In the carriage, the girl who could speak Veridian was named Adelaide Russell. Her maternal grandfather was from Veridia, so she had studied the language since childhood. Later, a great fire destroyed her home.
Her parents and grandparents all perished, leaving her as the sole survivor.
Her relatives, taking advantage of her being an orphan, conspired with outsiders to sell her to the owner of the carriage.
This man was a well-known local broker who specialized in buying people from poor, rural areas and selling them as servants to wealthy families in town.
According to Adelaide Russell, Aurora Sinclair had been sold to him by that father-daughter pair.
The broker hadn't wanted to take her at first, but he relented after seeing how pitiful the father and daughter were.
To his surprise, Aurora Sinclair slept for three full days before waking, causing her to miss out on the job opportunities in the first town.
