Whether "Bolshaja Korova" is her real name, nobody really knows. The bovine lady was found by a group of traveling Halfling traders when she was very young, abandoned as a child, They took her in and treated her as family from that day on.
"Korry" as she prefers to call herself, has always been a hard worker. It helped that even while young, she was bigger than most of the halflings that were her family. She could lift more without ever getting tired, and was handy with tools. When she grew older, latent magical abilities awakened in her, which she used to help her adoptive family however she could.
But there also was a darker side to her. She never really… stopped growing. And as she began to tower over her halfling family, her bubbly personality slipped into carelessness. Though she never harmed a member of her halfling family, there were too many close calls as she simply didn't watch where she was going. And though she paid a modicum of attention while around those she knew, when strangers visited her family's caravan, it wasn't a rarity for her to step on one of them.
After some time, her family and her parted ways, amicably. The big bovine still loved them very much, but she felt it was time to leave home to pursue her own passions, and that was to become the worlds biggest and best chef!
