Persona
Lanea was born in Ciarraighe in Connacht, the westernmost province of Ireland. She gives no exact birth date, but explains that she was born months after the grasping tyrant Caesar exsanguinated in his reeking capitol. Her people gained wealth as gold merchants and jewelers, which brought them to prominence and allowed them to indulge in eccentricities that were otherwise uncommon in their remote village. Her mother, Máire, is a woman of renowned intelligence and wit who particularly loved listening to stories around the hearth as a child, learning as much as she could from travelers and traders who visited the village her family led. In time, Máire became a midwife, and then a mother herself. Her mate was killed in a trade dispute with a neighboring tribe, and Máire relied on her work and her share of the family fortune to support her children. Máire chose a second partner when Lanea was near the end of her childhood, doubling the number of children in their joined family. Lanea was one of only two girls in the rowdy pack of siblings of mixed parentage. Both girls insisted on engaging in martial training, and Lanea developed her spear, chariot, and command skills alongside her brothers.
Despite the family's wealth, Máire demanded that all of the children in the family engage in meaningful work in the village. Lanea helped tend the gardens, milk, brew, cook, spin, weave, embroider, and sew. She also delighted in following and then attempting to steer local political decisions when councils met within reach. Her rebellious nature occasionally put her at odds with leaders and commanders from other tribes, but Lanea's hospitality, generous gifts to visitors, and family connections shielded her from any lasting oppoprobrium.
Like her mother, Lanea was fascinated by the storytelling and songs that called the family and their frequent guests together in the evening. She showed an early interest in poetry and music composition, and because she displayed great talent in memorization, her family supported her desire to train as a bard.
