== Background / Personal history ==
Reine is a demure woman, whose incredibly physical strength is hard to spot at first glance, though she does appear somewhat muscular upon closer inspection. Her most distinguishing feature is most likely the claw marks on her face as well as her blind left eye. That along with the faint scars on her body, she appears rather intimidating at first... weren't it for her timid and skittish demeanor. Her ashe blond hair is rather long and mostly unkempt, though she tends to braid some strands to calm herself down. She always wears headgear of some kind, especially headscarfs or hoods. 
Reine comes from a small village colloquially called "Village of Wolves" somewhere in a forest. It's a quiet village, its location long since forgotten in obscurity. They uphold very old traditions and customs, deeply related to their identities. They foraged, farmed and fished close to their village, only leaving for a few special occasions. At least they used to, until the village was attacked by mercenaries. Dozens were killed and the rest was forced to flee. So too, was Reine forced to flee, only a few days before a ceremony very important to one of the village of the wolves. 
She and her closest friend Sigrid fled together, uncertain if any of their relatives or friends had made it out of the village alive. In contrary to Reine, Sigrid had always been courageous, headstrong and calculated. Without her, Reine might not have gotten very far. To their misfortune however, the mercenaries that had attacked their village had set some of their members to hunt them down. They turned out to be excellent trackers, rivaling Reine and Sigrid themselves and were not easily fooled by false trails and intentionally broken branches. The hunt dragged out, never leaving either side to rest. 
The anxiety and fatigue shaved their spirits bit by bit, until the tension grew too strong and a fight broke out between the two women marked prey. The commotion alerted their pursuers and the two were faced with a decision. Yet, before Reine had a chance to act, Sigrid took the initiative. She offered the hunters a deal, as the best huntress of the wolves' village, she offered to hunt every other member in exchange for her life. Knowing Sigrid could provide supernatural prowess right there to exploit, the mercenaries took the deal. A fight broke out between Sigrid and Reine, a test of loyalty to Sigrid's new employers. In the end, Reine managed to escape, but not without damage. A swipe to her face had cost her her eye. Wounded, she ventured out of the forest, collapsing into a river. That surely would've been her end, the mercenaries would've caught up to her in no time. ...If Reine hadn't received help. 
Paciano Cabrera picked her up from the riverside and returned her to his caravan. A travelling merchant by trade, he'd simply wanted to take a bath in the river and found a bleeding woman instead. Fate smiled upon Reine, as the caravan had invested into a herbalist, capable of treating her wounds. Her left eye had lost its sight, but she survived. After waking, Paciano listened to her tale and decided to take her in for a while. The river had done much to make her pursuers lose her trail, but using clothing of other caravan travelers, they masked her scent and somewhat smuggled her further away from the mercenaries.
Reine lived with Paciano for a while, always on the road. He taught her of the world outside her village, of grand cities, magics and technologies she'd never seen before, all the while trying to keep her away from any possible pursuers. Reine felt somewhat safe, but even in her dreams she couldn't find rest. Feeling like he'd properly prepared her for the world, Paciano decided to bring her somewhere far safer and most likely far more interesting than ye olde business trips. He knew she needed friends, people she could really depend on, that would have her back and perhaps one day take her anxiety.
As Paciano entered the Guild of the Firebreathing Kittens, Reine tightly clung to his arm in nervosity.
