But, Mother sometimes went horseback riding with her bastard daughter, but this was only to pretend she was a caring mother, fooling the pretentious guests of the day’s retarded tea party. How much Elizabeth hated asking if anyone wanted more tea, then pouring tea for fat old perverts.
Whenever Father returned, he would often practise fencing and shooting with his daughter, who he loved dearly, sometimes involving servants in their training. Father also showed her how to fight without a weapon. The training sometimes included horseback swordplay or shooting, and during this time, Elizabeth found her favorite horse: Chester, a chestnut horse. He was her only friend, even though they rarely saw each other. She would feed him apples whenever she could.
But, Father’s love was hard and heavy, and whenever Elizabeth did something wrong in her training, or something as mild as coughing or sneezing at the table, the least punishment was loud yelling, but being smacked across the head or face occured often.
Growing up in a manor house with access to a variety of high-quality local food, Elizabeth is quite healthy and hardy, and enduring child abuse has toughened her up mentally and physically. Coming from a line of very old-fashioned minor nobles and landowners, she can also ride horses, fence, and shoot pistols, hobbies the nobility of old often practised, which her Father continued for her. Knowing how to use a blade also means she can use her limbs quite well, but her lack of size and mass means her attacks may be underwhelming against anything significantly larger than her.
One night, Elizabeth’s life would turn upside down. She awoke to the smell of smoke and fire. Outside, angry people had amassed, brandishing torches, pitchforks, rifles, and axes, yet many did not seem to be local villagers. They stormed the estate, killing servants and farmhands.
