Sorell grew up in Buckland, along the Brandywine River. As a child, and even in her tweens, she would often sit by the dock to watch the Bucklebury Ferry cross from one side of the river to the other. Sorell loves to hear stories of long-forgotten heroes, especially those stories which involve hobbits. Though she loves to hear stories of distant lands and great battles, she has no desire to leave the comforts of the Shire. In fact, she has never even found the courage to enter the Old Forest. Sorell was often a troublemaker in her youth, but has gradually begun to turn back to the straight and narrow road, in large part because of her dreams of someday joining the Bounders. Bounder Nubs assures her that she will be able to join them when she turns 33, which is quite soon.
