Changes

At thirteen years old, Ravenna moved to the Sular Empire to begin her education at the College of Runes. Although she had hoped to make friends during this new phase of her life, after a year she had only middling success. She befriended Adrian Dirne first, a Jari native to the Sular Empire. She would also later meet Corinth and his friend Axum.

However, being a Jari in Sular territory effectively meant she was sitting in the belly of the whale. She was relentlessly attacked, both by students, and to a lesser extent, staff. At this point, the cautious side of her personality had not yet totally won out, and so she found herself in brawls she had no hope of winning.

In one such incident, she had been driven from the main campus and down to the forest around the Rune Reservoir. While hiding in the foliage, she met Cara Lan, who proceeded to try (and fail) to win the brawl for her. Still, Ravenna was grateful, and the two were sure to remember each other.

Over repeated encounters, the two became good friends. Eventually, Cara's then-roommate suffered an "accident" and withdrew from the College of Runes altogether. Cara offered Ravenna the opportunity to be her new roommate, which she quickly accepted. From then on, the two shared the same living space, which at that age was effectively everything in their life. Over time, the pair's trust in each other grew, fueling their connection to do the same.

The internal doubts Ravenna had about herself began to resurface once again, but now in a new way: she was clearly attracted to her roommate. For a while, she was content with this fact so long as she kept it to herself, but it came to dominate her every thought about Cara. Through an accident, she came to learn that Cara secretly reciprocated those feelings, and the two agreed to explore their "freakish" emotions together.  

With the outside world against them, their bond grew into a hidden relationship.
