Echo was trouble from the word go, and rebellion for attention or protest was her primary motivation from a very young age. Echo's father was an alcoholic con man who seized every upheaval with enthusiasm and no regard for the stability of his children, believing every relocation to be a beneficial new opportunity for his scams. Echo's mother was a petty thief and dedicated Ember of Vahl cultist who often took to abusing her children in the name of their goddess, Vahl.
