* Background / Personal history:
** Only daughter of a successful silver mine owner, Demetria was educated in the finest Elvish schools in Jishoap and would eventually attend college there. While studying to be a bookkeeper for her father's business, she encountered a sophisticated older gentleman, who was an adventurer, and fell madly in love. Theirs was a romance that was beautiful and pure and they married after an extended courtship. Demetria's father was suspicious of her new husband, Dillon, as he thought he was an opportunist only after the family's fortune. Demetria was offended that her father would be so cynical and unkind to her new husband and they moved to Gardyloo to put distance between their families. Eventually, she became pregnant with Penelope and the couple was thrilled. During the second trimester of her pregnancy, Dillon was hired to rescue a kidnapped businessman in Niqamui. Upon finding the kidnapped man, Dillon discovered that the victim was none other than his father-in-law. Dillon screwed up his courage and delivered him from the clutches of his kidnappers while taking many more risks than normal. In the process, Dillon was mortally wounded but fought valiantly to the end to save his bride's father. After the incident, Demetria would blame her father for Dillon's passing (along with Dillon's characteristic bull-headedness). Demetria's father sought her forgiveness for misjudging Dillon so greatly as well as his part in his death. Demetria refused out of pride and heartbreak. She gave birth to Penelope and refused the offer of her father's help. Ultimately, this situation would cause Demetria to be very suspicious as many tried to take advantage of her plight. Sixteen years after the kidnapping, Demetria visited her father on his deathbed. They were able to reconcile just prior to his death, but healing the wounds would take Demetria quite a long time. She inherited the mining company and quickly sought to make it very profitable to help distract her from her unprocessed emotions and guilt.
** When Penelope met Luke, Dee was extremely suspicious. Luke was a known womanizer and she did not want her daughter to be heartbroken by him. As time went on, Luke settled his ways to win the love of Penelope and reformed his life so that it was her honor and life that were the priority over his own self-focused desires. As he built trust with Penelope, they began to be more serious. Demetria was torn as she did not want to lose her daughter as her father did due to her set, antagonistic views. She hesitantly came to accept Luke but is not above reminding him of his sordid past.
** Per the Peasoup tradition, Grandma Dee (as she became known) would have the responsibility to name the grandchildren. Given that she thought their first born should be named after his father, she slyly named him 'Lothario' to serve as an ever present reminder of Luke's womanizing ways. When the couple was expecting their second child, Grandma Dee was not used to the concept of a couple having more than one child and subsequently named the boy 'Burden'. In spite of these seemingly vicious names, Grandma Dee loves her family more than she will say out loud and feels that preparing them for life can only be done by overcoming adversity.
