Meet Siobhán, or Shiv for short! She's the mother of one of my other characters, Ravynn!
Shiv was once a rogue assassin until birthing Ray. She lost her poor daughter in a shipwreck out at sea, where they were on the way home to meet Ray's father. Alas, the ship was caught in a huge storm and capsized the boat. The fates were both kind and cruel in that each goblin survived, but they were separated-- Ravynn, the little toddler, washed ashore in one coastal town, while Shiv washed ashore in a town further away. It was in this wreck, too, that Shiv's arm was so badly mangled that the person who found her had to amputate it.
The little goblin was crushed, heartbroken, thinking she'd lost her child. The old soothsayer that had found her, however, shared a vision that her daughter was very much alive! Though the soothsayer was not certain as to where.
Shiv vowed that she would find her daughter and runite with her. Only then could she return home.
And so, shiv spent the better part of twenty years searching for Ravynn.
To find her, many years later, in a little town called Augerstone Hollow. And after some tumultuous events, some heartbreak, some healing, Shiv eventually settled in Augerstone to be near her daughter, and to catch up with all the time she missed spending with her as a child. Ravynn may be grown, but Shiv promised her that she would be there for her from here on in, no matter what.
Of course, settling in town means finding a job! And after some hesitation and honest conversation about her past with the town Sheriff and his son, she managed to secure a position amidst the Augerstone constabulary (and get a working prosthetic built for her arm!) We shall see what life unfolds for Shiv once she lands in the story... But right now, things are pretty good.
