More than 20 summers ago, a woman named Wulfrun gave birth to a daughter, who she named Roxanne. Informing the father, she learns that she will have to raise her child alone.
Unwilling to see neither his colleague nor her daughter live with the social stigma of bastardry, a fellow botanist named Norman offered to support Wulfrun and Roxanne. Wulfrun and Norman would eventually marry, and Roxanne grew up with a loving father. Although she eventually learned Norman was not her real father, she never bothered to learn the name of man who was.
After the Calamity ravaged not only their home, but their means of living off the land, the Merciers eventually made the difficult choice to felt the send Roxanne off into the Black Shroud, where she could hopefully learn trade skills that could gain her employment in a noble house. Little did Wulfrun and Norman realize, their daughter was already planning to become a knight.
A kind heart, nurtured and shielded from the cold, would soon blossom into a love that would save the very star.
