Tania was once a young girl hailing from a family of a nobleman. Her father, a former hero, was accused of being a heretic due to his questioning of the legitimacy of the Church. It wasn't long after his doubts arose that her family home was raided and burned to the ground. As her father sacrificed himself to allow Tania to escape, she covered her burns with her favorite ribbon, but ultimately fell at the hand of the Church. They announced that her family was sent into exile, but in fact, they all had become subjects for the Church's experiments involving the harvesting of soul essence.

Her perspective changed significantly once the Church deemed her tribe to be heretical, and her village was decimated by humans. Though she survived the assault, the Church eventually captured her and used her body for its soul essence material.

Under her leadership, countless demi-humans were destroyed in the name of God. She was a glorious hero in the eyes of the Church and its followers. When the Church replaced heroes with the Crafted Souls, Vanessa once again lost her purpose and was never seen again...
