Ravaska was born in the high northern mountains above a small village within the confines of her childhood home. Her father one of black caste was adamant on keeping them safe and from harms reach and so they lived where reach was indeed difficult but not impossible. When she was but 6 her father was sent on an assassination far from home. In his absence men came who they were Ravaska didn’t know but her mother demanded her to run upon seeing them. She hid for two days before hunger finally drove her out of finding and back towards her home. Upon her return she saw the bright flames of her mother’s funeral pyre. The men had killed her and her father had though taken Ravaska as vengeance for who knows which of his tasks he always carried out with precision. He had sworn over his wife’s body he would retrieve her but as he glanced through the flames there she was coming towards him. That day he took her to another home within the mountains one only his brothers knew of. From then on her only company was her father and the beasts of the mountains.
No longer allowed into the villages for fear she would be recognized. He told those who asked that his wife had been murdered and his daughter found dead in the woods and he himself had moved on. She spent the remainder of her days there with her father teaching her all that she should know and would need to know in the case that he didn’t come home. Her gardening and herbs kept her busy when her father was gone. She learned to hunt and to fight under her father’s guidance and tutelage blending her knowledge of herbs into her defensive strategies. In that time she also learned to make hybrids of her various plants which she now uses and sells most often for healing purposes.
Some years later when she had grown into a woman her father left on his most recent task. As he often did he told her little more than he would be returning in a few days’ time once he had completed it. In the few days that passed however and return he did not. A week later in accordance with his wishes his brothers of the black brought him home and simply laid his body upon the doorstep. However one did not follow his instructions and leave so quickly. He would later state it was because he wished to be sure his fallen brother was cared for and not just left in the open to feed the beasts. It was to his surprise when in the morning the door was drawn open and the raven haired beauty that looked nearly identical to her mother collapsed to the ground at the fallen assassin’s side and sobbed openly.
Her father’s assassin brother came forward and though she was not trusting of him he helped her to properly care for her father’s body and send him into the next life. The man’s name was Kargot and for all that he was she saw something within him that brought a shudder to her very soul. Once her father’s body was cared for she left her home to travel the lands of Gor.
