Background: Tsura was born and raised in a Caravan by her mother and grandmother. She was a very happy child and spent much of her free time during travels talking with her grandmother and learning about plants. how to identify them, their properties and how to combine them to make powders, lotions and tonics. Sometimes she's sit with her mother while she drove and they'd sing ( both offkey) .When the wagons stopped Tsura was either on the lookout for interesting plants or playing games with the other children.
When she was 13 Tsura's grandmother died leaving the girl heartbroken and leading to her spending more and more time with her mother. This ended after a year however when her mother remarried. Though her stepfather was kind to her Tsura felt like he had invaded her world and taken her mother from her. For several years she continued to travel with her family despite the slow distancing of herself from them. This allowed her more time to study her grandmother's book of recipes.
By twenty years old Tsura had begun to master the art of growing, picking and using plants for her purposes. She had taken over her grandmother's roll as the one to come to when you needed a salve for a rash or balm to take away the sting of an insect bite. Still her world was rocked when her mother told her she was pregnant. Tsura felt utterly displaced. her family was now a complete family of their own and while she was a valued member of the caravan she was by no means irreplaceable. She felt then that she had to leave for her own sake and for her families. her mother and step father accepted this and told her though that she was always welcome to come back, to come home.
Still, as Tsura has left the caravan with her small wagon and a pair of Oxen named Copper and Ink the young woman felt that the Caravan was no longer really her home. She has been traveling five years in search of a new one. Using her skills as an herbalist she gets by well enough but each year it's harder.
