Her life wasn't really hers. Her life was her name, her heritage and never her. People were fine until they realized who she was, that's when the trouble began.
Her father was the most powerful mage in Tortall and possibly the world. He had saved his country many times and even ventured into the realm of the Gods. Numair Salmalin was his name and he was feared and respected by many.
Her mother was amazing as well. Full of beauty and charm, yet not afraid to speak her mind. She was the guardian to a Dragon and friends with a baslik. She could understand the animals and had the most wild magic ever. Her name was Daine but most referred to her as the Wildmage. She called her mom, her mother that had risen extremely high in court in a short amount of time.
Her grandparents were a God and a Goddess, not many knew this but the fact that she had Gods as grandparents was a shocking fact and gave her high esteem.
Her adoptive Aunt was the first woman knight who had overcome so much trouble and oppression to bring the Kingdom together and give the King the most powerful weapon as well as his queen. Her adoptive Uncle and Alanna's cousin was a master of the rouge court as well as in control of all the spy's.
When people heard her name they automatically knew who she was. They automatically tried to become her best friend not looking at her personality or preferences.
She was sick of it. She was sick of all the hustle around her and the people who called themselves her friend. She was sick of being fake.
She was raised to be strong, independent, and to work hard. She didn't want to live with everything attached to her name, she wanted to be a nobody because nobody's have real lives and real friends.
She had thought about doing what Aly did, running away from all her fears and troubles. But Aly had had a difficult time, she was captured by pirates and made a slave until she broke free and made a name for herself. She wasn't Aly though and she didn't want to follow that course of action.
She wasn't very old but she was wise beyond her years and fast as well as strong. She could fight good and beat kids twice her age. She was only five yet she was somewhat of a child prodigy, she wanted to be a Shang warrior.
She was going to be a Shang warrior.
Author's Note: I couldn't find the name of Diane and Numair's child in Trickster's Choice, I know its in there somewhere but I couldn't find it. If someone could tell me what it is I would be grateful. I am not sure whether or not I am going to continue this, it might be a one-shot. Please tell me if I got any of the names wrong.
