	Rumors had reached Lina's small town of a werewolf stalking the area, and Lina's first adventure started when she made up her mind to kill it. Armed with her bow, magic, and several silver-tipped arrows, she went hunting, found, and killed the beast. Taking its teeth and hide, she ~~set off to sell~~ them for traveling money and began her grand adventure.		Rumors had reached Lina's small town of a werewolf stalking the area, and Lina's first adventure started when she made up her mind to kill it. Armed with her bow, magic, and several silver-tipped arrows, she went hunting, found, and killed the beast. Taking its teeth and hide, she sold them for traveling money and began her grand adventure.

	Quickly, Lina found there was a fortune to be made going after bandits. Rowen had always had a very serious problem with banditry, being large and sparsly populated, with dense forest separating ~~few~~ population centers. Policing was impossible, and banditry was, for many, seen as a good alternative to subsistence farming.		Quickly, Lina found there was a fortune to be made going after bandits. Rowen had always had a very serious problem with banditry, being large and sparsly populated, with dense forest separating its population centers. Policing was impossible, and banditry was, for many, seen as a good alternative to subsistence farming.

	Lina began by hunting for bounty, but soon discovered that most bandit gangs had large hoards of gold. It was profitable to simply locate a bandit camp, set everything on fire, and make off with the loot. While killing bandits who were not wanted was, technically, a crime, it was the sort of thing Rowen authorities politely ignored, in favor of seeing fewer bandits and safer roads. Lina's reputation as "bandit killer" and "bandit slayer", and she made a very good living at it for about a year until bandits in Rowen became an endangered species. A statue was erected of Lina in the town of [[Lauren]], where she is worshipped as a minor local diety.		Lina began by hunting for bounty, but soon discovered that most bandit gangs had large hoards of gold. It was profitable to simply locate a bandit camp, set everything on fire, and make off with the loot. While killing bandits who were not 'wanted' was, technically, a crime, it was the sort of thing Rowen authorities politely ignored, in favor of seeing fewer bandits and safer roads. Lina's reputation as "bandit killer" and "bandit slayer" grew quickly, and she made a very good living at it for about a year until bandits in Rowen became an endangered species. A statue was erected of Lina in the town of [[Lauren]], where she is worshipped as a minor local diety.

	Lina's exact profit from her bandit-hunting days is unknown, though she did 'retrieve' several high-profile gold shipments. One such shipment consisted of over fifty thousand weights of gold (equivalent to several million credits). She lived extravagantly during this time and developed a very serious gambling problem. While she bought a number of rare and magical items during this time (including a pair of [[Orichalcum]] bracelets equipped with large enchanted rubies, and her distinctive hoop earrings), nearly all the money she made was lost at the gambling tables.

	By the time she'd turned thirteen, Lina had gained something of a reputation as a 'local terror' for her sharp temper and tendancy to follow up emotional outbursts with outbursts of fire. While a charismatic and sweet girl at heart, she was strong for her small stature and a gifted sorceress. The ability to produce [[Magefire]], coupled with the typical mood swings of adolescence, made for a rather explosive mix.

	It was also around this time that Lina began to feel truly discontented with her place in life. Her magic teacher had finally passed away, and she was approaching the age at which most Rowen girls marry. According to tradition, as the youngest daughter she was expected to find a husband to come to the family farm, and to live there the rest of her life tending the lands ~~that he~~ family had worked for millennia. Being not at all happy with this fate, she made up her mind to strike out on her own.		It was also around this time that Lina began to feel truly discontented with her place in life.

In training, the two were inseparable and showed tremendous promise, ~~standing out~~ far and above the other trainees. It was not until after her anointment that it was discovered Lina had skipped about 3/5s of the requisite Trials and training. Seeing as it was "too late", Hokori retro-actively gave her special dispensation. However, she still holds the record for fastest completion, since the initial count still says two years.
