Legends of Belariath
Minx
Mishanna Creed was born in a small village called Northshire, approximately 19 years before she found her way to Nanthalion. A rather simple life for the little girl, being raised mostly by her father, as her mother died when she was just a little over the age of 3, from sickness.
Her father took the young girl away from the village, and back to his roots. He was a ranger, and when the girl's mother died, he decided to return to that lifestyle. He took Mishanna with him, and raised her in the patch of woods outside Northshire, where he kept a cabin. From the time she was three, to the age of about fourteen, she learned to hunt, clean, and cook her own food. She learned to gather, and store berries, nuts, meat, etc. Upon returning home one day from a hunt, she found her father had also passed away. She had no reason to stay where she was, reminded of the family she no longer had. So she began to travel.
The girl began to travel then under the assumed name of Minx, and for a year she did so alone. She managed to charm a thief one day, who had means of stealing her pouch, and instead she stole his heart. They became best friends, and traveled together permanently afterward. His name was Rekos, and he was consistantly by her side, and she by his. Inseperable. It was this friend that brought her into the land of Nanthalion, five years after their meeting. The young man consistantly managed to get them in trouble, stealing and causing them to have to be on the run a lot. Happening upon the Lonely Inn, lost and with only her friend in the world, the two managed to stay there. Rekos disappeared, only to return now and again to see her. There, she stays now.. either in her room in the inn, or a small campsite in the woods.
