If you're anything like me, you couldn't help but give your Reader some backstory and motivations. I can't help it, I rp everything I touch.

My reader was a scholar back in the Commonwealth, and she knew reading wasn't allowed, but couldn't help herself. She had no family and very few friends, and her books were her comfort. It was something of a relief to be cast down into the Downside and then have to use her reading to help her new friends.

She loved all of her fellow exiles, even Volfred, who she remained suspicious of for some time. Her kind heart made her sad for those of the other teams who she couldn't let go free, but she was determined that her friends, her family would have their liberation, even if it meant she would never get to leave herself.

She didn't think too much of the will of the Scribes, but she knew that together, they could do anything, and she proved it to them, guiding them through the rites time and time again.

In order, she freed Hedwyn, Rukey, Jodariel, Sir Gilman, Fae, Pamitha, and Oralech. In the end, she anointed Volfred, but when it came time for her to choose, she picked Oralech, honoring the choice that was made before her.

She lived out the rest of her days in the Downside, studying and writing with Volfred, learning things from Bertrude, missing her friends, but so proud of them all.
