Sa’na was born to her parents on the 27th day of Cylus, 695. The couple lost her brother five arcs earlier to an illness he never recovered from. It took her parents a few arcs before they were ready to have another child. When they did, they were blessed that her mother got pregnant quickly and the pregnancy was uneventful.
The young girl lived in the shadow of her brother’s death. Her parents refused to leave her alone. They made sure she was always taken care of, that she ate well, and took care of herself physically to be safe. She also wasn’t allowed to play with anyone who was ever sick, and her paranoid parents worried that everyone had an illness they couldn’t see.
As Sa’na got older, she turned to religion to escape her parents’ control. Houses of worship were the only place she could go without making them worry. She also spent a lot of time on her father’s boat. The only other place her parents didn’t check up on her.
When she was old enough to learn a trade, she skipped school in favor of apprenticeships with both of her parents. She first learned basket weaving and leatherworking from her mother, but those skills didn’t make her heart sing like her father’s jewelry crafting did.
She fell in love with crafting jewelry while she sat with her father, trial after trial and arc after arc, learning everything he could teach her about his craft. Eventually, she was skilled enough and old enough to start helping them out at their merchant shop.
As an adult, Sa’na moved out on her own, into her own house in Rharne, where she currently lives until she saves enough nels to leave.
