History: Her history is shrouded in mystery and it’s mostly because she wishes it to be that way. If found out, she is worried that people will come after her to drag her back home against her will so they can collect the reward for her return. Because you see, she is a runaway thought to be kidnapped and she is no peasant girl either.
She is the daughter of a wealthy family in Wardwood’s verion of “Russia”. And she hated that life. She knew her future entailed her being married off to the best suitor and becoming entrapped in what society thought women of the noble class where meant to do: Raise the babies and run the household and not always being able to attend parties, a prisoner in her own home.
Svetlana had always been a headstrong child, having her own view of the world and wanting to live free. When the parade of suitors became too much (and worse, one found!) she finally took off in the dead of night. Her parents, however, didn’t know their daughter so well since they assumed she had been kidnapped. They didn’t realize that their little bird had found a weakness in her cage and took off on her own.
Children running away to join the circus wasn’t uncommon but not many made it. Her personality and strong will made it so she could make it in the lifestyle of circus folk and even convince them to take her on. This was her new family and she loved it. And now it has been two years.
