When Rainalyn was born, it was more of a panic. Her parents were travelling from Renatus to Curon. They enjoyed the thrill of adventure. Raven, Rainalyn’s mother knew it was best they find a place to settle for the next couple of years. Her husband River decided that this would be their last trip for a some time. To go to a place they have never been, Curon. The trip was rather risky given the fact Raven was bearing a child. They had been traveling for months and months on end to get to Curon, hopeful they would make it to the lovely lands before Rainalyn was born. This was not the case as Rainalyn would be born early. They were lucky enough to have traveled as far as Adria. Thankfully they were in the lovely city, as River quickly set out to find the nearest doctor for his beloved wife. After he had found a doctor, sweet little Rainalyn was born some time after. They decided to stay in Adria for some a short about of time, till Rainalyn was about three years old. Then they decided it was best to keep on with their adventure. The Bloomington family was once again on the road. During this time Rainalyn had learned to talk, walk, and even sing a few songs. When her family finally reached Curon they were over joyed. Her mother loved the land and the architecture. Raven wasting no time convincing her husband to buy land here. So he did, he started looking for people who were willing to sell, this took a while but he managed to find a farmer willing to sell their land on the outskirts of town. The house it’s self needed work but it was well worth it since this was to be their forever home. While River was always fixing the house Raven was teaching Rainalyn how to cook and clean along with even read some of the books from the local library. Rainalyn was six years old by this point. She has just started homeschooling since her family could not afford to send her to public school. As Rainalyn become older she had acquired many skills, Such as reading and writing and even gardening. By the time Rainalyn was nine she could only be found under the big oak tree near the fields always reading some new book from the library.This was the same year the War of the Two Emperors has begun. When she turned thirteen she had picked up the knew hobby of fencing, after seeing the boys around Curon always playing with their wooden swords in the streets. Her mother greatly disapproved of such actions. Rainalyn disagreed with her mother and decided to practice her swordsmanship in secret. A few months after Rainalyn had turned 15 her father decided it would be best to join the war to help his fellow men in battle. Sadly this did not end well for the Bloomington family. Her father River James Bloomington died in the war. Her mother had become greatly distressed. Her mother rarely ever left her room. Always looking at old items they had gotten while adventuring. Three years after her Fathers death in 1725 Rainalyn’s mother Raven Amelia Rose Bloomington died of the flue. Now Rainalyn is 18, trying to survive by selling good grown from her family’s farm.
Rainalyn takes a step back from the man, giving him a proper curtsy as she does so. “Good evening sir! Adventure I may. I’ve been blessed to hear the wonders of this lovely city. After hearing so much I just had to come and see if such wonders were true! Beautiful she is may I say sir. May I ask what places you recommend I visit while I’m here?” Rainalyn ask curiously as she looks around the port, taking in the beauty of the city while she waits.
