Personal history
When Odessa was 14, an official courier arrived at their house during dinner one night, bringing an invitation for her father Ayden from his home kingdom of Everethe to open a kingdom-sponsored store in the famous market district of the capital of Primrose. Despite it being his dream throughout his travels, he didn't want to uproot again after so long, and ultimately declined the offer. However, before the courier left her sister Orphelia stopped him, and asked if she could accept the invitation on her father's behalf, catching everyone off guard. Orphelia explained that this would be a golden opportunity for her to realize her passion and make a name for herself, and even offered to split the sponsorship with Odessa. At first, Odessa didn't know how to respond, as she had been content with her experiments with their friends Squash and Zephas for such a long time by that point. However, after a couple moments of thought it didn't take long for her to realize that this was in fact an opportunity she couldn't pass up either, and she readily joined her sister's request. Now realizing the opportunity himself their father conceded, and gave them his blessing before the courier chimed in, explaining that the invitation was for their father only. Fortunately, the sisters' dejection didn't last long, as after a moment of thought the courier informed the family that he was willing to take a chance on them. He explained that while he couldn't say anything officially, the Kingdom of Everethe has a well established relationship with lamia merchants, and thanks to their reputation he personally felt that it shouldn't be too difficult a negotiation to allow the sisters to accept their father's invitation, but there was a catch. As a courier, he couldn't make a guarantee, and the only way they could have the invitation changed is if Orphelia and Odessa returned to Primrose with him in order to negotiate themselves. Before leaving for the night, the courier parted by saying that he will be returning to Everethe in a week, and he would stop by to receive their official decision before he left, and advise them to start preparations just in case. It didn't take more than a day for the sisters to decide that even if they didn't get the sponsorship, traveling to Everethe was nonetheless a golden opportunity to make names for themselves, and worst-case scenario they could find work thanks to Odessa's membership in the Guild of Alchemy, which was large enough to have an embassy in Primrose thanks in part to its current status as The Fourth. They spent the rest of the week making preparations and goodbyes, and left with the courier upon his return.
Shortly after leaving Orethessis, the sisters realized they had a stowaway with them, an orphaned kobold child named Shiny, who dreamed of becoming an adventurer. After an impressively short debate with the courier on whether to bring him back to town, they decided they found him adorable, and agreed to take him with them in exchange for him acting as their assistant while he was with them. Upon arriving in Primrose, the courier had the now-trio set up in lamia-accessible inn while he attempted to schedule a negotiation with Princess Premier Pryia Everehthe, who directly oversees the kingdom's sponsorships. In the end it turned out that scheduling the negotiation was the hard part, as once they were able to receive an audience with her they were approved almost immediately, and ended up spending most of their allotted time in conversation, becoming fast friends. In all, the sisters were not only granted the full sponsorship and shop location that was offered to their father, but Pryia decided to invest in them a little more, striking a deal to help partially stock their inventory at the kingdom's expense in exchange for the sisters providing some of their merchandise free of cost to certain individuals when specifically requested to do so by the kingdom. Over the following years the sisters established themselves as the go-to place in Primrose for their trade, and over time Pryia herself became less of their sponsor, and more of their friend.
