Athiena was born on a farm just outside Bree and was raised by loving parents who unfortunately died during a brigand raid. She was on a grand adventure at the time of the raid, out in the fields. She was only five years old.

For a long time after that, she lived under the care of her Aunt and Uncle before moving on to work as the head cook under Lord Gerwolf and Lady Addiel. The work satisfied her greatly, the praise she received from the Lord and Lady of House Thalanduin fueling her passion to be even better at her job. Even though she had made many friends she won't soon forget, Athiena realized she didn't want to be stuck in a kitchen for the rest of her life and eventually decided it was time for her to move on. A tad regretfully, she handed in her resignation and hit the road.

Now a wanderer and living her life as a free spirit, Athiena doesn't like staying in once place for long. Traveling often from town to town and camping under the stars. Having learned to hunt earlier in her life, she is quite skilled in living off the land and providing food for herself. On the odd occasion, she'll stay long enough to pick up some work, saving up for the next half of her adventure, or at least paying for a warm bed during winter.
