Yann was abandoned along side a bunch of other children during a war. She and the group of children hid in the forest in hopes of shelter but a bunch of bandits found them and captured them intending to sell them.

She observed the bandits as they trained, fought and pillaged others. Copying and perfecting their movements. The bandits brought the children to their ring leader, who used many of the lives of the children to gain power and money.

Haunted by the voices of wailing and screaming children, Yann was able to break free during a night, stealing a dagger and escaping as the last living child.

She stumbled into some traveling assassins who decided to train her.
