[X] There aren't lots of other kids on the island, aside from you. A few of Dad's merchant friends bring their kids, and you get to show them around and point at all the cool stuff you can see from the towers! Other than them though, you tend to play with the servant's children. When he first saw you making friends with a baker's son, he said it was "Important to have friends in low places." You don't get what he meant, but he's been encouraging you to play with them, so you do lots! You will friends in places low, and high.

[X] Even though you were very small, you still remember the first time your father gave you a lecture on just what made your family so powerful. It was so simple it was impossible for it to not stick with you. Money. The guilder was, even in the broken empire of his day, the lifeblood of everything. He explained in simple terms, that whoever held the strings of the purse, held the real power. He promised that, as you grew older he'd make sure to teach you how to keep your own pure under control, and despite his death, the memory sticks with you. Foundational Trait - Queen of the Purse Your father's tutoring, and your own understanding of where true power comes from in the Empire, have led to you developing a far greater understanding of rulership than most of your rivals.

[X] Followed your parents everywhere. Mum and Dad are the smartest, bestest parents anyone could have! So, of course, you spent a lot of time with them, watching them work, going to the temple. Dad even lets you play with his maps! One day, you're going to own a great big ship like him, and see the whole world! You will learn much about the family trade.

[X] Your mother picking you up and putting you on her lap, after you'd whined about having to dress up for the Temple. Instead of scolding you, she told you a story. About how, far away from the palace, there were strong women, called the Sisters. She told you how big and tough they were, and that, if you were good, and you prayed to Sigmar with her every night, one day you'd be big and strong, just like the Sisters! After that, you never missed a call to prayer. Foundational Trait - Faith in Sigmar Your faith in Sigmar has been very strong from an early age, and you have devoted considerable energies to practicing his tenants.

[X] After catching you spying on him training, the Captain of the Household Guard offered to train you. While this extremely early training (For you were but a babe) was more about teaching you physical skills like running, soon your close bond would grow into much more combat oriented work, teaching you much about warfare within the Empire. Foundational Trait - Warrior at heart Your time training under Sven "Black-hand" has made you an impressively capable fighter, while also leaving you exceptionally fit. You are, even if you don't follow a path of a warrior, supremely physically capable.

[X] Like most children, you'd always hated being dragged to the temple. With its musty, claustrophobic halls, constant chanting, and endless sermons. To brighten up your visits, you began to sneak in candy. When you were caught, instead of being ashamed, you simply resorted to hiding it better. Soon, every child-friendly crevice in the temple had a small leather pouch with delicious candies! Foundational Trait - Candied secrets Thanks to an overly strict Sister of Sigmar, you learned how to sneak about at an extremely young age, certainly, it would be a useful skill in the future.

[X] When you were incredibly little, your Nanny spent countless hours drilling etiquette into you. For some reason, you just could not understand the differences between the many types of utensil you were expected to use. Of course, being a toddler you did not understand why she yelled at you, just that you didn't like it. So you broke out the heaviest weapon your three-year-old mind could conjure. A plate of dusted waffles! She took the plate, and the yelling stopped. A valuable lesson in the power of bribery. Foundational Trait - Of Waffles and Bribery Successfully bribing someone to like you, made you realise a fundamental truth of Imperial diplomacy, though you didn't realise it at the time. Bribes and a friendly smile grease the wheels of the machine of state.
