| Background: | Fursa's life has been a hard one. She was orphaned at a very young age, and can remember very little of the time before she lost her parents. A kindly wizard found her hidden among the ruins of the camp she lived in with her parents and took her in, raising her as best he could. When she got old enough, he tried to teach her magic, but when she showed no talent in any field of magic, he had her help keep his home and office clean. She was taught to recognize certain plants needed for spells and the basics of reading, writing and figuring, but before she could learn anything advance, he disappeared. For about seven years, she lived on her own, barely earning enough from selling the few things she's found and repaired, and gathering plants to get by. On one trip back to Cat's Haven from Tiger Beach, she fell and injured her ankel. Already weak and starving, she couldn't go no further to escape the men coming after her. If it wasn't for her , now, friend and mentor,
Magus, she surely would have died in a life of slavery. Now, she learns and lives under his and Kupumzika's guidance, and has found someone she adores completely. |
| Misc Info: | Fursa is extremely shy, almost to the point of being anti-social. She does have a speach impediment, a stutter which gets in the way of understanding her when she's nervous or frightened. In light of recent events, she isn;t as shy as she used to be, and her stutter has decreased noticably. Also, she has learned how to use a sword and some self defense, but she'll still turn and run before fighting. |
