Background: Lavinia was born in the town of Orchissa. when her younger sister was just a child their parents perished in a fire that tore through most of the eastern side of their small city. Lavinia raised her younger sister on her own in a small, two room home gifted to them by the militia’s general. Lavinia trained in the bow to hunt for food and later turned it into a profession, providing meat, materials, and hides to the people of the city. She and Artes grew up close, the man often following Lavinia around and pestering her. She realized it was futile trying to shake him off and begrudgingly allows him to tag along with her when he finds her. She secretly finds him endearing, platonically. She will refuse to acknowledge this if asked. Lavinia briefly engaged in a passionate tryst with Carsis when he came to town, though the both of them were emotionally closed off from one another, and ended their encounters shortly after. They maintain a professional, slightly strained friendship. Lavinia spends most of her mornings out of the city in the outlying woods, hunting for game to bring home to feed the city and her sister. She has sheltered her irresponsible sister heavily, and refuses to allow her to leave the city for fear of her being captured or killed by Romans or wild animals. She can be overbearing with her protectiveness. She is a skilled archer and capable of combat if necessary but would never go out of her way to fight if she believed it would cause trouble or risk to her sister or the city.

Setting: Ancient Greece. A fictional city named Orchissa on the outskirts of Greece. Greece is at war with the Romans, and both sides engage in battles regularly in the land between cities and villages. The Romans have been known to advance in to towns and territories to occupy them with their forces. the roads between cities and villages are perilous to cross due to the battlefields and enemy forces moving between encampments. The Romans and Grecians ambush each other’s forces, trade vehicles, and travelers on the trails. The Romans regularly take prisoners to their encampments to find out information about their enemies.

The town of Orchissa has yet to be invaded, but the fighting draws closer to their borders, and they have put together a local militia to protect the town in case of invasion. Most of the militiamen are volunteers who have not seen much actual combat and are inexperienced with battle. The citizens almost all know each other and are a tight-knit community that trade goods and services between them amicably.
