Abandoned in the woods as a wee one, it was happenstance that led Peatrie to be found and taken in by an elderly man who had been wandering through the forest on his way to his secluded hovel. He lived away from the general populace of the area, due to his practices of what the locals called "dark arts". He gave her the name Peatrie, as he had found her without identifying papers or such, of any kind. With great affection, the aging warlock watched over her, teaching her the things that would eventually help her to become self-reliant, such as his talent for crafting his own clothing and of course he shared with her his passion for the shadows, fire and demonic power.
