Credit to @XxFilmaxX for the RPG Backstory: After Kathryn steals food from a noble to feed her family, the keepers turn on her. They burn down her home, scaring her for life, also causing her to go mute, lose sight and hearing on her left eye and ear. They send her, half dead, to the forbiding forest. The only thing keeping her alive is the thought of seeing her family again.
