MWG grew up in a small village in the mountains, when at a young age a traveling monk saw her throwing throwing stars apparently from thin air. When asked, MWG said they were "shooting stars", and she didn't know no one else could do it. The monk suggested to her parents that she be taken for martial arts training at the monk's monastary, which they agreed to.
After many years of training, it was time for MWG (that's the name the other monks gave her) who was now a young woman, to go on her "soul quest", wandering the lands in search of her true calling. Being naive in the ways of the world, her first few encounters didn't go so well, but she learned quickly, and found employment as a caravan guard, which allowed her to visit many different villages and cities.
Once, while in-between jobs, she was walking on a road when she was ambushed by bandits. Despite all her training and effort, she was beaten badly and left for dead. A wandering hermit found her, carried her to his home, treated her wounds with herbs, and nursed her back to health. MWG vowed to help the man (named Heirmann) whenever he needed to, as a debt of honor.
She recognized the "bandits" as members of the Dottari patrol from their uniforms, and so has taken it upon herself to rid the city of its corruption.
As a result of her travels, MWG has vowed to always help those in need or who can't help themselves, and to be loyal to whoever her companions at the time are.
