Life in Le'Or
In the beginning, Shosin lived in Le'Or with her parents, her mother Pepper, and her father, Chris'tan. At an early age of 35, Shosin would wander around the marketplace in Le'Or with her mother as her father helped keep food on the table. Frequently, her mother would venture to the Moontree in Le'Or and this is where Shosin became fascinated with Wizardry.
As she would wait for her mother, she met the Old Man, as she never found out his name, who would later become her tutor in the field of wizardry.
Studies
At around the age of 50, Shosin began her tutoring with the Old Man, unbeknowance to her parents, because her parents wanted her to be a bard, and to Shosin, singing never appealed to her. Every day, she would meet the Old Man in the Marketplace, to be led to his dwellings where she learned about the lore of wizardry. Not only did she learn what the Old Man taught her, he taught her the value of certain plants that could be used to heal, poison, or make drinks. But alas, this could not continue, as her parents caught her sneaking out one night when she turned 80, to go see the Old Man, the asked what she was doing. She could not lie to her own family, so told them the truth. They were devistated by what she had done. From then forth, she was never allowed to leave the house without permission and to know where she is going. Along with that, she was never to practice what the Old Man had taught her, but that did not stop her. Every night, as her family went to bed, she would practice in a secret room she had made from her room.
Surprises
A few weeks after turning 80, her parents came to her one day with a girl that looked almost exactly as she did. The only difference was that the girl's hair was down, free flowing around the middle of her back, where as Shosin kept her's in a pony-tail. Chris'tan and Pepper confided in her that day that the girl was her twin sister that they kept hidden for so long at a friend's house far away in the deep forests of T'Nanshi. Though Shosin was hurt by this, and her parents would not give reason to their doings, so she let it go, but always, after that, thought if they had other secrets that she does not know. Well, Shosin and her twin sister, Crys'tal, become best of friends and spent almost every waking moment together until the day that Shosin turned 120.
Leaving Home
The week of Shosin's 120th birthday, she packed her things secretly, because her parents still nagged on her about being a bard, well, her mother more so than her father. Shosin was sad at the thought of leaving Crys'tal behind, but she had made her choice, and she was going to stick by it. On the night of Shosin's departure, she snuck out of the house with her things and made for the city gates to the lift, and out of nowhere, her father, Chris'tan appeared from behind a tree, with a look of respect and sadness in his eyes. Shosin and he exchanged a few well loved words, and he handed her a small gold pouch to get her started in her life outside of Le'Or. He understood what Shosin was doing, and, though as sad as he was, let her go, with each exchanging hugs and love, for they might never see each other again. All Shosin asked of her father was to tell her mother that she just ran away and not make it seem her mother's fault for doing so. With that, Shosin stepped onto the lift, waving to her crying and proud father as the lift started to make it's descent.
Roaming
Soon after leaving Le'Or, Shosin made her way to Elysia, the City of Fey. When she arrived, she was in awe of such a city, but this did not dissaude her from making something of herself. For the next gnomish year, Shosin helped the different farmers around with harvesting crops and dealing with crop rats. Though, after one day, when in serious trouble with some crop rats she cried out and a Faerie Dragon came to her cry of help and defeated the crop rats. When she saw this wonderous creature, she was happy and confused at the same time, knowing from her studies with the Old Man about mage's familiars. She herself had never summoned one before and this was the first time, and the two bonded quickly, becoming more than just master and familiar. She named the Faerie Dragon, Leon, and to this day Leon is always near, figuratively speaking. After helping farmers with the rat problems and harvesting, she started helping others around the area by performing odd-jobs and such to make gold and gather more information of her studies. One day she ventured to Ferrell for some ingredients one day, and decided to go fishing, as she had never done this before. As she fished, she would pull up things other than fish. But she heard of the fishmongerer, Sarah up in Kitanya Hill. One day, carrying as much fish as Sarah would take, she ventured to see her. In the process, Shosin met three women, one of whom she would never see again. The two she still sees, and to this day are two of her most dear friends, is Jessica Paragon and the wife of El'gos, Druantia. From then on, wherever you saw one of those two, you could count on Shosin being close by.
