:-\  I do not know who/what any of those things are.<br/><br/>But I am open to suggestions/cooperative building of the backstory!  ;D<br/><br/>As far as her hometown goes, I'm thinking, something rural but not too rural; suburbs not farmland, a place where someone can grow up blissful and ignorant of the harsh realities of the world until they come crashing down on them shattering the fragile illusion of their childhood innocence. The sort of place she could look back on and go 'yeah, I was really happy just fighting moderate-not-too-serious crime as a sixteen year-old princess with |Childhood Friend| there.'<br/>and then grow stern and serious as she remembers why |Childhood Friend| is no longer around and therefore she is not allowed to be happy.<br/>Then she stabs something evil.
