A Brief History
Birth - Born just as the sunset on a beautiful February day, after many long hours. She cried out without hesitation and given the name Margryta Elsabe and tucked into her mother's arms. She is calmed and it is a sign of her personality: quiet and quick to calm from whatever pains her, both emotionally and physically.
Birth-Age 4 - Is allowed to play and be happy. She does not want for anything. At age 4 she begins her ballet lessons. It is clear she is talented early on and will be an amazing dancer.
Age 5 - Her beloved sister is born. Gryta is the first to hold Yeva and she is instantly smitten. She yearns for only a few things in life and one is to be a mother. Even at a young age, Gryta knows that holding a baby feels natural.
Age 6 - Her first recital is held. There she meets Chryxandra for the first time. She is in total awe.
Age 6 -12 - Her lessons continue and she begins to grow into a lady. She takes to all her lessons, but her dance lessons are what she lives for. She one day hopes to perform for Kings and Queens.
Age 13 - She is married to Dowid Goettner suddenly. Having been caught kissing a maid, her parents chose the first person who would marry her and Dowid, at 42 is not an ideal choice, but he is there. Claudia, the maid is sold into slavery as punishment and to keep her from telling their dark secret.
Age 14 - 16 - Gryta dances while her husband is away. She does travel with him once or twice, but never far. She continues to perform. Age 15, Gryta's parents died. She made a very brief trip home.
Age 16 - 20 - At the suggestion of Chryxandra, Gryta tries out for a spot within the Albion Ballet. She is welcomed with open arms and she spends four blissful years doing nothing but dancing, but just after her 20th birthday, Dowid returns and asks her to travel with him once more. It is an offer that a good wife would never refuse. She has one last performance, with Cryxandra playing for her. Gryta's heart is broken and she knows that she could never forgive her husband. There is no spark between them, to begin with, but all claims at warmth are lost between them. At age 18, Gryta got word that Yeva left home. She has not been seen since.

Age 21 - Gryta is with child for four short months. The loss of the child is the last straw. They had tried so many times and Gryta is certain that he already has a number of bastards that she will not try again.
Age 22 - 26 - The pair travel together. Both are miserable together, but Gryta does not let on. She has taken to drinking in secret. They reach the Golden Tether and within minutes of their landing, Dowid is working and Gryta is drinking, wishing.
Age 26 - Gryta was given a short trip back to see her old Dance Mistress with the Albion Royal Dance company and confirmed that she would be able to take the same position one day. Shortly after she returned, something happened and Gryta was in an accident that cost her her right leg below the knee. She is physically recovered, but mentally she is struggling. -
