Lady‘s Companion

Sometime in your childhood you were put in care of a noble, maybe royal family in order to be their child‘s company or even become their closest friend in exchange for elevated education and teachings around etiquette and arts while being served with precious food as one of them. You were surronded by arisocracy, servitude and at least one child to become so much more than your family of origin ever had to offer.

Nevertheless the time came when you left and entered the world of common folks, simple life, poverty and even crime lurking behind the safe walls of your former host family, leaving with nothing but the lectures you received and your memories of your „friend“ back there.
