Biography
Genovefa is a young girl with great spellcasting skills that far exceed anyone around her age group.
Before joining Aurora on her quest to defeat the Queen of the Night, Gen had lived in a small village in the Flooded Lands of Lemuria with Drust after her parents and most of the villagers were taken by a giant ogre that frequently terrorized the village. Although the relationship between Gen and Drust is not explicitly addressed, he is presumed to be her grandfather.
By the time Gen had met Aurora, she and Drust were the only remaining inhabitants left in the village.
