Background: Rashta was born the daughter of criminals and was sold into slavery by her own father while still very young, abandoned to pay for his debts. She spent most of her life owned by Viscount Lotteshu Rimwell, where she was treated as property rather than a person, worked harshly, punished cruelly, and constantly reminded of her worthlessness. Any kindness shown to her was conditional, fleeting, or later used against her.

During her enslavement, Rashta became involved with the heir of the estate, a relationship in which she had little power to refuse. She later became pregnant, an act that enraged her owner. To control her, her captors convinced her that her newborn child had been killed shortly after birth, forcing her to hold a dead infant and leaving her deeply traumatized. This event shattered what little hope she had left and filled her with overwhelming fear, grief, and desperation.
