History
The Medicine Woman was born in Europe during the Late Middle Ages. Eventually she became an herbalist, and began helping a nearby village.

Furious that the villagers were turning to natural remedies rather than God, the Church enlisted the Knights' Order to take her out. During the scuffle with Vann, the knight sent to kill her, she is fatally stabbed in the chest. Before dying, she branded his face with a heated stone, cursing him and his future incarnations.
