  I was born into the Solinarus family as the daughter of Kirikka and Erucolindo Solinarus during the fall of Yuri 73. I grew up as a sickly child and often resented my frail body. However, I excelled during school and learned quickly what I was taught.
As I grew older, I would have to choose a path to follow for life. My body limited what physical work I could do, and my thirst for knowledge led me to the path of the mage. As I studied magic, my father encouraged me to join the Buya Imperial Army. I did not know what to say, as I had been restricted physically all my life, but he encouraged me to join a division where the mind, and not the body, was needed to carry out duties. I decided to join the Intel Department under my sibling AmonZul, who was my superior and received weekly reports from me.
However, I drifted away from the army for a period of time, as I felt incomplete and needed to rediscover my meaning for living. I searched through the vast lands of Buya, braved the subzero temperatures of the Arctic, and treaded through the marshes of Hamgyong Nam-Do before I finally discovered my true purpose.
I had been exploring the crypts near the southern reaches of Koguryo and read many names, dates, and quotes that had been inscribed on the tombstones. However, I came upon a grave with a blank slate. The stone was old, but it was clear that the stone had not been marked on originally in any way. Withered flowers lay crumpled next to the grave, but as I lifted them up there was a small journal underneath.
As I opened it and read the faded text on yellowed paper, I realized that the journal had never been signed by the author, but the entries showed how the unnamed individual slowly withered away after his entire family was slain by the Zibong. It was at this point that I knew what I was meant to do - loyalty. If I did not have my family, I would have no purpose in life. My family was the reason that I pursued life. It was my duty to serve my mother and father and to protect the members of the Solinarus family with everything. Just as the forgotten person faded away, I would as well without family to root my existence.
Returning as a renewed person, I contacted my family and friends at the Buya Imperial Army, who had thought me dead after such a long absence. I will rejoin the army and my family, and always remember that in the end, all we have is each other.
