Vavi

### Beginnings

When asked about her past you'll get the simple answer of "I don't know." Her memories begin with waking up on the beach alone and missing an eye. She came to the Rose with Lady Aerith and Freep, two members of House Cirkaan, who were the first to find her.

### Decoding the Past

During her time at the Rose, Vavi started becoming more and more curious about her past and all that was unknown about it. With the help of Estabulous Grey, she began to decode notes found at the back of her spell book. During one of the decoding sessions, they were interrupted by an attack of undead and with that distraction, Patch managed to steal the journal she was inscribing the code in.

When she finally realized it was gone, she got frantic and ran around searching for it and soon half of the camp was helping the search, except they all suspected Patch and were searching for him. They eventually found him, hiding in the woods, right as he started to burn the book and luckily were able to save majority of it from the flames.

Later that night, once everything had calmed down, Estabulous approached her and said that Patch had told him what was written in the code and why he had tried to hide it. *And that's still private between a few characters knowledge so it won't be written yet.*

### Challace

The arrival of Challace surprised many people. She arrived at the annual Frost Feast after hearing word of her sister living at the Rose. They found their way to each other during the feast and had a bitter sweet reunion, Challace being happy to finally find her sister alive and well but with no memory of her or their time together. The rest of the feast Vavi was glued to her side as much as possible, excitingly introducing her to all her everyone.

### Deaths Realm

After spending as much time as possible with Challace, Vavi gained confidence that she didn't have before. She was more comfortable with using her death magic and fighting with her dagger after much reassurance from someone that knew her from before. She stopped looking at the black gems on her collarbone and hands as something bad and evil looking and uncovered them for the first time since the beach.

Back during Frost Feast, Vavi was pulled aside by Estabulous and asked to go on a mission with him and a few others to deaths realm to recover Pax, and she had immediately agreed. The day that they had planned for the quest came up quick after they finished the research on how to get there. Their plan ended up not being needed because the whole town of Compass Rose awoke one morning to discover that there had been an anomaly and the town was now in Deaths Realm.

During the day the town spent in the realm, many things happened. Being one of the only main healers and also being able to command the dead through her magic, Vavi was running about trying her best to put her skills to use. This caused her to be one of the 4 people chosen to go through a maze that appeared that would be the final piece of the puzzle to get home. At the end of the maze, was the Hound of Death that had killed Pax, and they were protecting the last item needed to open the gate home.

The rest of the town found their way to the Hound and they discovered that the more people that fought it, the stronger it was, so only one person would be able to fight and win. After many attempts to defeat it, Vavi quickly stepped into the ring with it before anyone could stop her. For once, the thought of fighting someone with her dagger didn't scare her, but instead was driven by foreign muscle memory, long forgotten. After a long battle of constantly being on the move, circling the Hound, healing between strikes and casting armour on herself, she finally defeated it while on the brink of death herself.

When they brought the piece back to town centre, chaos ensued. Everyone was convinced Hendrick, a rogue like figure which many suspected to be a thief, had stollen one of the pieces and was trying to bargain it back to everyone for money. After much yelling and tying him up, the piece was acquired and most of the town left him tied up and went to open the portal. Vavi felt bad for him to she picked him up to take him over to the portal. While carrying him, Kaelthas, a sidhe prince of House Cirkaan, used Would-You-Kindly to command her to through him in the fire instead. Unable to disobey, she did. She tried to take him out and heal him but was then Would-You-Kindly'd by Princess Iago, of House Serta, to leave him and walk away, and then she proceeded to kill him as Vavi left. This set of events not only sparked anger in a lot of people but also in Vavi, who had never really felt that emotion before.

### Gone

When they finally all got back to the Rose (Hendrick included), and the adrenaline started to fade away, Vavi was hit with wave after wave of headache. And with the waves of pain, came memories. Small and few at first, then slowly more and more. While sitting by a tree overlooking the town, she sat down and began to write note. Only a couple at first, to the people she was closest to, but slowly more and more. Then after finding Challace and telling her about everything that happened, she delivered the notes to everyones doors, and they disappeared.
