Background

Born in CAS, Vana Gretz was somewhat an outcast from the time she was born. Competing with the CAS' reputation for racism against elves, as well as having fur covering her entire body and being sluggish during the day, Vana's friendships were often little more than short-lived pranks by the other children. Add to this a keen sense of hearing to hear all the taunts and jeers thrown at her by her peers, it was no surprise that Vana was an unhappy child. However when she was eight years old, her parents brought her to Tolento's Night Circus, a travelling show that moved across the CAS, UCAS, the PCC and even CalFree. What began as her parents trying to show Vana that being different wasn't so bad led to a fascination with the circus. Seeing people applaud the performances of people that looked odd and had skills that weren't of use to corporate culture, Vana knew that this was where she was meant to be. Thanks to her nocturnal nature, it was easy enough to slip away from her house in the night and into Tolento's while they were packing up and stowing away with some of the circus critters.

By the time Vana was discovered by the other performers, they were several kilometers from her hometown and they didn't want to turn back. Varian Tolento, the dwarven ringmaster of the circus, decided that he would take the girl in and train her to be another performer in the circus. Vana no longer was mocked for her differences, but instead embraced for the things that made her unique. She worked hard to master skills of the circus. Balancing, knife-throwing, juggling. The thing that drew her in most though was the trapeze. Gideon, an older elf who was the circus' star acrobat, took Vana under his wing and began training the girl to be a high-flyer. In addition to the training of what to do on stage, Tolento taught her a different set of skills. She was taught to skulk underneath the bleachers in the tent during shows and lifting loose credsticks from the guests. Whatever moral objections Vana might have had were pushed aside, the circus was her family now, and she would do anything to keep them afloat.

She spent her childhood and adolescence travelling with the circus, learning more and more at the hands of her new family until Gideon decided that she was finally ready to be the headlining performance at sixteen. She was nervous the entire time she was about to perform, but the moment she stepped off the edge of the balcony and caught the trapeze she let her instincts take over and put on the best performance of her life. That performance and the applause after shook her to her core, and she Awakened.

Eventually Gideon retired, leaving the acrobatic performance to Vana, who was given the name Sharp for the daggers she used during her high-flying act. Eventually the circus found themselves in Seattle, and were setting up for a nightly performance when Tolento decided that something was missing and sent Vana to get it. Not knowing her way around the city, and too afraid of rejection to ask anyone for help, Vana eventually found the part they needed and hurried back to the circus grounds, only to find the performers being arrested by Knight-Errant. She tried to get closer to help them, but Tolento spotted her and waved her off. Alone and penniless in an unfamiliar city, Sharp started doing petty crime using her skills to break and enter into places.

Eventually she caught the notice of a fixer, and was introduced to ShadowHaven. Not only could she make some money there, she could also make contacts who might be able to help her free her family.
