Desert Fang Grim Devil Lioness

Grim can't really remember a time in her life when she didn't... Serve. Passed from one house to the next, always in servitude. And she had never really had a chance to construct herself outside of the mind that she lived for something (often, someone) greater than herself. She excelled quietly, without complaint, and without thanks.

During her tenure at the House of Ora, a local Smuggler's depot specializing in the acquisition and covert distribution of historical artifacts, she was introduced to the concept of being paid, not for her backbreaking labors, but for instead simply standing around (and knowing how to use a sword, when called upon). This was both less exhausting and less thrilling; remaining under the House of Ora meant that she retained her status as a slave.
