Fay Foxglow is the only child of Edwin and Hayley Foxglow. At an early age Fay began to understand she was not like other Bree-landers. This came largely from her looks. Black hair, blue eyes and a paler complexion then most in Bree and the surrounding town. Handed down from her grandfather, Hirluin. When Lenny Applton started teasing her, the others joined in, leading Fay to spend most of her time by herself. 

The winter of her ninth year, her mother passed away due to a cough that would not go away. She recalls vividly the sweat covering her face, when she kissed her good night for the last time, and the days spent trying to finish the needlework her mom had been working on for a customer. Her father who was helping the Bree Wardens with wolves in Archet, arrived home four days after her mother had passed. Fay sat in front of the fireplace, needlework complete, and Hirluin sitting reading a book to her explaining what happened to her mother.

With her mother gone her father was forced to work more with the Bree Wardens. Fay ended up spending much of her time living with her grandfather. A gruff fellow he tired his best to keep Fay distracted. Fay now found herself even more different then the other kids, as she was for most of the year parentless. Hirluin’s solution to this was reaching out to the school mistress Anna Wintermoss, who like Fay had the dark hair of someone from the south.

Fay found herself enjoying school, and the topics Anna covered only made Fay want to learn more. At home she deepened her education with herbs and plants, when to her surprise her grandfather shared he had worked in herb lore in a shop in a city far to the south called Minas Tirith. The years passed and Fay became closer to Anna. This friendship served as a great comfort as four year later her father was killed by an orc arrow while on patrol. A year later her grandfather died of a similar illness as her mother. Hirluin had been so considered with other in the upper hill that he ran out of herbs to care for himself. “I took care of others all my life, I can die knowing I helped,” were the last words he spoke to her.

Taking the next year Fay studied all of her grandfathers herb and medicine books, and slowly started apothecary. When she returned to school the following year she noticed Anna Wintermoss had changed. He disposition was grim and often when she would stay after and talk with Fay she now slipped off only to come back through the gate in the early morning. After a few months Fay asked about the strange behaviour. In which Anna confided in her, she had been visiting to tombs of the dead. 

She told Fay strange stories, marshes in the south, woods to the east, dark towers. Fay stayed with Anna but her Bree superstation grew stronger. After all, if the things in the books were true, then what is to say that some of the stranger things did not truly walk Middle Earth, even if there had not been a dragon see in the area in over a thousand years.

In her nineteenth year, Anna went missing. With nothing keeping Fay in Bree she decided to head out on the road and see what of the tales were true, and more about her past and family to the south. She has no clue what she would do if she came across bones, spirits or strange beasts. But she knows there is more out there, and if she wants to be able to say the same as her grandfather, she needs to set out for a life of adventure. Away from ghosts that is.
