Persona: Edyth Miller is not your typical 14th Century English woman. The only child of a wealthy merchant family, Edyth grew up around the bustling merchant harbors of London, but when she was betrothed to an undesirable, albeit wealthy man, she fled England with half her dowry, and one of her father's merchant ships. She fled to the Mediterranean waters of Italy where she sold the ship, and invested her stolen wealth with a banker who would ask no questions. At first alone, and completely unprepared for life outside of her father's walls, Edyth fell in with a group of Italian bandits. After years of travel, and after amassing a large sum of money, Edyth purchased a new ship from a Turkish merchant, and began a life of piracy on the Mediterranean. Eventually, however, she decided to settle down into a quieter life on land, so she sold her ship, moved to Germany, and became an artist. To this day, she's still indecently wealthy, but prefers not to show it.
