   My name is Carlein Courcelle, sister of Arionchui.  I lived in the
   far away kingdom of Kaya with my mother, father, and sister.  Our
   family was loving, supportive and nearly perfect until tragedy and
   misfortune struck us.  All of our belongings were taken from us,
   and both of my parents were killed once our hut was set afire by
   invading forces.  My sister and I were then separated.

   I was sent to live with my grandfather, but he was a drunken fool
   who paid little attention to me and treated me like dirt.  I did not
   particularly care for him, so once he passed away I gathered a good
   amount of gold and traveled to Buya.  Upon arriving in Buya I knew
   no one and had no where to go.  Work was hard to find for such a
   young woman like myself, so I dedicated my time and efforts to the
   arts.  I soon joined the Muse Guild of Buya and bettered the
   community with fine entertainment and wine. 

   Amazingly enough, Buya was where my sister and I were reunited.
   As we were both on our way to the marketplace we happened to
   stumble upon eachother.  Conversation was made and old memories
   were shared.  Over time my relationship with Arionchui was rebuilt
   and we have stayed close ever since.

   Over the years I grew lonely, yet always found myself stuck in odd
   relationships, unable to find decent companionship.  Marriage after
   marriage passed, but they all turned out unsuccessful.  I spent a
   good amount of time heartbroken and drinking at the inns.  Right
   when I thought I would never find true love I met a tall, sturdy
   man with a bad temper and a crooked smile.  He was from Nagnang,
   and called himself Kaouwaski.  We quickly fell in love and married.

   Unfortunately, he was called away to distant lands for business,
   leaving me behind.  Rumors spread that he was murdered, but I
   refuse to believe them.  I have faith he will return to me ... someday.
  
   Surprisingly enough, Arionchui had married a young and rich man
   named Warik.  After their marriage Arionchui had broke away from
   the Myoshi family, they had taken the name of Courcelle.  With
   open arms they both welcomed and excepted me into their family,
   leaving me with the name Carlein Courcelle.

   To this day I am still a proud member of the Muse Guild of Buya,
   although I now reside in Nagnang.  Now my family and I stand
   together, sharing our strong values of love, honor, courage, and
   perseverance.  We are the Courcelle family, born of love, and we will
   stick together and not let anyone tear us apart.
