Okay, my char's case she unlikely knows anyone else in the group (she was exclusively raised in her home and did not move out from her family lands until now), so unless you happened upon Vornstein lands during your travels you unlikely know Claudia (but if you did you may had met her in the small village at the river as she visited there often). Starting place wise fine with anything but would make sense more to Claudia that she starts from Skirith lands (as she was born there and just starts to travel around). Now on her superstitions;<br/><br/><strong>1:</strong>Never light a candle before a mirror while rest room is dark, otherwise you summon evil spirit/devil to see you.<br/>Mini superstition/sayings/beliefs (related to above); Light attracts darkness, Mirrors are tools of magic, Mirrors are open pathways to other worlds (or able view them), Eyes are mirror to soul and thus mirror reflection is soulless entity<br/><br/><strong>2:</strong>To bring yourself or others good luck (just before making promise, departing, someone leaving on work etc) is to touch your lips with index finger and then touch lip on other person with finger while making eye contact and say;<em>"May light illuminate your path and banish the shadows."</em>(this is family tradition unique to Vornsteins and local villagers which may had spread bit)<br/>Mini superstition/sayings/beliefs (related to above); Anything important told (a secret, warning or a other important task told) is need told so you have eye contact with the person, if person diverts gaze they do not take matter seriously enough, touching lip with finger and then other lip is means to create contact where prayers and words certainly carry over even if ears do not hear it
