Saralee was a servant girl all her life until shortly after her mother was murdered. She grew up in a castle: cleaning, cooking and whatever else was needed. It was the Grand Duke's castle and therefore she was treated a little better than other servants of lower nobility. As a kid she often played with the Grand Duke's son though it was forbidden. They always snuck away and would play in the woods nearby. They became the best of friends during her servitude there. They always had fun though a few times they had gotten caught and she was punished for it. She never told her friend though cause she knew it would only upset him.

When Saralee was thirteen her mother started to get sick. One night she heard someone come into their room which were down in the servant quarters. She grew still from fear and listened to what was happening. She could only hear movement so she turned and looked but acted as though she was asleep. She saw a middle aged man dropping a liquid down her mother's throat. At first she thought it was medicine until after the man left and her mother's breathing became more shallow as each second ticked by. Within two minutes her mother was dead. She ran to tell her mother's friend who said it had to be someone sent from the king but that they could do nothing about it.

Saralee began to build a wall around her heart, after such a horrible loss. She started planning to run away from the castle and away from the horrible Duke. She knew that she could make it on her own stealing because she had down it a million times in the castle. She knew how to pick locks and how to pick pockets as well. When she turned fifteen she took her things late one night and left. She never told anyone not even her best friend as she was not one for goodbyes.

For the last three years she had been working for the Thieve's Guild and had risen in rank fairly quickly with no jail time spent. She was eighteen now and thhe guild was giving her her first important mission. She was to steal from the Duke himself. She knew why they were giving her this asignment and she knew she could do it. She knew the layout like the back of her hand. She got her things ready for the night's escapades. She was told to steal a rare blue diamond from the Duke's bedroom.

~~~Later That Night~~~

Saralee made her way through the castle by peering around corners, picking locks or pick-pocketing the guards when the lock was too advanced. She remembered a secret passageway from her childhood and made her through it to the bedroom. She snuck in and noticed nobody there. She shrugged and spotted the jewelery box. She started picking the lock when she began to hear noises. She immediately froze then finished the lock, a small click let her know it was open. She hurriedly grabbed the jewel and a few other valuable items and slid into the shadows nearby, trying to make her way to the passageway.
