Editing Campaign:Acts of Villainy/Anja (section)

=== Background ===
If she remembered, Anja would know that she spent her childhood on the Blessed Isle, the rigors of being a prospective member of the Dragon-Blooded Host shaping her into a knowledgeable, intellectual girl who read entire books about things their parents hadn't ever heard of, yet with enough sensitivity to enjoy and create art. She'd also remember a fateful day, when her parents were accused of a crime she didn't think they committed, how they were sentenced to death. She'd remember being spared of that fate but thrown to the streets, orphan, alone and rejected, with no chance to survive at all.

But there's no point in remembering, Anja knows that. She was gifted with a particularly powerful and experienced shard, and her mortal mind wasn't able to hold together during the experience. Anja understood now, with unnatural stoicism, that Creation was a failed experiment of her patrons, and that in due time she'd be able to do something about it.

Yet when she first entered Malfeas she understood she had been there before. In fact, it looked like she even had some property there. She entered the giant clock tower she knew was hers and started training the strength she knew she once had. She didn't leave the Demon City in years, honing body and mind to the limit, digging up forbidden knowledge, rediscovering her First Age martial skills, and even sparring against Ligier's creations a few times to help the Demon Prince test the limits of his brilliance. Anja's inhuman ability to endure this deadly routine greatly pleased her patron Yozi, She Who Lives in Her Name, who tutored her in lost First Age lore. And, while her awkwardly outgoing First Age personality sometimes got her in weird situations, her refined singing and dancing gave her some recognition among part of the demon population.
