~Character history/Intro story~

I came from a small town outside Athens. I had grown up with her mother, father, and older sister, Shenele. When I was fourteen, my mother had left during the night without a minute's notice. My papa had claimed she was crazy. The next summer, my papa died in a horse accident, leaving me and Shenele on our own. Years passed and the sisters survived well by themselves, but one day, Shenele left as well, suddenly becoming harsh and short with everyone and everything. I followed her, and soon discovered her sister at the temple of Ares close to Corinth. Lost, confused, and afraid, I began wandering, feeling as though she may turn on me. I left and never returned, hoping that she would never find me.

How did you wind up at the Academy? I was looking for a way to defend myself. This seemed the best and only way to do so!
