Personality Description: Generally, an easygoing youth from Midlands with a healthy outlook towards life and strangers. Seeped in Foundry work ethic.
History: The youngest and easily the most restless child of a farming family, Ines never felt at home at the farm that was her home. Her elder siblings had long since carved their niches in the farm’s hierarchy, leaving the impatient girl seemingly no place to call her own. The work at the farm was ceaseless, but Ines felt trapped doing chores that were as dull as they were endlessly repetitive. That being the case, she took a chance at a very young age and sought employment with the Foundry in the Raven’s Bridge.
As expected, the Foundry found a way to work the young girl to the bone. What she had not expected was that she was gradually given more demanding tasks until she was pulled aside from the field to work in an office, where she was first taught reading and numbers. To the date, she remains somewhat oblivious to the reason. Perhaps one of her superiors figured out either her work ethic or knack for solving problems was worth investing in. Eventually, the young woman was taught more complex topics that occupied her mind for a while. Though many others would have seen the good fortune in the development, Ines yearned to return to more active labor.
Considering her tireless work ethic, skills and burning desire for discovery, it may not be that surprising that Ines was intrigued by the tales she heard of the First Province. Curiosity turned into obsession, and the woman spared no effort in securing herself a Quarantine Visa through the Foundry. Ines insists that the amount of work she put towards securing her Visa is nothing sort of herculean. It may be that the young woman is prone to exaggeration, or that her superiors sought to discourage their pupil from stretching out her wings. Either way, the woman could only draw a proper breath once she was guided through the pass and into the province proper. For the first time in her life, she felt that every avenue was open to exploration.
