This is an attempt at a new roleplay style. I may or may not keep this character, and if I do, she may or may not keep the form I have given here in this thread.
Day 1
We didn't see them coming. They were silent, sneaking into our homes and dragging us from our beds before we even realized that we were under attack. Herded into large cages on carts, we were wheeled away from everything we had ever known. I was placed in a cage with strangers. I don't know what happened to my mother, but I know that I will never see my father or brother again. They fought, even with their eyes still blurry from sleep and without a single weapon. The last thing I saw before the blindfold fell over my eyes was their broken bodies falling to the ground.
