History:
Syrosi was born one of seven children her parents had and being the one who sat right in the middle meant that she generally was left to her own devices growing up. Of her siblings she got along the best with her oldest sister, with whom she frequently sparred in order to help her older sister hone her skills with the spear.

Whilst Syrosi her early life was mostly uneventful that changed when one day out of sheer boredom she decided to go explore the waters around her home further out. It was during this fateful trip that she got captured by a passing slaver ship. She tried to escape and ultimately failed to and after a few weeks trapped on that ship she was eventually sold on the slave markets. The first people who owned her tried to have her broken in to become a pleasure slave, but after several failed attempts at that and two dead slave trainers they opted to cut their losses and sold her of to the fighting pits, figuring she'd get herself killed or worse in there.

Instead Syrosi found a place in which she could thrive. Though she was young and somewhat naïve at first she quickly learned that in the pits it was everyone for themselves. Once that lesson truly sank in for her did she start to thrive, she was cold and methodical when it came to the fighting in the pits, foregoing the showmanship others did for simple cold efficiency and she quickly grew into a accomplished fighter.

With every fight she won, she put her own winnings aside, saving them up so she could earn her freedom, though unknown to her at the time with each fight she won her price went up as she simply became more valuable as a slave. But she managed to impress a older member of Zulaca Dynasty by the name of Orlando, who was travelling through the area. He quietly offered to pay what she couldn't to buy her from the arena if she could win the fight she was scheduled for that weekend. The fight was one she won, albeit barely and the rollercoaster of emotions that followed nearly saw her kill the owner of the fighting pits for she felt cheated by the simple fact that she couldn't feasibly ever buy her freedom, but before she could act on that impulsive thought Orlando managed to step in between her and the owner and informed Syrosi that he had bought her.

Though at first Syrosi was wary of this new person who owned her, but Orlando made it clear he simply wanted her companionship and her skills as a swordswoman to act as his bodyguard. She agreed to that and over time became good friends with Orlando, seeing to his safety and his needs as he grew older. When he finally passed away of old age, Syrosi fully expected to be sold of again but to her surprise Orlando had made sure that on his death she was to become a free person.

Not knowing what to do with her newfound freedom she eventually opted to return to the Zulaca Dynasty, offering her services as a swordswoman to them, as that was the only way she could think of to repay her friend Orlando for what he did for her.
