Biography[]
Pavlena's biological mother died during childbirth with Pavlena. With her father not in the picture, Bozhena, who was the town's midwife, took the baby girl in and raised her as her own. As such, as she grew up, Bozhena would take Pavlena with her when she was called on as needed by the women in the area.
While Pavlena was still really young, one fateful night Bozhena was called on by another villager, Jakesh, to assist his wife, Ludmila, who'd been in labor for several hours already. However, he had sent for assistance too late and Ludmila ended up giving birth to a stillborn baby boy before she herself died from the exhaustion. Bozhena could only helplessly stand by but Jakesh, not realizing his son had been stillborn, accused Bozhena of having damned his son for not christening him before death, and letting his wife die. He riled up the rest of the town and they drove Bozhena out of town with Pavlena.
Bozhena was then forced to live in isolation with Pavlena in a small hut out in the forest, making due with what they could forage from the land. As Pavlena grew older, she took to making baskets to sell in town to help out, as at least the villagers didn't blame her for what happened that fateful night as she'd only been a little girl. On her first visit to Troskowitz with the baskets though, she met Roman, a local woodcutter, and the two immediately took a liking to each other. Over time, their relationship grew, though she kept this a secret from her mom, afraid Bozhena might think she was going to leave her behind. When Pavlena found out she was pregnant, she and Roman planned to run off and get married and move somewhere else, making sure that they'd bring Bozhena along.
One day as she returned home, she found two injured men, Hans Capon and Henry, with her mother, who explained how they'd been attacked a few nights ago, but Bozhena had managed to save them. The two men then set off for their destination shortly after, thanking the women for their hospitality.
A short time later, Pavlena headed to Troskowitz to sell some baskets and meet up with Roman. However, plans went awry when the two met up as some of Jakesh's hired hands ambushed them, accidentally killing Roman in the process. Not knowing what else to do, one took Pavlena captive while the other hastily tried to bury Roman.

- Thanks to Henry, Pavlena was found and reunited with her mother. However, now realizing there was still clear animosity from Jakesh against Bozhena which caused her boyfriend's death, the two women had enough and asked Henry to do something about Jakesh, as otherwise they'd never know peace.
