The Merciful
Eir Sigfrieda Blumenthal (a.k.a. Sig)
General Life
Born in the town of Glut, Sig was a popular track-star frequently competing in all the sport-festivals held in northern Meta countries. She kept to a unique schedule, which included sleeping in late while most athletes would rise early to train. Her grades were that of an average student trying her best, mostly As and Bs, with the only sign of struggle being a D in Science and Technology. Tired of being interrupted while working, Sig hangs around her brother and his girlfriend; Bran and Della, who knows she likes to be left to her own devices.
While popular, Sig herself claims to have no 'friends', instead referring to team-mates and trainers, and medical professionals as her only social circle. The teenager had a habit of avoiding people outside of competitions, only going shopping late at night, and preferring to work alone on school projects. Despite her asocial tendencies, Sig made it a statement to attend celebrations such as dances and victory parties hosted by other school teams.
Glut Burns Down
It was just before daybreak on a weary weekend morning when Sig was startled awake, and practically dragged out of her house on the verge of consciousness. The teen wasn't aware of what was happening around her at the time and only learned of the events that took place around mid-day, when she woke up in the back of her brother's shitty car, in the parking lot of a diner.
Approximately five minutes before the hour, a wildfire formed at the center of town, instantly destroying all in its path. The ring grew and quickly spread in all directions, shaking the small town in all but quiet righteousness, and threatened tired onlookers with a glimpse of their fate.
Normally, such an event wouldn't be too lethal, as the center of town was reserved for businesses, parks, and public spaces that did not open until well after the sun rose. However, it was an unfortunate circumstance that on this morning an important festival was in the works of being set up, and all the volunteers gone without a trace.
Among these volunteers were Bran, Della, and a new student named Wilhelm, who had left after completing their tasks early. The trio was on their way to Sig and Bran's home when the fire broke out, and fear instantly took hold of them all.
Without a second thought, Bran rushed home to retrieve his sister as well as some supplies, and travel until he was positive they were no longer in harm's way. It was here that Wilhelm and Della rushed in to grab any supplies they could easily access, while Bran took care of his sister and brought her outside with some of their belongings. There was not enough time for any of them to contact other friends or family, as the fire had nearly reached the house already. And they drove off to the vast and open fields, as far and as fast away from the town and the fire as they could.
Current Life
Few residents in these towns have identified Sig, not as a criminal, but as a quiet and helpful young lady. She has been noted to take on small odds and ends jobs, often assisting the elderly, watching kids for a couple of hours, and helping with building or moving. She makes friends in these places, while the others are rarely spoken of, most noticeably because they were hardly seen, but always were in good spirits.
After arriving at the City of Mourn, Sig and co moved into a low-end apartment as part of a deal set up by one of the friends Sig made in a previous town. The teens would help renovate and bring in tenants as their rent, while also working part-time jobs for other costs. Sig takes on a job as a waitress at the Sword & Swan Cafe, ran by the intimidating but friendly Annigan.
Her off-hours, not spent working at the apartments or cafe, were often taken up by studying at the local library or bothering members of the Guild of Mourn. These are suspected to be because of her great interest in sports medicine and a previously confessed dream of being involved in the medical field and working with fellow athletes.
