The white snow of the Fjordland border with Dhorn was usually undisturbed, few chose to cross the border at places other than the old imperial road, today however there was a shivering figure trekking across the empty wastes.
Thane, clanless of the Fjordlands, nicknamed coward by his own family was moving to Dhorn to escape his many failures and find a new life where no one would know him...
He would arrive in the capital days later, tired and stinking, but would quickly find work as a guard for merchants, and an inn room to rent.


Far away on the other side of the continent a woman was running for her life, she had been one of the few riflemen within the Katushan professional army, and fairly respected for her skill... That is until they found the potions, she had been taking the illegal in Katusha potions to charge her body, and after they were found she had freaked, shooting a superior officer in the leg to facilitate her escape, and she was now being chases across the country, desperately trying to reach Otonada and find the Imperial pass... Surely they would be happy to take in the escaped soldier of their neighbor and rival, or at least let her pass through...
Needless to say she made it, though wounded and exhausted she crossed the border and was allowed to move on... Dhorn was always accepting immigrants who were willing to work...
Finally she made it, though clearly worn down by the long journey on foot, she needed to change the money she had managed to carry, heading to the market, knowing her Katushan coppers would barely get her ant Dhorn currency.

Regulus 'Leo' Courtenay
24 years
--August 1st 1993
Male
--He/him
--Pansexual panromantic
Prince of Artarm
--To Be King
--The Courtenay family power source is that of a simple blue necklace and the contents of what it can do it unknown to even the family

Regulus' front face is always something of cocky. Very sarcastic, playful and has a joy of picking on others. Also the occasional messing with staff he finds attractive and fun to mess with. He has little regard for responsibility and often just likes to party. Seems he is getting his last bit of fun in before being signed into as King. Not quick to anger, but Regulus is very protective of his family and those he considers friends. He is even protective of the slaves and workers of the castle because they matter to him, despite his constant jokes on them. Outside of the shell he protects himself with, Regulus is quiet intelligent and even enjoys playing classical instruments like the violin and piano mainly. He does study for future rule and actually has a caring, romantic and normal side to him.

Taurus Courtenay (Father/About to Retire)
Marielle Courtenay (Mother)
Apollo Courtenay (Older Brother)
Artemis Courtenay (Sister)

Now Regulus appears to have grown up in a normal family structure. Loving parents and siblings that where well places citizens. Yet, that was so far from the case that a deep embed family secret took its place in the minds of the castle. Taurus was a cruel man to his children.
Punishing them for even the slightest mistake and not being the perfect human beings that he wanted. They where never allowed to have friends, go outside and play or even leave their rooms at times. They where homeschooled by tutors who just looked the other way when the beatings came. Taurus would use anything from whips, cigars and anything in reach to punish his children to the upmost extent or when he got tired. This left them with many scars on their bodies.
Though Apollo and Artemis did not have the worst of it, Regulus was the one who suffered the most. Being the middle child, he endured so many hits and even glass breaking onto his back. His chest and back are heavily scarred to this day. Regardless of this, Regulus was determined to be normal. He would play with the workers in the castle at times, he tried to get his siblings to play to no avail, and remained as happy as he could.
This was probably why Regulus was chosen as the heir to the throne. Not Apollo, who was the oldest and tradition stated he rule next, and neither Regulus or Apollo was happy about it. This lead to Regulus demanding to be called 'Leo', as he was named after the constellation, and the rebellious man he is today.

Cordelia Isa
18-22 years old
--December 25th
Trans Feminine
--AMAB
--She/her pronouns
Demisexual homoromantic
Iron Cliffs Healer
--A ram-goat hybrid with the hooved feet, the large ears, and horns
--Makes potions for healing, but does have water bending abilities that allows the healing of larger wounds

Cordelia is a very sweet girl. She loves to help, she can't say no and over all doesn't seem like a bad person. Yet this makes her extreme naive and trusting to even the upmost strangers. Putting herself in danger more often than not and its never made her steer away from helping even harden criminals. She is a person of love and peace, but is scared of her own shadow at times. She is very wise and has a lot of different knowledge from healing, to languages, and some parts of Iron Cliffs hidden history. Cordelia otherwise is a fairly normal girl.

Poinsettia Isa (mother)
Chief Ironhold Wildborn (Step-father)
Dandelion Wildborn (Half-sister)
Nightingale Wildborn (Half-brother)

With Cordelias father having left them behind shortly before her birth, Poinsettia raised Cordelia on her own for about three years. That is when she met one of the Chiefs of the Iron Cliffs, Chief Ironhold, and he assumed position as father over Cordelia. Yet this couldn't have been more of a bad idea. Already having her own mindset at 3 years old, and her mother indulging on her likes and dislikes in the world, Ironhold found these immoral. A man of tradition he believed that men where meant to be the fighters, providers and the like. So to see Cordelia, then going by her mothers given name, Hyacinth, doing things like grounding plants, making potions, long hair and so forth really upset him. Though he never did lay a hand on Cordelia physically, Poinsettia would not stand for such a move on a child that wasn't his, he did emotionally tortured her and mentally as well. Giving backhanded compliments, short handed comments or just plain saying that it wasn't for boys and she should be out playing in the mud.
This worsened when her half-brother Nightingale was born. Now having a son of his own, Ironhold blatantly ignored Cordelia. Hardly acknowledging her when she spoke in family dinners, forgetting her on family outings and the comments and mental pain increased tenfold. Poinsettia never said anything as she never knew what really happened when she wasn't in earshot. This also lead to Nightingale following in his fathers footsteps and hating who his 'sister' was as a person. Cordelia couldn't stay within the house anymore, especially not with another child on the way, so she left home to find the local healer of Iron Cliffs. As they never really had doctors or traditional medical means, bending and potions where their medicine. The healer was an older woman who called herself Madame Azalea. After a few times of being told to go home or that she was being a bother to the woman, she finally gave in and this is where Cordelia has been ever since.
Now the main healer of her small part of Iron Cliffs, this caused a bit of a stirr. Especially when Ironhold came to see Azalea after a fight, his leg cut very deeply and his blood was draining fast. Yet, Cordelia refused to treat him. Causing an outrage against this man who people claimed was her father when no one else wanted her. Still, Cordelia refused to treat the man who chased her from her own home and from her own mother and Ironhold ended up loosing his leg and having it amputated. Giving Cordelia quiet the reputation of being a horrible cause she would not treat their Chief and her step-father. That is when she decided to leave belong Iron Cliffs, and her destination became Dhorn.


Traveling was not hard from Artram to Dhorn. Quiet the distance but it wasn't a peril journey of which one might die or become injured. The figure road on horseback, a large Clydesdale horse that was grey and white speckled and given the name Trojan. Its' rider wore a hooded cloak and the trek was about four to six hours, definitely not a day just yet. Dhorn was a more peaceful place to be, much more composed compared to their homeland of Artram who was known for being chaotic. Always starting a war and the lost of their king, their father, and overtaken shortly after by demons; many sought refuge in another world. Of course they returned home after a few days because of their royal status and the fact their mother would send a whole army troop out to find them.
That was a few days ago now of his trip. Settling in a small apartment they kept renting even when they where away to stay in, and kept the cloak over their body to keep the identity hidden. If anyone was to see that the Prince of Artram was not back in his home city trying to help regain the throne, or taking the throne as was their royal duty, it would be a disaster. So, he walked along the main street of Dhorn, intent on buying some produce for his horse, Aries, and of course food for himself.

Having been staying in Dhorn for about two months now, Cordelia managed to set herself up as a local potions maker as well as a spiritual healer. It was honestly very good and she enjoyed it quiet a bit. No one knew who she was, she was free to be herself, and it was a peaceful life. Today she was sat outside her shop with a table, weaving some pendants together with twine and gemstones, just enjoying the bustling voices of the city and her peace of mind.

The day was fairly sunny, barely a cloud in the sky and a light breeze keeping it from getting too warm, this was a rare day within the kingdom known for it's dark and cold days, it was of course, a sign of things to come, as travellers and locals alike roamed Main street a dark cloaked man worked feverishly over a pile of corpses...


Thane grunted as he made his way down the street looking for a healer, his last job had been more dangerous than expected, and a would be bandit had managed to get behind him, slashing across his back with a rusted blade that barely held together, he was lucky to have avoided any infection or rot... That would have been the end of him before he could even return!
It was not however a healer that he encountered, while distracted by thinking over the battle and looking for lessons to teach himself, he walked right into a cloaked man! Though he did not know at the time... He had nearly bowled over royalty.
"Damn my absent mind... Are you well sir?..."
He left the word hanging, as with the cloak there he couldn't assume too much.


Lennith has a but of a bounce in her step as she too searched for a healer or alchemist, as she had expected her Katushan currency was practically worthless in an exchange... However she had not counted on the country's limited copper supplies, and selling the coins for the material worth had given her a small bit of spending money, any normal person would likely save it... But she had a goal, the potions she had used so far had been left behind, and had been poorly made anyway, she needed some new ones.
She was to be disappointed repeatedly... Most alchemists didn't bother to learn the formulas necessary, and she got quite a few odd looks before her eye was caught... By gemstones?
She hurried over to look at the necklaces, looking for pricing, while words were beyond her she could at least read numbers!
 
Having been deciding over whether or what apples and carrots where good or maybe a sweeter treat for Aries would be better, he hadn't noticed really anyone coming by. Trying to avoid the people that bustled near the shops and vendors so he kept quiet close to the fruits and vegetables he had been looking at. Yet as fate would have it, someone bumped into him and he stumbled forward a bit but caught himself before he could knock the whole display down. Turning to give this guy an annoyed few words about being careful and that this persons vending spot was a hardwork, blah blah blah. Yet upon looking at this much taller, seeming a knight or something, man Regulus gave a second though. Mostly because this guy looked like he was very hurt and hadn't yet sought medical attention or simply couldn't afford to be in a local mercenary.
"Yeah, I'm alright," Was his response with a concerned tone to his voice, and a raised eyebrow in question, "You on the other hand look like you need a good few shots of whiskey and a sewing kit," Was it common to see this sort of sight here? Back home it was always like someone was hurt and/or dying at some point cause medicine was hard to come by for anyone. So, should he get this guy to someone who can help or just hope that he doesn't die while standing here with him?


The name of the different necklaces, bracelets and other accessories where written in her home language of The Cliffs. Numbers where universal of course, and Cordelia brightened upon seeing someone come to her stand. The young hybrids' rounded sheep ears perked slightly, "Hello! I am sorry for the poor language skills of my writing, but if you have questions on anything please ask! Each piece is meant for healing, helping, protecting and the like," Her gems came from Iron Cliffs, and she blessed different ones with different spells, hence the writing, and could do anything from being a healing stone to just simple protection or luck. Some even had the potential of giving power to someone.

Thane was quickly able to determine that he had run into someone wealthy, the cloak was obviously intended to hide their identity, and judging from the way he held himself the stranger was clearly not a criminal or common worker, likely at least some minor noble or powerful merchant, all of which led to Thane believing he was about to have a terrible day! He was no coward but still struggled with certain social situations that could be described as scary.
Of course the response was far different from his expectations and he let out a quiet sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you're okay then... And yeah... I could use both to be honest, I was just looking for a good healer in my price range, you wouldn't happen to know of one would you? I'm fairly new to Dhorn, this city especially".
She he'd nearly bowled the man over but he was seemingly polite so surely asking for directions wasn't too much? Especially as the stranger seemed concerned about his wounds.


Lenn winced as the woman mentioned her poor language skills, reminded of her own lack of reading or writing skills, she had had to dictate letters to a scribe to message people... It had been a supposedly discrete scribe that sold her out as trans feminine... Still, a little longer And she would have been caught anyway, she was becoming more feminine and her mosquito bite of a chest would hopefully soon grow... That is if she could find more potions!
"Umm... I'm uhh... Not very good at reading... Could you tell me about some of them?"
She asked, embarrassed at admitting even partially to get illiteracy.
 
These amber eyes gave off this glow under his hood and he gave a small look before responding, "I am also not from Dhorn, so I do not know of any medics or healers near here," So he wasn't that useful around here, but he didn't want to speak too long to someone. Regulus just wanted to head home before it got to late, or get back to his horse to feed him. Just not get recognized in this city as it wouldn't make his parents happy nor siblings to be seen so far from his home. "But, I did see a goat lady selling some healer objects. Maybe she would be able to help?" She could just be a huge liar about being a healer and just selling phony crystals, but who knows. She might know something.


Cordelia only offered to help as some tribes in the Cliffs spoke very strange, distance languages that no one even knew existed. So, she just wanted to offer help in understanding the uses and everything, "Well, it depends on what you're looking for. I have crystals for protection, power, healing, sleep, so on," She offered a very sweet smile and her curled brown hair bounced with her happy little hop. Something about this woman seemed oddly familiar...not in the sense that they have met before, but more as she has seen this situation before. Her own transition wasn't extraordinary as she has always had access to magic, free will and the like. Though she would never share that as many people like to compare and others had it worse, "Are you looking for say maybe a protection? You look like you might work in a protection spot,"

"Ahh, blast it, guess I'll have to run into someone else for directions, though thanks for telling me about the healer... It seems people in Dhorn don't talk to strangers on the street..."
Thane mumbled, looking the man up and down, well, at least he'd run into someone attractive, maybe he could try his luck and ask him out for a drink... Hopefully he wouldn't get slugged in the face for his trouble, the people here were so much ruder than back home... Though he supposed that wasn't home anymore.
Right before he could ask though a loud crash and several screams chorused from nearby... A wall had collapsed and a dozen corpses were stumbling out of the hole.
"By the gods... Undead!"
Thane drew his blade and ran towards them, ignoring His wounds, the guards would take time to arrive in force and if someone didn't do something people would be slaughtered! Besides... He wanted to show off!

Lenn carefully looked over the wares as if trying to pick one, mostly she was thinking about how pretty they were, though they did sound useful, especially the protection... But ultimately she couldn't spend her money on them, she had more important things to buy!
"Umm... Well I'd love to buy one... But my funds are limited and I had a different goal... Would you happen to know of an alchemist who might brew niche transformative potions?... S...specifically those for... Particularly masculine looking women..."
Of course before she could even get an answer things went to shit, she could smell the undead even before seeing them, and crouched down instinctively, one hand on her short sword, the other clutching her rifle protectively.

Had to agree that Dhorn civilians where more shut in than most but after a history like theirs, who wouldnt want to talk to an outsider. Regulus gave a small nod was about to welcome him and continue on his way to Aries. It was much late and as much as he loved a hunk of meat, his cocky personality was subsided for the rush to not worry mother. Even with his father mysterious vanishing, they still hold power and technically Regulus was to lead in his absence.
Of course nothing ever went to fucking plan in this world. The wall collapsing caused a great stirr in the merchant goers, but then undead started to crawl or stumble through. Bringing rancid decay scent and this fear that grabbed most by the heart. Watching the injured gaurd run straight into the thick of it as people ran in the opposite direction. This fucking idiot! How can he fight if he is already so hurt? Did most guards have a death wish?? Instinct told to run as fast as possible and as far as he could, blend with the crowd and make his escape on Aries to home. Fighting the undead was a constant with travel, but Regulus was a simple human. No powers or training in defense.
Then the cold stone that pressed against his chest started to burn with the rising threat and Regulus just sitting idly by. No one must know that a member of the Courtenay family was days from the city. Let alone the prince meant to take control of the damn city itself. Still he looked around and gave small growl before following suit, couldn't just let the guy die for sure.


Now her jewelry wasnt for everyone and most liked her healer aspects. So when asked about transfigutration potions and the specific kind, she was going to say that she could do such thing. Transfigutration wasnt too bad and she has done it before with great outcomes, so why not? Then this woman crouched down and grab her sword, and Cordelia gave a confused look. Now the undead was uncommon in the Cliffs, and she hasnt come across them since moving here. Also, they where hiding creatures and kept up high for protection so fighting was out of the question. She backed up in fear and gave a look.

Fighting while hurt was normal enough for Thane, even back in his old home in battles against the usurper the loyalist forces were often halfway to death as they struggled against the demon backed forces that never seemed to tire, simple undead like these were also far easier to kill than a Human in any situation! After all, humans had the advantage of thought and free will while these were just mindless puppets.
He was the first to reach the undead, a partially skeletal corpse in a tattered guard uniform, it didn't even have a chance to raise it's arm before he sliced into it, making it half way through the rotted torso and knocking the zombie down in a single, stomping his steel boots onto it's face to get leverage as he pulled the blade back out and continued the fight even as his wounds opened, blood starting to soak his shirt.


Lenn's readiness proved worthwhile as she soon spotted a zombie in thick armor charging towards them, likely looking to eliminate any healers... A normal warrior would struggle against it, but she could see it's weakness, the head was only partially covered!
Leaving her sword be she drew her rifle, loaded a round, took aim... And fired, the deafening crack of the rifle filling her ears as the round flew right into it's face, knocking the monster over.
Of course that wasn't enough damage to break the animation spell... So she drew her short sword and pushed it through holes in the downed undead's armour until it stopped moving.
 
This is stupid, this is stupid, why am I fucking doing this Was the process that Regulus' mind ran through as he followed what few people decided to jump into battle. Watching this guard he just literally ran into fight like nothing was a fucking bother. Now Regulus had no knowledge in sword fighting or anything up close and personal like that, more so archery as it was a trade in Artram, and of course whatever powers this stupid slice of sapphire decided to give him. So to run into this without any sort of weapon was so fucking stupid, and he should turn tail and head back as no one was going to see who he was or what he did as of right now.
Shit luck seemed to hit Regulus hard; literally. A large zombie had taken his hesitation to make a move, and rammed Regulus right off his feet. It was a large zombie with large seemingly moving masses on its back. A older undead than the others, and more feral to attack for no reason. Snarling and trying to get any sort of latch onto his flesh, but a flash of bright blue like spread up and out like a bubble. Throwing the undead away and impaling itself on a tree branch. So, Regulus took this as he needed to get the fuck out of here. The signature blue color and power to show that of the Artram family line, and Taurus himself before he vanished. Regulus bolted back for the houses without a seconds hesitation. Today was not the day to fucking die.

A loud crack is what sent Cordelia fleeing into her home, slamming the door behind her and peering out the window in fear. Watching this woman fight so fluidly against something so veil was not what she wanted to be apart of. The ram hybrid was not a creature of fighting, and wished she had some where higher to climb up into like back home. Why was this happening now? Dhorn had been a safe place for the last few years and now suddenly their wall can cave in and let in this undead creatures?

It was fortunate that the city guard were so used to sudden attacks by the undead, and had soon rallied a sizable force that slaughtered the remaining zombies without them taking more than minor wounds themselves, the necromancer escaped however, having likely changed and escaped before unleashing what was probably some sort of experiment, necromancers always seemed to be running tests which is why the travelled to Dhorn with it's many corpses despite the danger from an Army used to hunting them and their undead minions.

The fighting had proven too much for Thane, he had stumbled off towards where he had seen a healer's stalk earlier, barely conscious as his lifeblood poured out from wounds that had nearly killed him when he received them, and while not nearly as bad now, they still had the potential to end him.

Lenn's nerves were understandably on edge as she put her rifle away, her training had coveted undead but she had not fought them before... The way they just... Kept going after a fatal wound was terrifying to her! And to top things off an armoured one was shambling towards her! However before she could draw her sword... He collapsed with a very Human groan, bleeding from more wounds than she knew how to deal with.
"Eek! Umm... Don't worry sir... I'll uhh... Help!"
She called out.
 
The ram remained in her home until she saw the woman yell out to someone, and then a man collapsed to the ground shortly there after. Her eyes widen and instantly left the house and scurried down the stairs to them. Grabbing a bowl of water that had seemingly been placed onto the table for the pendants she was making, but really it was her healing water. From the Falls located deep within the Cliffs back home and housed miraculous healing powers. Some say it could heal the mind of a mental illness one day.
Cordelia put the bowl down beside the armored man, and then started to move armor away from wounds to get to them better. The armor was heavy, but thankfully she moved them more aside rather than taking them off. Making sure he was still some what breathing before lifting her hand over the bowl. Almost instantly the water lifted from the bowl and up towards Cordelias' hand. Bending the water around into a flat shape, before pressing it onto what seemed to be older wounds. They where the worse with the most blood, and what she could reach first, and the water started to glow a very soft blue-green color. Healing with water bending was a common source of care in the Cliffs, and one shes somewhat mastered enough to not kill someone at first sight.

Lennith watched in a sort of hopeless terror as the man bled out, it reminded her too much of her old squadmates who had fallen in battle with bandits or rogue magical beasts, she had tried to help then too, but locked up as she realized her own medical ability was nowhere near enough, especially as she'd used her supplies on her own wounds while travelling, many of which still hurt.
Her fear soon became awe as she watched the healer at work, fighting back certain death with what looked to be simple water! It reaffirmed her belief that magic was awesome, unfortunately Lenn had a zero compatibility with any type of magic, just a good eye and steady hands.
"That's.... Amazing! How did you do that? I mean... Wow..."
She didn't even attempt to hide her awe.
 
Cordelia was use to healing guards or fighters with armor or in the midst of a fight. Back home many of her kind where trained to fight if anyone got too close to their homes or up the cliffs actually, so she did not flinch as much at the blood. Mainly cause she did not touch it at least, and sighed, letting the water drop back into the bowl before looking at the woman. The ram gave a sheepish smile, her cheeks reddening, "The water is from the healer falls back in Iron Cliffs, and many of my people know how to bend the water to activate how it heals," She replied and stood up to check the mans body for pulse. He would be out, but he won't die any time soon, "Can you grab his other side? We should get him inside so he can wake up in comfort,"

"Wow... We didn't have anything like that in Katusha, at least, I don't think so... Most people never got to see a healer, well, unless you counted the inquisition's 'mind healers'."
It was clear by the tone in her voice that in Katusha Mind healer meant something VERY different, and judging by their connection to something called the Inquisition, it probably wasn't too hard to guess their real job.
"Can do!"
She picked him up with ease, she may have lost some muscle mass but Lenn was still a soldier and kept very fit, her muscle was something she was proud of.
"In your house? Or somewhere else?"
She questioned, ready to follow her lead.
 
"Into the house, I have a spare room he can rest in comfortably and it'll be easier to remove his armor and wrap up what wounds are open," Cordelia said and held the door open for her to bring him in. A mind healer? She has heard of them before, but they ran more on a religious belief than a healing one. At least what she experienced was that. Cordelias' home was a two bedroom cottage with the living room and kitchen in one big room, with a small hallway off to the right of the door. A bathroom was enclosed behind a door, an empty renovated room it seemed, a closed door then the guest room. With a simple bed, dress, and many hippy paintings or pictures hung up or decorations. The ram gestured for her to place the man on the bed, hopefully getting the armor off would be easier.

"Ahh, very well..."
She carried him as requested, inwardly shocked at this woman allowing two strangers into her house! Back in her old home no one trusted strangers that much, you never know if they would rob you, kill you or worse... Never mind the chance that you were accidentally doing something against the tens of thousands of laws of the hated inquisition... Yet despite everyone despising it they all still supported the whole thing...
She placed the man on the bed and set to work removing his armour with professional speed, that was one thing her limited medical training had fought her at least... Well at least she wanted to say that, this skill came from the Katushan policy to strip the dead on either side of the conflict, or civilians who got caught in between.
Not sure what to do Lenn sort of stood back, she was used to taking orders to deal with stress and anxiety...
 
Cordelia watched her remove the armor without question, and she blinked but took the chance to grab some wraps. Wrapping up his chest and arms, or other places that hadn't fully closed just yet. She had strangers in her home quiet often. Being a very decent healer and one who didn't charge unless it was something beyond her abilities, she got a lot of business for warriors or civilians. Then looked to the woman, and gave a sweet smile, "I am Cordelia, by the way, and let me get you something," She stood and vanished into the seemingly empty room. Then returned with a small case of jars, "You asked about transfiguration spells, and these are ones I've been using. They work better sometimes than what most alchemists can make, ya know?"

Thane's body was coveted in scars, some worse than others, and even one that looked like it was from a large burn, he had clearly been through quite a few battles in his life already.
Lenn was surprised by the woman introducing herself but quickly recovered and remembered her manners.
"My name is l...Lennith, though most call me Lenn..."
Wow, that was the first time she introduced herself with her new name... It felt good.
She looked at the jars as it seemed to hit her and glanced towards the woman in shock, she knew she herself was easy to read... But Cordelia... She would never have guessed!
"I... Wow... Thank you! And umm... I would never have guessed... You know..."
She suddenly reached for her coin purse to pay, though had a look of fear... She was worried this was some sort of trap like back home.
 
"Ive always been more girly looking even as a kid," Cordelia said with a chuckle and a sheepish smile. She just sort of went with it and didnt really have a whole battle with herself over being who she is. Though seeing her reach for the coin bag, the ram grabbed her arm softly, "No need for that, being from a place like Katusha, you need them far more than I do right now," Also a benefit of being to make her own and change them based on needs or wants. Also, Lenn was a trustworthy person who literally fought a zombie in front of her house. So the least she could do at least.
