My name is Haleema Addams.  I am the sister of Sundae Addams.  I spent much of my childhood in the village of Tangun.  One of my earliest memories is of my mother, working in the small wheat field next to our humble abode.  I had grown up believing I was an only child.  My father was a fisherman, my mother did a bit of farming.  I spent my days doing a little of both to help them. When I had free time I wondered the village on my own. Walking the dirt path through the village, throwing stones into the nearby stream, nodding in acknowledgment to our elderly neighbors as I passed.  Not much went on in the sleepy village of Tangun, but it was home and my heart treasured it.

I met and fell in love with a rogue named Petros.  From the instant we met, I knew he was my husband.  We got engaged when we were quite young and married later on.  As I grew older,  a yearning to see the kingdoms had been lit like a fire inside my heart.  A whisper on the winds, calling me, enticing me to venture outside of sleepy Tangun.  Where I had once leisurely laid in a patch of Pink mugunghwas, contemplating the day without a care, I soon found impossible to do.  I was content with my home, and yet I always felt that I was missing something - that out in the kingdoms, I could discover what was so amiss!

When I was of age to enter the kingdoms on my own, my parents sadly passed away.  However, the saddness was brief, for I discovered that I had a sister!  I do not know of what events brought about our seperation at birth - for the mystery passed on with my parents' death.  I was elated to be reunited with my older sister, Sundae!  It seems like we had known each other for ages!  Since then, I've spent my recent Hyuls in the city of Buya.  Sundae was part of the Elendhirin clan, and so I too joined to be with her.  Often times, Sundae and I can be found together at the gates of Buya, or else in our clan hall, catching up with the quality time that we had missed when we were younger.

I soon became friends with Sundae's husband, saint.  He seemed strange to me at first (he was always departing as quickly and silently as he had arrived!), but I soon discovered that we got along splendidly!  Sundae, saint, Petros - this is my family.  My home is where my family is, the treasures of my heart.  I am proud to call them my family.
