Oriannas life may seem perfect to the outside world and how she speaks of it. Raised as a lady, raised educated, raised to be respectful to others and polite and mannerable.. but this all was just an outward show.

To all she spoke to, she always defended her father, speaking of how great a man he was, raising her to be how a Lady 'should' be. Taking care of her, directing her life to something respectful, worrying about all her needs and keeping her from making bad choices. To some, this may sound wonderful.. having a father that cares so much, but in truth, it was not so. She was lying.

Oriannas mother died when she was five. People say it was a sickness of the heart, but in truth, she died from depression. Her father was actually a secret control freak. Outside the home, he could carry on a conversation, was charming, intelligent, respectful... a true gentleman. Everyone liked him, and admired how he seemed to insure his daughter was the same. They took the timidness she displayed as being shy and thought it cute and adorable.

On the inside of his home, it was the complete opposite. He was abusive verbally, somewhat violently. He would constantly demean her, call her useless and no good, that she was always messing everything up and failing everything he was trying to teach her. He would throw things at her and push her into walls and lock her away when he didn't want to deal with her. Then, he would come to her, sit her down.. and talk to her like a loving father, and tell her he did this to her for her own good. That she would be stronger and well liked and respected and admired... if she would just 'do better' Everything he was doing was also just, toughening her up. Then he would kiss her forehead, mess her hair in a playful way, and then get her to clean house, cook.. everything chore wise till she was exausted and went to bed.

He made sure she was educated... that was true. School work was something he made sure she completed. Reading, writing, math.. all of it was to be done right away when she got home, which she learned quickly to multi task as she cooked, cleaned and everything else.

There was also her fighting skills he forced on her as well. As odd as this may seem for a man doing what he was to her, he felt it was a good way to keep her disciplined under his rule. Her training was strict, and it also made her tired, hence she was constantly mentally and physically drained to ever think of fighting back. Though, she would never actually do so, he had succeeded at making her what he wanted her to be. He had paid well for her training at the university, she received the best training they had to offer.

After she graduated, her father started closing in on himself... he changed. No longer was he a social butterfly, and instead, he closed himself off from the world, never leaving his home, he resorted to drinking. Orianna took care of him despite this change. She loved him and even when he started getting violent, she would merely deflect his blows, having learned all the fighting techniques to do so and continued to do pretty much as he demanded. He was dieing, she didn't know how long it would take.. but she knew it was coming.

When her father drank himself to the point of passing out, she took those times as opportunities to venture forth into the world. She knew that if she was gone out longer then he was asleep, she would get a verbal bashing and some potential physical abuse, but she had to go, seeing him dieing was to much for her to stand while he was awake, him sleeping made her feel like he was dead.. and it broke her heart.

The day was coming... and she didn't know what she would do when it did.
