Original canon
Born into a wealthy family, her village (elven) got taken over by the human Kingdom, who gave them a decent amount of autonomy, only assigning them a human mayor to take care of things. The village itself got humanized, they built buildings more for for humans' liking, and most of the elf families moved out of the way, wanting to live in complete towns and cities rather than a town under major "repair." They kept the name, and it is called "Lynsaarne". Her family stayed in the town, gaining the good regards of the mayor.

Her mother was killed as a part of a bribe, but the bribe money wasn't asked from the father, which turned him into somewhat cold and bitter, overprotective man. Lotte wasn't really allowed to go out, and she was homeschooled, overly protected, her father didn't not care for her, he was just busy and just being around her brought him grief. Later on, as the father was interested about the underbelly of society, he bought a building that was fit to be made into a tavern. (now inn). Once Lotte reached 15 (or the equivalent), she was put there to work to better her practical skills, cooking, cleaning (skills she possessed after years of taking care of herself)

What she really needed experience with was social skills. Spending time along for the most part made her into somewhat of a recluse, and she developed high social anxiety, but soon enough she learned how to work with it, learning to mask it off with a fake customer-service smile and a fake cheery demeanor. She was well-liked, not harassed and overall people were pleasant to her.. for the most part.

She gains the power of magic, and people in the village think she's cursed, as does she. This would happen at the age of 16 or so for her, and she's just as confused as the people in the village. She has no control over it but instead of burning her at the stake as a witch, she agrees to go live in a cabin up North. She lives comfortably, and has quite grown fond of that lifestyle, along with trying to gain power over the magic which drove her away. Now she's a cabin-dwelling Hermit with magic that she has trouble gaining control over so early on, but has now grasped abilities of "Acceleration/Growth/Life/The Light".

Ways of Darkness canon
Overall, Lotte Faróna's life story in Ways of Darkness is almost identical to the one in her original canon, minus the parts that are incompatible with established Ways of Darkness lore, e. g. magic not being a taboo at all in human society, Lynsaarne having a slightly different history that doesn't involve military takeovers (the Human Kingdom Etrand never fought a war with either of the Elven Kingdoms - Froturn and Dragoc - that resulted in territorial changes, let alone in Etrand's favour), etc.

Lotte Farona was born into a wealthy family in the village of Lynsaarne, Kingdom of Etrand, on the 805.75275910428. In her youth, she enrolled in the Mages Guild in Grandfolk to learn magic, but after learning the basics, instead of staying on the path of a wizard, she returned to Lynsaarne and became an innkeeper, and in 831, decide to author a book named Inn-credible.
