Ice was born to a horticultural family. She trained informally in Ishgardian lancery before setting out to see the world. Having found the um.. rugged? streets of Ul'dah and a band of scallywags to keep company with Ice has thrown away her disciplined ways and embraced a life of adventuring, living for the moment, and crude humour. Like most adventurers Ice occasionally passes out and has dreams about shiny rocks. After an unfortunate incident involving an escort mission and a Cyclops Ice has decided to branch out and is studying the ways of the warrior. Taking a dps attitude towards the art Ice is somewhat distracted from the opportunity to protect the weak by the opportunity to bludgeon things with an axe.
