She later tracked her father to [[Strangle Grove]], only to learn he had murdered her mother. **The Crusader:** Rescued from self-destruction by the [[Sun King]], she joined his crusade against the [[Elder Elemental Eye]] and found purpose in her relationship with [[Goodberry]] (then Oakenton), though neither expressed their feelings. **The Murder:** She confronted [[Belaam|Owynn Firesong]] about a Chaos Gem he was communing with, and he strangled her to death. **The Return:** Her will brought her back, only to find her companions destroyed at the bottom of the Blood Rift. She made a deal with [[Baba Yaga]], who resurrected them, but each lost their most cherished memory. [[Goodberry]] returned without remembering his love for her. **The Confession:** She died again when [[Korapira]] dropped [[Baba Yaga]]'s Hut on her during the volcanic eruption. When [[Goodberry]] touched her body, she clawed her way back again, and they finally confessed their love. %%
