The child of a commoner and gypsy, Rema dreamed of becoming a knight at a young age after hearing many of her grandfather's war stories. Adopting boyish tendencies despite her mother's rearing, it was less enviable in the eyes of her father. Despite his discouraging her hoyden ways, it did little to stop it or from scuffling with local boys for their teasing. After her grandfather's death at the Battle of Baledgnona where Rema's father also disgraced himself, stability for the family shifted. Imprisoned for a year, Rema barely recognized him, even less after he took heavily to spirits and became violent towards them.
Imagination was the one thing that could take her mind off of the hard times that beset them because of the current war's effects. The grape vineyard and other crops once serving them well no longer yielded enough to keep up with demand, their only option seeming to be servitude under the land's lord. Her father's pride would not allow this nor for his wife to help their crisis, he joined Rema's grandfather and uncle into the next major battle in hopes of looting wealth enough to sustain them.
While the men were away, Rema's grandmother taught her to hunt as their gypsy descendants did for food and income, and the girl was easily able to adapt it into an adventure. Ill tidings continued when her uncle returned alone, informing them her grandfather fell on the field and father was imprisoned for egregious conduct.
It was around this time that Rema first met Miriam Gavrielle during the snowy season, the girl and her mother moving into the outskirts of Notte's countryside. Rema became enamored with her vast experience of the world, lavishness and feminine appeal Rema felt she lacked. Their friendship led to Rema learning to read, write, learn of the world Miriam had experienced, it's wonders and dangers and much about the Penumbra. To her ultimate joy, Miriam also taught her the arte of fencing, her first steps toward fulfilling her dream.
