Garnet's early life in Angarak left her wanting little. Her aging father, Agaron, a dedicated warrior for the empire, had earned quite a pension loyally defending said empire with his life and wits. Agaron treated his wife and daughter with all the love he could muster, barely hiding his disappointment of not having a son. Garnet learned quite a bit about how to get boys and men to like her and do what she wanted at this young age, and her future looked bright. Agaron still acted as an advisor the empire on military matters, and Garnet was able to watch these almost completely without notice. Garnet learned her father's method of eyeing men up, using intimidation, coercion, and bribery when needed. She would also listen in on planning sessions when she could.
Garnet told her father from an early age that she wanted to move about at high places and wanted to fly, like the birds. Agaron reminded her that man no longer flew in the air, and tried to ground her imagination. Reluctant to give up, she decided instead to maybe climb the higher trees and places when she could. Her father encouraged her as best he could, taking her to towers and high buildings when he went to them on business.
Her mother told her many stories and old epics, through a deep matriarchic tradition, about when man had flying machines and gates to far-off lands. She set her mind to re-discover these things, and bring them back to her people, and decided to train her body as well. Garnet was set to grow up in a rich house, with all she needed to accomplish her goals. However, events soon came to pass that would change her life forever.
Garnet's mother passed away while giving birth to her brother, Ugaresh, when Garnet was twelve years old. Agaron became withdrawn and remote around her, and focused all of his attention on the health and upbringing of Ugaresh. Anger built in Garnet, just as it silently did in Agaron, but for different reasons. Agaron hated the loss of his wife; Garnet hated the loss of her father. Garnet had made peace with her mother's death, and understood it as part of the cycle of life. However, Agaron seemed to think that raising two children alone was impossible, and barely ever recognized the need to assist his daughter with anything. She kept up the family's needs as best she could, but soon thereafter it was too much.
Striking out, hoping to garner her father's attention and hopefully get him to snap out of his fox-hole vision, Garnet started hanging out with gangs of youth and in dangerous and sometimes criminal locales. Running away from the law, and sometimes from the very people she hung out with, she learned more ways and places to hide and not be seen, and to move silently from those locations. Most people, she found out, were afraid of moving along the highest of buildings and the crests of towers, and soon she came to be known as Garnet of the Tower Tops. Garnet built a small reputation on her ability to get others to do jobs for her, and successfully; and her luck with these jobs, especially if she went personally. She soon came to 'lead' a gang of thieves and pickpockets which was just small enough to bring in some revenue, but not large enough to be cared about by the larger groups ... she hoped. Garnet gained a new epithet at this time, when her eye color dramatically changed: Golden-eyed Garnet.
Garnet knew that, if she were to be ultimately successful with her gang, and their petty criminal acts (still just to mess with her father), she would need to keep to her advantages: her ease with heights and getting there, her good night vision, and leading the gang and making sure the right person did the right job. So it was unfortunate that when she was quoted the largest sum that she'd ever been offered that she quickly abandoned these principles for greed, which had been slowly developing, in and of itself. She took the job herself.
"It must be done tonight," the cloaked figure said, calmly.
"My best man is on another job," she replied, chewing on her thumb,
thinking about the bag of coins in front of her on the table.
"Well, then, I must be ..." the cloaked figure stated, haltingly, while
standing up. Garnet's hand on his arm brought him back down, silently.
"Give me the details ..." Garnet stated, doubts suddendly waved away, almost as if by her hand movement.
Golden-eyed Garnet is on the run for more reasons than one. She was caught in the trap of raiding a merchant's basement, set up by a rival group. She was caught only after she worked her way out of the pitch black building's exhaust tunnels without notice, only to run into a militia man in the back alley. Her eye color change and seemlingly unexplainable abilities led everyone to the one thing that no one had really noticed: she was a changeling. Her father's money and reputation has just saved her from a bad sentence, but she is a marked and well-known girl; her infamy will keep many from trusting her. However, some do recognize her father's talents within her, and might find her leadership skills to be useful ...
