    Clio was raised in a lovely, close-knit farming community that had been mainly occupied by Hansetians, situated outside of Haense. Her parents – Rosemund Amaretti and Pietre Amaretti – were rough and hardworking farmers. They taught her the ways of their agricultural occupation that had been occupied by her ancestors for generations before her. Influenced heavily by the Red Faith, her community found immense pride in carrying on the tradition of serving the king as farm laborers, and she was raised with the expectation that she, too would take up that mantle as well. They believed that by providing sustenance for the people within Haense, they were doing well in the name of the All Father and their form of sacrifice to the deity was living in servitude as laborers and farmers. Clio had enjoyed her time as a young, rough-and-tumble kid who spent her days playing in the fields and pastures with her friends. There was limited education options, the children were only expected to learn counting and how to speak common, but reading was not a developed curriculum, so many of them bypassed the literature lessons. They spent the long summer days playing out dreams of adventuring, slaying beasts, saving royals, and exploring non-human civilizations; and Clio couldn’t help but daydream about the fantastical life they made up. As she got older, however, she and her friends were able to spend fewer hours dreaming together, their parents expected them to contribute more hours to their fields. Clio quickly learned that she couldn’t uphold this familial tradition, she hated farming, she spent those long arduous hours daydreaming about the adventurer’s life. Day by day, the crushing reality that the farm would be her only worldly experience weighed down on her, so she began sneaking out of her window by night and wandering into the lands surrounding her village. She couldn’t satisfy her taste for discovery and adventure. Upon turning 18, Rosemund and Pietre took Clio on the long trip into the kingdom of Haense, allowing her to purchase anything of her liking (within budget of course), and as an opportunity to see the bustling city in all of its glory. Clio, elated, purchased a dull and rusty short sword (Much to her mother’s distaste) from a blacksmith’s shop. She was enamoured with the fast life in the city, and returning to the Village after seeing what was out there was unbearable for her. For weeks, Clio deliberated escaping her expectations of being a farmer at the cost of losing her loving friends and family, and ultimately decided to fulfill her life’s dream instead of live in misery. With a heavy heart, she left her family home by night, bringing her short sword and a few rations found in the cellar. Her start as an adventurer was rough, she had to learn very quickly that it was not as glamorous or as rewarding as she had dreamed. She spent many nights hungry and cold, had to learn survival skills from trial and error, and debated many many times whether or not she should return to her village where it was safe and warm. Clio’s hardy, bullheaded parents had instilled within her a steely determination, so her constitution allowed her to stick with her guns and make it past the immense learning curve of survivalism. Four years later, Clio is a seasoned, hardy adventurer who has still managed to reserve her personable attitude and happy-go-lucky demeanor she had back at her village, although it has been weathered by the harshness of reality and is tinged with lingering homesickness for her past life. She had become disillusioned with the deity she had grown up revering, as she saw no apparent divine favoritism shown to her people who spent every waking moment dedicating their lives to the All Father.Clio still holds regret for leaving her village and is afraid that if she returns, she will be shunned for breaking the proud tradition of her town, and in their eyes, abandoning her sacred duty to the All Father as a laborer of the land.
