Background

Mjesecina or Mjesec as her nickname is was born to a commune of Hippies. 6 mothers and 8 fathers, she would never find out who was her biological parents as they all acted as one and the same. A commune in the middle of nowhere in Croatia she was raised to live off the land, care for nature and be in harmony with it. some of her parents tough her to sew hide and how to make fibrous leaves to clothes. Others taught her how to identify edible plants in the wild. Her fathers taught her the ways of stone shaping and wood craft. Her life was happy and simple, without the need for finding a job or education. She grew up understanding nature. Mjesec was perfectly fine with her life and the devastation of what was happening to the world didn't reach their pinch of paradise for a long time. But when it did it hit hard. One of the fathers had come back from the few visits to the towns speaking of people acting strange the shops all empty or looted. Not long after he started showing the signs of infection. Upon the symptoms turning violent the family didn't react at all neither fighting back nor putting up a good defense to stop the attack. Mjesec ran along with 2 of her older siblings. But they didn't find peace. For a long time they travelled across country and oceans in the end. Finding a small settlement still thriving they had tried to live with normal folk but that didn't last as it came under attack. An old fisherman who had taken them under his wing beckons them onboard and set off to safety. Or so he thought. He spoke to them of his daughter moving to America years before and that he knew they would be okay. The journey was long and fraught with danger. Storms and winds bashing the little boat around as they crossed the sea. Mjesec and her siblings fished and helps around the boat. All seemed to be okay. But only a few miles from the coast line a great storm came out to sea thrashing and near destroying the boat in seconds. The fisherman and her siblings tossed over board along with her. Clutching to a piece of wreckage she passed out from exhaustion. When she woke she heard first the sound of waves on a shore. Opening her eyes she could see indeed she had made it. With nothing but the tattered clothes on her. alone and without her family completely now. Seeing the treeline and the large boughs she made her decision right there. No more people, they bring danger. She started out onto this strange colder land in search of a home she didn't know yet.
