Willow lived on the city streets of New Kings, with her sister Wisp when they were little girls. Through a turn of fate, they were employed to do a job for the thieves guild. Though they managed to get the artifact from the building they were to infiltrate, they were caught and had to take to the streets. They split up, her sister going through the diamond tooth rat tunnels, and Willow through the old Cathedral and up into the Bell tower, where she was caught by an old gnome who lived up there.

Willow was imprisoned for only a few hours before she was released into the custody of the old gnome. He had many connections and was very convincing. Even enough to have Willow become his apprentice bell ringer.... I have much more, but that would give away the story itself :3
