Renfri was born in Edoras, but good luck getting her to talk about it. Every person who asks Renfri about her past and her parents gets a different answer: they were wealthy merchants, or her father was a lord, or she was the offspring of a Thane and his mistress. Every new backstory Renfri creates is just as wild and extravagant as the last one. Anyone who knew Renfri as a child probably doesn't know her as an adult, and she prefers to keep it that way.

But if one did know Renfri as a child, then they know that she grew up in a comfortable household with two parents and a whole hoard of siblings. She wrestled in the mud and she attended writing lessons. Even as a child, Renfri was hard to pin down, she was a free spirit with a permanent sense of wanderlust. And when her brothers were called to arms, she donned her own armour and joined them.

If anyone were to ask Renfri what her occupation was, she would say a prostitute, a hunter, a sellsword, or anything else that fit her mood at the time. She doesn't appear to have any close friends, and she doesn't seem to have one place she calls home. Renfri is notoriously slippery, she refuses to answer any question honestly and sometimes won't even lie at all, and will refuse to answer. Her family would say that she was never quite the same when she came back with her brothers and that her fire and spirit had died out when the war ended.
