Born and raised of a long line of horsemen in Rohan on her father's side and of bard's to her mother's side

Aoefa is quiet, shy and although has basic reading, writing and math skills would never be classed as educated, unless she visits Bree where the folk there believe her to be so.

Her mother is an insipid, pale and weak persona who on the face of it defies her lineage, many of whom are renowned Bards and entertainers of Rohan. Her father, a loving and kind man was tragically killed in a horse stampede when moving them from the West to the East of Rohan for safety when she was a young child.  The family were newly settled in the East and not too far from Gondor when the tragedy struck.

When her mother remarried a few years later to a heavy handed man who ruled with a iron rod her older brother Breen, sick of the step father being cruel to him and his sister left with some of his father's finest horses planning to set out breeding his own herd outside of Bree at a farm. She regularly goes to help out when things are unsettled at home.  Although she hates her step father, referring to him as 'The Bull' in private and to her mother and brother, she thinks her mother weak to remain with him and stays to keep watch over her but knows not for how much longer. Now she is grown her mother refuses to join with her to leave for Bree, her brother and the safety and security that affords to them.  She is also sick of her mother turning her head when Aoefa takes a beating from The Bull and for not standing up to his control.  She is becoming a quiet rebellion after all the years abuse.

Her upbringing has had an effect on Aoefa in that she seldom meets a person's gaze, something she has oftentimes been beaten for as The Bull sees it as challenging behavior. She remains reserved, quiet and deemed shy by friends and neighbors.
