## Backstory

Anna was born to a middle class family in urban England. Both her families had been raised in deeply religious homes, but their own experiences had made it so they grew up with a distance to faith. They passed on that distaste of faith to their children. So Anna and her three siblings were raised with a strong anti-religion mindset. While her brothers were seemingly more tolerant of opposing views, Anna was not. All throughout school she would get in trouble by going off on other kids saying "My parents say God is evil" or "everyone knows that kind of stuff is for suckers' '. The constant attacks on others beliefs would be a continual point of contention.

In highschool Anna would hit a low period in her life, her mother would get sick and pass away after fighting the disease for six months. Her grandparents did not make the situation better, instead they instilled that it was her mother's fault for rejecting the love of the lord. This pushed Anna's intolerance into pure hatred. She joined many online communities centered on the growing hatred of organized religion. She became more anarchist and full of conspiracy falling into the rabbit hole of extremism.

Eventually this extremism would cost her the ultimate life. With social unease fresh in the air, Anna left the comfort of her online hate and took it into the real world. Joining up with online friends she would participate in a series of real life riots. These riots were originally protests that turned violent at the prodding of groups like her own. In the violence that followed arm forces were sent to quell the threat. A soldier still fresh from training and not use to these types of situations opened fire into a crowd of rioters. Anna was struck by one of the bullets and pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.

It was in death she would find the ultimate irony of her life. When she died she met with God. God spoke to her and sent her on a mission to a new world. The very being she had hated and rejected had chosen her.

## Current Life

Hildegard was born to a pious family of minor nobles. They were only nobles in name with no real wealth to speak of. The family was a large one with ten children, eight of them being boys, and she being the second youngest daughter. While being a normal child at first it became clear that she was different as she grew up. As soon as she learned how to speak she would preach about a holy mission from God, that she had been chosen and reborn for a great mission. When asked she could never say what her life was like before, only that she was meant for greatness in this life.

As she grew up she learned the art of combat from her older brothers as well as magic in secret, rejecting any of the normal lady-like practices her mother tried to teach her. Her zealous faith in a God no one had ever heard of, her prideful instance that she was chosen by the divine, and her rejection of social norms made her an outcast. Her family grew tired of her embarrassing behavior and sought to marry her off. Hildegard managed to ruin every arrangement.

Finally the last straw was broken and Hildegard was thrown out of her home. Given the basics to survive and forced out into the world. The only thing of value she was given was a good quality longsword from her older brother Fredrick. With this sword and her magic in hand she set out into the world to start her personal holy quest.
