Background and Talents:

Born into a family of servants, Siora Craynore's life took an unexpected turn when her musical talents drew the attention of the young master of the Frost household, Bastien. Growing up alongside his family, Siora and her younger sister, Leera, played freely on the estate grounds until their roles shifted from playmates to servants.

Siora's passion for music manifested early on, and she became proficient in singing, dancing, and later, playing both the harp and lute. Her enchanting voice had a unique ability to soothe even the most turbulent moods, earning her the unwanted attention of Bastien. Siora's musical prowess became both a source of solace for the Frost household and a tool for manipulation.

Turning Point and Complications:

Siora's life took a dark turn when she fell for one of the young bards in a traveling minstrel band. Determined to seek a better life beyond the confines of the Frost estate, she attempted to leave with the band. However, Bastien, refusing to lose his newfound pawn, accused the minstrels of crimes they did not commit and imprisoned them.

To ensure Siora's compliance, Bastien orchestrated a series of "accidents" involving her parents, while her younger sister, Leera, was kept captive as a close handmaid to Bastien's stepmother. Siora found herself trapped in a web of manipulation and coercion, forced into Bastien's personal service. Her musical talents were now used for espionage, infiltrating social circles to gather information and serving as a distraction and seductress at Bastien's behest.

Escape and Reckoning:

Siora's fortunes changed when Leera and a sympathetic member of Bastien's own entourage decided to take matters into their own hands. Leera fled the estate, with Siora following swiftly behind, understanding that Bastien would stop at nothing to maintain control. A race is on, to who will find Leera first, if Leera is his true goal or not, Siora's is uncertain but she must protect her sister.

Motivation:

Siora's primary motivation is to protect her sister and break free from the shackles of Bastien's control. The trauma of her family's suffering and the realization of the dark path she was forced down have ignited a determination in her to find justice and redemption. Siora seeks to use her musical talents not as a tool for manipulation but as a source of empowerment and healing for herself and those she cares about.
