Kenzie was born a bastard child to a Lord who wanted nothing more than soothe himself, unknowingly signing a contract to surrender his first born to the Mother, and witch of the Katryzine Coven.

The Coven lived in the depths of a canyon with homes made out of the slopes and shallow caves long before the herd moved in. She was raised to learn magic with her mother and maternal family in the canyon, believing strength to be derived from the women in her family.

Kenzie learned her power was in reading the bones of ancestors and friends, fate and fortunes to be told in the morbidly reminders of others. She would do chores other families of witches in exchange for use of one another's familial gifts. It was these types of trips that prevented Kenzie and the remainders of the Katryzine from being entirely wiped out as a wave of youth.

When she and some of the other Apprentices came back from their journeys to see their families being imprisoned and enslaved, they were struck - some with horror, some with rage, but all knew they were not going to have anything in their favor against the enemy except escaping. Kenzie, fearing for her life and weeping silently, ran away from the only home and family she knew to save her life.

Kenzie grew under the kindness (and sometimes trickery) of others, and once she was old enough to care for the remains of her old home, she eventually returned home. Some of those from the days of horror had come home to rwvive their culture just as she had, but staying alive is the main priority.
