Background: Born July 13th of 4609 in Nocturnia with her identical twin, Jirami Tolis to their mother, a poor Nocturnian woman named Relia Tolis. As with most twins at early ages, Jurami and Jirami were very close to each other. They were often babysat by a rich, if not a bit mysterious family friend named Risty, who also occasionally helped them out of rough financial situations. As the twins grew up, they both shared an interest in unorthodox acrobatics.
In October of 4624, during an encounter with a group of rebels claiming to be led by one of Overlord Maya Anstrum's sons, 15-year-olds Jirami and Jurami were caught up in a battle with one of the rebels. After an intense battle, the twins were defeated and separated, but both managing to escape. Jurami, hiding out in the alleys of downtown Nocturnia, met a young child by the name of Chevell. The child took her to his parents' house, where she was nursed back to health. Jurami took a liking to Chevell and became good friends with him.
A few days passed before Jurami found her sister, who had been in the care of the head medic of the Nocturnian Royal Army, Rulio Deriana. Jirami had apparently grown attached to the medic, as Jurami was to Chevell. About a month afterward in December 2nd of 4624, Jurami gave Jirami away to Rulio as the two got married, Jirami's family name becoming Deriana. As Jurami's sister still stayed together with her, in fear of the rebels targeting the family of Nocturnian soldiers, the two both hung out with Chevell quite often. Later, on May 8th of 4625, a previously unknown man named Argo Anstrum became overlord after Maya Anstrum's mysterious death. When word got to the twins and Chevell, the boy claimed that Argo was his father.
Around July of 4625, the leader of the rebels was revealed, identifying himself as Shin Anstrum and claiming to be Argo's younger brother, as more people turned against the overlord. Shin actively began heinous crimes as soon as he revealed himself, capturing and torturing not only many members of the Nocturnian military, but citizens that he deemed a threat as well. As those loyal to Argo, or otherwise against the rebellion gathered in secret, so did Jurami and the now-pregnant Jirami, meeting up with others, including the organizer Ashigra Vrolza, to defeat Shin. This escalated into an all-out civil war, one side for the overlord, and the other side for Shin. Near the end of the month, Ashigra organized a strike team consisting of young, able-bodied men and women including the twins, as well as Chatorme Ezrha, the quiet but intelligent detective, Kruma Ildaka, a master of disguises, Filana Ashior, the skilled swordswoman, and Tarba Ornai, the powerful mage.
On August 16th of 4625, the tide turned as Shin found a way to unlock his bloodline powers, shifting the tide in his favor. On September 2nd of 4625, as Jurami left Jirami behind with Rulio, retreating with the others, Shin Anstrum succeeded in defeating the last of the opposition and overthrowed Argo, killing him to assume the throne. During all this, Jurami took Chevell and fled, and was found by none other than her old babysitter and friend, Risty. He had secretly organized an escape plan that would get them off the continent of Ursor, as he knew they would be hunted down mercilessly if he had not.
Risty then took Jurami and Chevell to a boat, shortly after they were found by a group of Shin's soldiers. Fortunately, their leader, Chermu Valsior, quickly turned on his subordinates, subduing them and helping Jurami and the others escape. Before they left, they met up with an old mage and his young wife who requested that they bring them along. Even though Jurami was untrusting of the mage, Risty allowed them to go, as the mage introduced them as Rodas Vaken and his wife, Lakera. With that, Jirami, Risty, Chermu, Chevell, Ashigra, Ro, and Lakera boarded the boat, headed for the Norisam continent where they were to take refuge in Human civilization. The mage told the three that he was one who was not necessarily on their side, but was also against Shin, therefore making them allies by default.
A few days after arriving in Norisam Kingdom, they met up with another renegade Nocturnian, Elascka Mecanu, who was one of Rulio's nurses. She informed Jurami that the rest of Ashigra 's strike force, including Jirami, did not escape, and was captured by Shin. She also confirmed that that Chevell is really was Argo's son. After settling down, the group, after being granted political asylum by King Derio Nerg and Queen Lazijek Nerg, formed a union named the "Nocturnian Order of Patriots", who's number one goal was to defeat Shin. Lakera opted to stay out of the conflict for personal reasons, but continued supporting her husband.
As the group used their funds to buy an abandoned, relatively isolated multi-unit house, Jurami claimed the unit on the middle of it as her own. She took Chevell in as well, in an attempt to raise and protect him herself. Ro and Lakera had their own unit, Elascka moved in with Chermu in his unit, and Ashigra and Risty moved in separate units by themselves, leaving one vacant unit.
