Susan Grenzel



Susan Grenzel grew up in terrible poverty with her father as her mother had died at birth. Susan and her father were beggars and were not part of or ever were part of a common or royal house so Susan spent her early life roaming the streets of Kindermont looking for food and animals and occasionally watching the young men signing up to be guardsmen. When Susan was ten her father was killed by a thug due to him not paying off his gambling debts so she decided that she would sign up to the guard pretending to be a young boy and was accepted. On her second day of service she was already beaten black and blue and was considering running away but then met an older guard who had been serving for the past two months named Alan Tueton. The two immediately became friends due to them watching each other’s backs and only having an age gap difference of two years. Over the next year the two became inseparable friends and started discussing a future together as Susan had told Alan from the start that she was only pretending to be a male but however they also started to get picked on and targeted more often until they met another young guard named Henry Curtlen who was a year older than Susan. Alan believed that Henry was very smart and that the two should listen to any advice he had to give but Susan was Wary of him and it took them two years before they developed serious friendship bonds. Within those two years the three helped and taught each other new skills and how to improve old ones as well as how to look out for themselves and following Alan’s advice Susan started to do as Henry told her. One day during a routine training exercise an officer who was suspicious of Susan’s gender approached her and started to harass and interrogate her but after a few minutes of this Henry arrived. Susan not knowing what to do looked at Henry and he whispered that she needed to stand up for herself and attack him, as Henry finished this Alan arrived to see what all the commotion was about and Susan decided that she needed to do what Henry had told her especially now that Alan had arrived. Susan leapt forward and punched the officer in his eye but before she was able to step back he had already counter attacked by piercing his sword through her chest, Susan then looked down at her wound as Alan cut the officers hand off realising she was going to die and that if it wasn’t for Henry telling her to attack then she would not have gotten into her undesirable current situation.

Susan died in the year 0000 at the age of thirteen with no relatives.
