Hilary Gryffman
Hilary Gryffman
Hilary was born to a simple family in Quantium, albeit a rather large one. She led quite an unassuming life, her mother hoped she would marry a merchant, her father hoped she would become a cleric. She ended up doing neither. at 16, she packed her bags, and she left. It took everyone by surprise, but this sweet unassuming girl had decided she would become an adventurer. First she would go find herself and then she would dedicate herself to whatever she found. That was what she had always hoped for secretly, and the tedium of life had pushed her into finally making that hope a reality.

Personal history
When Hillary met John Gryffman, it was as if her life had been reaffirmed. She had chosen from a young age to abandon Quantium and head out, adventuring, getting in touch with the world, finding herself. All those teenage fantasies. She had considered turning back, and yet there he was, right in her path, staring at her. The first person she had seen in years. He soon took her back to meet his Dad and soon after they got married. They were head over heels in love with each other, and for a few years after that, they only hunted, ate, and slept, every day, together.
After John's father passed away, the pair decided to move away from the Rift and head to greener pastures, eventually settling in the forests around Haven. They soon realised the undead and the cultists are the area where a bigger problem than they imagined, but they also were both too stubborn to admit defeat. And thus they carved their own home out in the midst of seemingly endless hordes or monstrosities. Time passed, they had a baby girl, and the pair of them carried on as ever. Now, those who are versed in cultists will realise here that there was an issue... having a baby in the middle of cultist invested woods is bound to attract the attention of some nefarious chap wanting to put his long dead god into the body of a baby, and sure enough, that is exactly what one attempted to do.
Rose Gryffman, their baby, was as innocent a baby as one can imagine. She rarely cried, preferring a quiet whimper for attention. She rarely got angry, except when Hilary threw away her favourite Leopard tail when she refused to stop trying to eat it. The world for the three of them was perfect, peaceful and wonderful. Then the cultists descended and soon their home was ablaze, their baby separated from them, and they themselves left bleeding in a ditch. The night passed and they woke up to their ruin. At first despair took them over, but soon after rage filled their hearts. They knew how to find the bastards that did this, they had been training for this their whole lives.
The baby had been taken to a disused temple, it only took them 3 hours to find it, but what they saw curdled their blood. The baby was laid naked on a stone tablet, surrounded by the hearts of beasts, entrails draped across its stomach. It took them mere minutes of letting their arrows fly to have felled all those responsible for this. It was the first time they had hunted people, they were shocked by how much easier it was, yet how much heavier it felt. They collected Rose, not knowing what had been done or how far the ritual had gone, and they walked to Haven. It would become their safety net. They would hunt, and bring food back there, in return they knew Overgrowth would keep Rose safe.
When Overgrowth decided to move to the new world, they were amongst the first non-guild members to ask if they could come with them. They saw the opportunity for a future for their daughter, but almost more importantly they also saw the opportunity for a new level of hunting to be undertaken, challenges like none before.Deep down in Hilary's heart, she also felt this was the best chance to get away from whatever those bastards in the woods had done to her baby.
