Josephine's parents Elias and Jhilsara loved each other dearly. Elias had had relationships before, sure, but no one like Jhilsara. They were married for a short few years before she became with child. Jhilsara gave birth in her home in Norland, Elias by her side, to a sweet and healthy baby boy. The joy and bliss was short lived, however, because Jhilsara soon felt the familiar pressure in her abdomen. She had looked, frightened, to her husband and both of them knew what came next. After a few painful moments, Josephine was born. Her mother held her for only a few seconds before the light faded from her eyes and her arms went limp. Elias was struck with more grief than he knew a person could feel. He held his babies in his arms and let the grief turn slowly and gruesomely into rage. After that day, Josephine and her brother, Travis, were shunned by their father. Despite the curse of Iblees, Elias believed that it was Josephine herself that killed his wife, their mother. He despised her and often took his anger--drunken or otherwise--out on his daughter. Eventually, Josephine could no longer stand the torture her father put her through, and she ran from home with nothing but her will to live. It destroyed her to leave her brother--who was no better off than she was--behind, but she had no choice. Another day there, and she swore she would be killed. She was 16 then, and now, at a more mature age of 26, Josephine camps in the snowy mountains of Azuras, surviving off of whatever she can get her hands on.
