History
Rowvo and Susza’s partnership was as unconventional as it was complementary. Where Susza thrived in the chaos of adventure and battle, Rowvo excelled in the structured, calculated world of politics. Their dynamic was one of mutual respect, though it was not without its challenges. Susza’s daring nature often clashed with Rowvo’s more cautious approach, but their shared love for Faefine and their commitment to the Grensh name kept them united.
Susza’s wealth from adventuring provided the financial backbone of their family, allowing Rowvo to focus on maintaining their social standing. While some nobles whispered that Rowvo relied too heavily on his partner’s earnings, he dismissed such criticisms, knowing that his and Susza’s contributions were equally vital to their shared legacy.
History
Susza Grench and her child, Faefine Grensh, share a deep and undeniable bond, but their relationship has always been a complex tapestry woven with love, absence, and the echoes of unspoken desires. While Faefine loves and admires their mother deeply, their connection is marked by the bittersweet reality of Susza’s demanding life.
Susza, as a mother, is the type who radiates fierce love and pride for her child. From the moment Faefine was born, Susza saw in them the potential for greatness, and her love for Faefine has always been unwavering. However, her life’s calling often kept her away—whether it was leading her guild of blood hunters, taking on dangerous missions, or answering the summons of the Feywild.
Susza’s commitment to her work was rooted in a desire to provide Faefine with a better future, ensuring their family name was one of strength and honor. Yet, this very commitment created a rift of physical and emotional distance. Susza wished she could spend more time with Faefine, teaching them, protecting them, and simply being present, but her responsibilities always seemed to pull her away.
For Faefine, Susza was a figure of immense admiration and longing. They saw their mother as a hero—a woman of strength, intelligence, and compassion. However, this admiration was often tinged with a yearning for the moments they couldn’t share.
When Susza was home, her presence filled the room with warmth and energy, and those brief moments together were cherished deeply by both mother and child. Faefine always felt a sense of safety and pride when Susza was around, but those moments were fleeting. As a result, Faefine grew accustomed to her mother’s absences, learning to be independent and self-reliant, even as they wished for more time with her.
