The first born male of every Bigge family has always served in the King's Guard as a family tradition.

She aims for the highest position attainable as a King's Guardsman, wanting to surpass all those who told her she was too small or weak to make it past foot solider. To prove to herself, and all the noble families watching the Bigge's, that her family was not to be trifled with.
