Lady Sonya of the Gravers

Sonya doesn't remember her mother very well and knows only what she had heard from others over the years. What she knows is that her mother was half-orc working in house of one of the wealthiest families in the Skyemere as a maid. Apparently she had romantic relationship with young master and family didn't like that and forced her to leave. After some years when Sonya was about 5, she remembers strangers breaking into their home and taking her and her mother away. They took Sonya to orphanage and as later she found out from orphanage staff, her mother was thrown into prison. They were telling that Sonya also will one day go to prison. But that made her rebel even harder. Sonya was running away several times and was trouble maker. When she was about 8, head of orphanage brought her to workhouse and sold her for mere 1 silver piece. It looked like she would even pay them herself to get rid of Sonya. "Here maybe they will manage to make good citizen out of you with hard work and a lot of beating." It basically was prison for kids. She had no chance for escape and started to work as hard as she could. She wanted to show them, show everyone that she is worth more than one silver piece. She wanted to get out of here and see her mother. When Sonya became 16, overseer decided that she can leave now. She got few recommendations for employment and one silver piece. Sonya kept it to remember her promise to prove she is worth more than that. First thing she went straight for the prison and asked to see her mother, on what she got told that no visitors are aloud to her. Sonya asked: "How long she must stay?" "Until she pays ransom", was an answer. "How much?", Sonya asked. "Come back when you will have 2000 gold", guard laughed. She found place she were recommended to and started to work in general store as a helper. Year passed, then another one and she had only small part of gold she needed. So she started to look for ways to make money faster. That is how she got into fighting. She found several places with fighting pits and heard one can make good money from that. At first she was loosing. She got some coin for that but it was not enough. With some time she got better and after 3 years of arena fighting she had saved up necessary amount to pay for her mother's release. But when she went to the prison next morning after last fight, guard told her that her mother had died in her prison cell about 4 years ago. That she was totally insane and probably that is for the best. Here is where Sonya got in trouble. As she couldn't take that and attacked guard in rage. Other guards seized her after catching some hits themselves. She got thrown in the cell and after few days got presented with a choice to stay in the prison until someone pays ransom for her, what she knew will not happen. And gold she had was gone and it was her word against 5 guards who were telling that she had no gold on her. Or she could join newly formed Gravers order and descend to fight terrors in lower levels of Skyemere. Choice was obvious. She would better die fighting monsters down there than here in prison cell slowly loosing her mind.
