Background

Born in Rohan as daughter of a simple farmstead, Aevwyn was destined from than on to not amount to much. However, unlike many other women of her class, Aevwyn became quickly restless and instead was searching for thrill and adventure. 

She quickly was able to trick some people with simple scams and even went out and about stealing from some rich folk. But she never stole from the needy, only from the greedy. 
All while she was doing this she spend her time away, which worried her parents, for Aevwyn was by than just mere 12. But once her puberty arrived, her parents decided to take in charge. 

Age 15: 
However, in her teenage rebellion, she escaped from her parents and her homestead and instead went to Edoras. There she spend a few days as a beggar before committing once again simple thievery. Here she also perfected ways to make her face appear differently, or to blend in with surroundings, or even to change her accent.
Age 17:
However when she stole a golden ring from the Meduseld and Edoras went into full alert, she eventually used her money she collected to quickly fled away before it went on lockdown. 

Doing so she fled to Gondor, where she adopted the mantle of Zoriel. Here she attempted to lie low for a bit and took up a more legitimate way to make money via trading. She accepted to become a pupil of a Belfalas located merchant when he saw the glint of financial understanding in her. While she was there as a merchant's pupil, and sometimes a merchant on her own, she became close with her teachers son. 
However her teacher had none of it and when he found out, dropped her as his pupil. 

Age 20
In a heartbroken state, she wandered the southern Gondorian beaches until a corsair raid came by, in which she was captured. She was brought back, together with other captured people to be sold or sacrificed in Umbar. However, a storm cast the ship on the shield isles and with her thieving-expertise she was able to lockpick her own and others lock. Making an escape. 
She eventually reached the city of Umbar without any property. Here she created the mantle of Pharaphel to hide her rohirrim identity, aswell as using dyes she stole to dye her hair blacker. She quickly resumed her thievering and found out that Umbars layout, with bustling city and labyrintine sewers, made a perfect nesting ground for criminals. And with her thieving she eventually obtained enough money to buy stolen products from other criminals and sell it to rich umbar nobles for almost twice the amount she bought it. Specifically using her learnt merchandise skill in this. 

Age 23:
After three years, Aevwyn, under the guise of Pharaphel, became quite rich and knew that, even in the shadows, it wont be save for her to stay here. And so she bought a crew and a small ship to bring her to the Gwathlo. Hoping to, from there, make her way back into Rohan. However, instead the ship got a river too far and ended up going into the Brandywine. 
Here she betrayed the corsairs she hired when they where face to face with Dunedain rangers, by acting as a hostage. And so ended up in Eriador. She decided against her earlier plan and went north, reaching the town of Bree where she looked todo both legitimate and illegitimate work.

Age 24:
Eventually, under the guise of Ivy Lyffland, joined the Company of the East Road. And while under it, she did a lot more legitimate businesses. But the shadows that lurked in the company also lured her in, where in she thrived. But to avoid creating problems quickly, for Bree was a small town, she spend a lot more time away from the Company's ground.

So did she went to the north of Eriador, specifically Evendim and North downs where she worked both for the company and the Dunedain rangers. Here she avoided doing most of the illegitimate business and mostly spend time helping trade and supplies between different dunedain camps. Though sometimes she went into the ruins of Annuminas where in she often found relics which she handed back to the Dunedain, and so was able to keep and mature good relationship with the Dunedain, bespite what the Company of the East Road did. 
However, she also pocketed trinkets where she can. 

In her time in Evendim, she also married a Dunedain ranger. However the marriage fell apart soon after a stillborn daughter was born, named Leanna. In distraught, Aevwyn, as Ivy Lyffland, spend time away from people, often by herself. And when the rangers where called to go south, she declined to join her husband and stayed in Eriador. 

Age 32:
Eventually, after settling her grief, she went south again, through the empty lands, to find the old Company, reduced to a mere group with little funding. Seeing an opportunity to be useful again and to let her be distracted for her recent ordeals, she decided to immediately work on merchandise and funding, aswell as treasure seeking contracts within the company/
