Character

<Backstory> Abandoned since birth in the Pannonian countryside, fate brought a troupe of ragtag street urchins to young Beata. They took her under their wing and came to love her as their adorable youngest sister. Beata, likewise, cherished her foster family.

The first-year yelped when she felt a forceful shove on her arm. A guy glanced back at her over his shoulder, his eyes slitted and piercing. *Move, you dimwit!* Beata could grasp the meaning behind that baleful look.

Clutching her chest as though that could ease the guilt gnawing at her heart, Beata heaved a soft sigh and steeled herself. She had been staying here for weeks now. This was not new.
