Toruma (Freya)

Backstory

- Grew up in swamp/jungle like terrain with family - mother, father, older sister and brother

- Their family came to the quiet location because of a lineage they wanted to escape on

their fathers side - the blood curse

- They had succeeded, by not being scarred the curse was not activated and therefore not

a danger, the children didn’t know anything about it

- The past came back in the shape of her aunt and uncle, who had tracked down her

father

- They insisted the family reconnect to their lineage but her father refused, a fight broke

out at their family home and in the fray she got bitten, uncertain who was the one to do

so

- Her father was murdered in the fight

- Her brother and mother fled - hasn’t seen them since

- Her sister also got bitten, but she did not survive the change and died several weeks

later from infection

- Her aunt and uncle took her and for several years she was raised by them, but she

never forgot what they had done to her family and she never forgave them, sometimes

leading her to take out her long seething hatred, guilt and loss on sometimes innocent

people

- Eventually she left/ran? And though she longs for her brother and mother she would not

put them in danger and therefore did not go off in search of them, better they thought her

dead, for the person she once was died with her family

- Since then she spent time travelling, she befriended a racoon/red panda type creature

who has since become her familiar in the world

- She tries greatly to not harm unless necessary for when she loses control it becomes

immensely hard to spare the life of her victims

- She is a primal and solitary creature, but much of her longs for companion and friendship

of other humans, but she is equally curious and afraid; both of them and herself. Instead

once she finally settled she worked hard to use what useful knowledge and skills she

has as a hunter, as a herbalist and a magic user to aid people who struggled through the

cold winters and in doing so has a very group of people who know of her existence,

though not the actual location of her home within the jungle/swamplands that she calls

her home and sometimes will not appear for several months at a time. There may be

some rumors about swamp witch, or of some sort of viscous beast, or a mysterious

benevolent healer, but no one truly knows it is her or who she is, and no one who

ventures into her territory is guaranteed a safe return, if they return at all.
