If everyone raised properly grew to reflect that upbringing, where did the first bully come from? Maipe's parents were respected members of society, so by all accounts, she should have turned out fine. Depending whom you asked, she had, and her flagrant displays of self-appointed authority were nothing more than a Firekin acting as Firekin did. She was burning bridges left and right, though, and the concern she paid to this fact was the bare minimum if that.
Maipe didn't know why, she was just always, always angry. Sometimes she didn't do what she did on purpose. Sometimes she just acted before she thought and, contrary to what others might have guessed, now and then she did regret it.
In the early morning, she paced along the training grounds. One could mistake it as running laps until she span around, only to walk in a straight line and do it again. Company was scarce, and those present seemed more interested in sparring with each other than what Seide's brat daughter was doing.
