<span class="mu-r">You can’t quite place when, perhaps it wasn’t even your idea and instead concern from your family, but since you have memory you have been wielding a weapon. Some may call it barbaric, you on the other hand thank your grandmother for imparting her years of experience upon you. The blisters in your hands and the soreness of your muscles are a small price to pay when compared to what could have happened to a small boy in the vast deserts of Vacuo.</span>
<span class="mu-r">Your grandmother is a retired huntress who goes by the name Maria Calavera, one of the best some say, though she doesn’t talk about it, often referring to your late grandpa - who sadly passed away a long time before your birth - as a way better warrior. Her eyesight is gone but not in the usual way for elders, rather where her eyes should be is a bandage looping around the circumference of her head, when and why she lost her eyes is something she, too, doesn’t talk about. How tragic for a grandmother to never see the faces of her own grandchildren, but such is the fate for most huntsmen.</span>
<span class="mu-r">Her training methods were very Vacuan in nature, ever since you were a small child she wouldn’t mince words and believed in tough love, going as far as leaving you alone in the desert and making you find your way back blindfolded to force you stop relying on your sight. But in truth, she never left you alone and only used the blindfold so you would believe you were alone and truly develop your survival instinct while she culled the path from any danger. Funnily enough that didn’t make your parents any less mad and she stopped leaving you alone after what happened years ago.</span>
<span class="mu-r">Her training tempered you into a truly outstanding warrior and at the tender age of 17 you can stand among some professional huntsmen and even gave you a special advantage.</span>
<span class="mu-r">When a huntsman has fulfilled a rigorous deed they come out stronger than ever. They get a <span class="mu-s">[Feat]</span>.</span>
<span class="mu-s">[Sharpened Instincts]</span>: Obtained from years of training under special handicaps. Gain a bonus to your non-sight senses and are only affected half as much to low visibility.
<span class="mu-r">Despite what one might think seeing her methods, she is a wonderful woman who puts her family above all else and doesn’t let her blindness slow her down one bit. She can cook better than your mother, knows exactly what to say in any situation and is never afraid to step in and deal with issues, the issue often being a giant Grimm who had the misfortune of wandering too close to your town. She can also tell exactly who is walking around based on their footsteps alone, something your older brother found horrible when trying to sneak out.</span>
<span class="mu-r">She is your hero and the reason you are leaving for Shade academy today. You plan to graduate and become a certified huntsman to honor her legacy, whatever it may be.</span>
<span class="mu-r">But be warned child, out there no one will cull the monsters when wandering alone.</span>
