Personal history
When her parents were struck ill and no longer able to provide for her and her 3 other siblings, Harlen devoted herself to developing skills to feed her family. Her natural kindness drew many of the townspeople towards her, while she made time where she could she always had extra space for children that were in similar or worse conditions.
As her siblings grew and started to find their own way in the world, her youngest brother Vanvex, died out in the surrounding forests from what appeared to be exposure. Harlen was grief and guilt stricken, believing she should have prepared Vanvex better.
She later found comforts in St Aldarn's Church of the Morning Lord. Through volunteer work she enabled many people to find peace and security with new survival skills they acquired through her. This lead to Harlen's eventual decision to become a sister and work for the faith full time.
Eventually after several horrific incidents, Sister Harlen chose to focus on the orphans of Barovia, founding the Orphanage of lost souls where she lives to this day
