BACKGROUND (WIP):

Abandoned upon a brick altar in a small town, the young orphan girl was given the name of Pippa Stone -- though, she rarely uses her surname, as it does not truly reflect her bloodline. She grew up at the Cornick Home for Foundlings, located in a grand and peaceful city. Once a booming center of trade, her city home fell into ruin following the fall of the Empire. Many of the citizens moved, but the ones that remained ensured that the city became a dark and dreadful place. As the Cornick Home closed its doors, young Pippa was turned out on her own. She spent some time moving from foster home to foster home, and working odd jobs in exchange for room and board. The waif girl made little in terms of coin, but did gain some valuable skills -- tailoring and mending, baking, cookery, and hunting small game.

On her own once more, Pippa has set out to explore the land and perhaps find a purpose along the way. And though the chances are slim, she is hoping to somehow discover her true lineage.
