Rema DiBesto

Posted 1 year ago

The child of a commoner and gypsy, Rema dreamed of becoming a knight at a young age after hearing many of her grandfather's war stories. Adopting boyish tendencies despite her mother's rearing, it was less enviable in the eyes of her father. Despite his discouraging her hoyden ways, it did little to stop it or from scuffling with local boys for their teasing. After striking an officer at the Battle of Baledgnona, her father was put in the dungeons for a year. Returning, Rema barely recognized him, even less after he took to vice's and mercenary work.

Imagination took her far away from the burdens the war put upon the commoner. The grape vineyard once serving them well no longer yielded with demand draining the soil, barely keeping them from serfitude. What gypsy trades learned where refused by most as gypsies became refugees from the conflict.

It was around this time that Rema first met the Gavrielles, a girl and her mother moving to a remote abode not far off. Rema was enamoured with Miriam's worldliness, the strange aura both women held. A friendship led Rema to fence, read, write, learn of the world Miriam had experienced, her adventures as the seemed.

It wouldn't be until later Miriam discovered Rema's secret, leading her to reveal her heritage and give her a gift that would bind them then on.
