Raeje's father disappeared along with her mother and older sister when Raeje was only 6, but, being the more nomadic Xeaela out of her whole family, Raeje's father did give her some useful advice.Â
"Learn how to protect yourself. Yes, we are open to communicating with various races, but that doesn't mean they completely understand us. There are some who are still weary of us. Learn to fight. No matter how much you may hate violence, at least learn to defend yourself and the ones you love. There may come a time when you have to fight for your life."
At six, Raeje thought nothing of this, but as she grew older, she began to pick up on the dangers that her father was talking about. When she was 16 she began to train in archery, because mele combat seemed too much like dancing, and Raeje couldn't seem to keep her balance and timing. But archery came to her, eventually.
