She grew up on the streets of Haense, the kingdom which is under the rule of Oren, as well as the kingdom of Helena, with her mother Klara. She grew up poor, but despite this, got along with her peers.She was always fascinated by the stories her mother would tell her about the king and skills of his soldiers. She became interested in archery because of her mothers’ stories,and at the age of 10 was taken under the wing of a local bowyer and hunter who taught her the ways of the bow, before eventually granting her her own. She never showed major signs of being bipolar, up until the age od 12 when she started to have long-lasting mood swings. As a child, she always had way more energy than other children, sometimes she didn’t sleep for days, inventing her imaginary friends with whom she’d talk to and play with when her real ones couldn’t. She learned to hunt and provide for her mother as she got older and her mother would often make her arrows out of rocks and sticks Lada brought home. Her mother was killed by a group of bandits when Lada was 18 years of age. Because of this, she started to distrust and dislike people around her. On her 20th birthday, she decides to travel to the City of Ves in the Dutchy of Adria, in hopes of finding a new home. On her journeys, she never took popular paths for travellers, she wanted to avoid contact with people she found rather sketchy, so she took longer paths through forests and fields. The bow she was granted with started to get worn out with time, but she always carries it with her and repairs it as well as she can,as it is the only thing she kept from her childhood. On her trips, she suffered many episodes of depression and anxiety, on some days being either really happy or really angry, but on others sad and gloomy. She never got a chance to be introduced to any religions/faiths, so she never believed in anything to pray to for hope. In her lifetime, she never had a crush, or had lasting friendships. She always travels alone, stops only for food and water, occassionally to ask for a correct direction to the city. On some rare occassions, she asks travellers with stock carries if they could take her with them, luckily they would always accept and in return she’d give them extra food she had hunted the night before. As she got closer and closer to the City, she became happier and started to have more hope. As she encountered many people on her journey, mostly nice people, she started to be calmer and more comfortable around them.
˝I’m looking for a home˝ *she looks at the man while putting her small leather bag on her back* ˝I’ve travelled a long way, so I hope it was worth it¨ *she frowns at the man giving out a sigh* ˝I am also looking for a craftsman, my bow needs repairing˝ *she shows her bow has been quite worn out* ¨Are there any young huntsmen that need a mentor? As far as I can see, there’s a lot of people who live around here˝ *as she says that she takes a step forward and looks at the people, slowly studying them* ¨This looks like a well populated city, I haven’t been anywhere other than the one I grew up in. It was quite hard to find the right direction, too˝ *she’d look back at the direction she came from* ˝I hope you have a good way of welcoming newcomers. Also, I never introduced myself, I am Lada, I came from Haense and I am a well taught bowyer.˝ *she smiles at the man, holding tightly to her bow* ˝Being new to a place like this is quite overwhelming, but I think I can manage to find what I’m looking for on my own. Thank you for welcoming me and I hope you have a good day.˝ *as she says goodbye, she starts walking into the market trying her best not to stand out*
