Lol, I know. I’m clueless when it comes to that stuff 😛 And yes, Google is an amazing thing!
@everyone
Alright, here’s Colma’s backstory:
Her father was the cook for the king in her world, but the monarchs were tyrants, and the kingdom was in poverty thanks to the royal family. Only the royal family and noblemen flourished while everyone else starved or barely scraped by. One day she finally decided it was her duty to do something. She slipped poison into the royal family’s food. So the king and his wife died, but they had no direct heir to the throne, which threw the kingdom into deeper turmoil because everyone who was in noble/royal class thought they should rule. So the kingdom was deeply divided as people fought over who should be the next ruler. Life was harder than ever. Finally, the king’s cousin, a ruthless man, killed all the competition, and crowned himself king. Colma became a fugitive and with a bounty over her head because she had murdered the old royal family. Her own family, horrified and furious at what she done, threw her out. She sheltered with her best friend, but he was so desperate he tried to turn her in for the bounty. To escape, she killed him, too. So she fled and became an outlaw. When she had to, she would kill to get food or keep herself from getting turned in. She hates herself for what’s she done, but a part of her that she hates even more, whispers that she did what she had to to survive. And then she accidentally found the character castle. So, yeah that’s where she is now.
If this is too dark or makes anyone uncomfortable, I’ll change it 😉
