Silikko Warrie-Lochatlan

Silikko Warrie-Lochatlan is a member of House Lochatlan, a noble family in Anglunia.

Childhood
Silikko Warrie-Lochatlan was born in the town of Norstaeyya in the summer of 157 TE. Her mother was Mash Dardellan-Lochatlan, the daughter of the local onsyr, and her father was Warrie von Fyra-Tjugo, back then tilvindlayin Norst and a vindyi member. Due to some obscure circumstances Silikko was born as a kumiho, with both elven and snow-white fox ears and a large tail. The rumour was the one to blame was Warrie's unknown descent, as no one, including himself, knew where he had come from.

Most of the time Mash was busy in her study, and Silikko didn't even have a room of her own, so she had no other option but to live in Warrie's house, making a big couch upstairs her bedding. As a small child she indulged in playing with other children and her father, exploring the ebony woods behind the house and climbing trees to hide from her parents. Being a sturdy and witty girl, she would often find herself in a company of boys, and rather than toying with dolls like other girls she would prefer to spend a night in a hut of branches, away from home, making Warrie particularly worried. Such antics frequently got Silikko in jeopardy with her rather austere mother, who would punish her by making her stand in a corner for extensive amounts of time, thinking of how wrong her actions were. However, unfortunately for Mash, these punishments never made Silikko reconsider her behaviour.

When Silikko turned 5, she was forced to study by her mother. Although Mash never found enough time to teach her daughter herself, she hired a private tutor to teach her how to read and count, and would often come to her classes in order to check if Silikko was learning well. Yet no matter how despotic Mash could be at times, Silikko was not in the slightest degree interested in old books and she would sometimes run away into the woods to play, leaving her tutor hanging and causing a sway of righteous fury from her mother.

By the age of 8 Silikko resembled a street urchin more than a daughter of a prominent noble family. Through the efforts of her mother she learnt to speak and read pretty well, and became quite the eloquent little girl with a frivolous and gregarious attitude.

Silikko was later initiated into Arternaia in 167 TE. The ritual of conversion was performed by her mother, as the latter was one of the head priests of Arternaian faith. Although Silikko was hardly agitated for picking Belana, the goddess of wisdom and youth, as her patron, the night before the ritual she stole her father's hammer and then smuggled it into the temple under her clothes. In the last moment of conversion, standing in front of Mash in the temple of Klarien, she tossed away the book she was supposed to sacrifice and threw her father's hammer into the blue flames, gushing out a rapid prayer to Tollan. In that instant Mash was staggered, as was every visitor of the temple. Later on, Silikko was told off and punished for her actions, yet, nonetheless, she felt like she at last defended her stance.
