match made in heaven and it worked for a while until the drinking won over her spirit.

She was beyond hope leaving baby Lilo entirely to her own devices, even with a baby right there. So when Lilo ran away from home, leaving when under her watch did she realize how far she'd sank.
She genuinely tried to get better but the family support wasn't there and she was kicked out of many a home until she was kidnapped by her mother’s prison friends who'd go out of their way to find her, watch her and let go.

Her mother wasn't nobility or a High Borne but perfect strangers lead her down any path that might hurt the family or herself. She was stuck and so full of self-pity she couldn't escape, all while still being married which, for years meant nothing when she started to notice him more often. When she came home, he was there, which he was there, he actually spoke to her.

It was shocking and new, but she could detect the fear in him, it wasn't just her being followed and intimidated.

The entire criminal element would be out in force and her mother would do all she could to get her 'Bali' to at least be functional and for literally years she struggled to be functional until she was bored one day, decided to play with wood. It wasn't supposed to mean anything, but she turned out to be pretty good at it, starting with woodwork, but eventually adding design and flair to her work. she wouldn't change the world with her works, but it would prove good enough to ensure a steady stream of income from her family and her own, natural sense of pride.

The appeal got her men like before, only looking for something grizzly but sweet, that resided in her, something sweet enough for her to have three children by three men none of whom were from her husband.
