Ofelia, aka Rughelia, was born in a clan of the outer Forest skirt. She was born hairless, and an hairless cat in the wild has not THAT many possibilities to survive. So her destiny would've been being abandoned farther in the woods where the animals would've disposed of her. But she was literally too cool to be killed since day one, so her parents asked the Tribe od the Iron Tree, with which they were in good terms, to take care of her. In change they received a part of their killings.
Lately, when Rughy (whose name in the wood is Lizard) was older and not that vulnerable anymore, they teached her how to travel the Forest, and she became a scout.

I guess that, since in coming to term with my own family issues, I can give families to some of my characters that aren't just an endless tragedy :T
