Seline has never really said much about her past life before taking up as a mercenary. Born in a small farming village in the Carpathian mountains to an older couple, her peculiar attributes had her labeled more monster than human by her more superstitious neighbors.
Still those same ‘defects’ helped defend their town against the predators that would descend on the livestock pens or against bandits intent on a quick profit. As she grew older however, it was made clear to her that this wasn’t going to be a place where she would be welcome as anything but a superior guard dog that could communicate better than any of the other mongrels that watched the flocks.
So when her elderly parents died, she packed up and left without a glance back. Life in the wider world was difficult. Her animal-like mutations weren’t entirely hidden, nor were they regarded with anything resembling acceptance; Seline knew that she would struggle regardless of where she went until she managed to learn how to hide in plain sight.
So, she turned to being hired for what she could do. If she couldn’t help the claws or the superior senses then she would make every effort to get paid for what she did.
Subtle and lethal when required, she earned herself a reputation of being able to deal with almost anything without calling attention to herself. It was that reputation that had her traveling all over Europe, word of mouth recommending her to those that needed the talents of someone so discrete.
