Whether taken in after the death of your family, or you became close with a noble family's sire as young children and were evidently taken in, you are now the ward of a family that has wealth and prestige. But of course, not every family takes in a ward just because. It is usually an investment. Whether that is training you to take a position in government for them, or be enlisted in the military to garner more notoriety, or even be the sworn protector of the family's heir - that you grew up with - to always be by their side to guide and protect, your life is not your own. Yet wards would usually lay their life down for that purpose because they feel forever indebted, or maybe they feel evident resentment that their life is not their own and therefore lack choice and freedom. 

You are unlikely to inherit the fortune and title of the noble family who took you in.

(This is devotee. It means as a ward you were taken in and devoted yourself to the heir you were raised with).

Skill Proficiencies: You know the ways of nobility and are not easily fooled by flagrant words. Pick two from perception, deception, and Insight.

Tool Proficiencies: You were trained to be an act like a noble. You can proficiency in one gaming set or musical instrument of your choice.

Languages: You know the language of the noble family who took you in. If you already have that language, then choose another language that is common from the lands your family ruled over.

Equipment: A set of fine clothes, a signet ring, and a symbol or keepsake from your Devoted one.
