Willow grew up just outside the town of Sirithant on her family's farm. She was the second oldest of 5 children. Cameron was the oldest and the they had 2 younger brothers and one sister; all who died in the plague. Grieved by her loss, Lilliya, her mother, killed herself. Cameron and Willow took over the farm, while their father grieved for his double loss. Willow took over both farm work and house work. When her brother went out to war and never came back, she threatened to leave and that got her father's attention. Soon the farm was up and running again. Usually she wore leather breeches and woek boots with cotton shirts. She had long flaxen-blonde hair, that she usually wears tied back. Misty green eyes with light freckles that traveled across her nose bridge and cheek bones. She had a wicked temper and an almost selfish-like attitude.
