[You confused her with a man...]

The woman had lived alone in her small wooden house for many years, having become the laughingstock of at least half her village in the past. Laner was always more courageous in her actions and she always trying to help her father chop wood or build something, learn blacksmithing, lift heavy objects, and so on. Why should she only be involved in herbalism or livestock? In childhood, it was all blamed on the child’s hyperactivity, but with age, these habits never disappeared. Her facial features were indeed delicate and somewhat sharp, and her shoulders became broader.

Three years after the disgusting incident, Laner decided to leave the village. No, not to any cities near the kingdoms; there was no place for her there due to a lack of money. She simply began, at some point, to slowly build her own small house in the middle of the forest every day, and then also quietly disappeared from her village, never appearing there for another second.

She lived alone, and everything was perfectly peaceful. Until you arrived, out of nowhere, in winter. Suddenly, she saves you from a predator's attack, using a bow and arrow and a knife, and you mistake Laner for a man.
