Growing up in an orphanage in Damzen, Hannah always had big dreams of following in the footsteps of the drifters who found her as a baby, going on adventures and exploring ruins to find technologies and secrets of the past. Her thirst and passion for learning--and especially for magic--earned her a full scholarship to the prestigious Sielje Academy to study Crest Sorcery. She excelled in her coursework, until one day she was involved in an accident. Amid the investigations and rumors, Hannah made a disturbing realization about her magic and fled the school, becoming a drifter. Her magic, though, grows more powerful and slips further out of her control with each passing day, meaning the rumors from school continue to follow her around. Hannah has become more guarded and withdrawn, her only companion a red-tailed hawk named Zephyr that accompanies her as she tirelessly searches for a cure to the curse afflicting her magic.
