Backstory:
Alixia's earliest memories being at an orphanage, she remembers daily prayers to the Silver Goddess Umi and the orphanage warden's readings from a small booklet containing religious verses and stories. She also remembers sneaking into the warden's room at night, searching for the booklet and, by a mixture of having memorized the readings, observing which pages were open during the readings and some reasonable guesswork, slowly but surely began teaching acquiring basic literacy over many months, always making sure to return the booklet before going to bed.
At age five, when her reading capacities were developed enough to identify unknown words based on their letter composition, she began taking other books from the warden's room, including a history book of the Kingdom of Hestia. Too absorbed in it, she didn't notice it when the warden, ever an early riser, noticed her awake reading that book. She got punished for staying up late and for taking things without permission, but got summoned into the warden's room after said punishment.
"It is a rare gift that a child learns reading by herself, but also a gift a caring parent would have loved to teach their children. You're too old to be considered adopted by a scholar, but the gift of reading you've acquired should not be wasted in the household of a worker or farmer. I've already made arrangements for you to be transferred to a monastery, where you will read, read read, and you will write, write write. Praise the Silver Goddess and her blessings will remain strong with you, Alixia."

Thus, her years working in the monastery began. A diligent servant, the seed of literacy began to bloom truly within her and she got taught writing, a skill she picked up effortlessly. At age 12, the head priest transferred her from basic household duties to the library, where she would now spent her days transcribing works so they would not be lost to excessive wear and tear. She fulfilled her duty for four more years before she requested to be able to transcribe non-religious works in her spare time. Initially hesitant, the head priest acknowledged that it would be a waste to not challenge such skills, and provided select material from noblehouses and scholars wishing to preserve their books.

The books provided a window to the outside world for her, even if just in text, and her hunger for even more books made her become just a little bit sly, as she managed to acquire a small number of books rejected by the head priest, studying them in secret. This was also her first contact with the emotion of romantic love, furiously blushing while reading a rejected book about a secluded noblewoman being abducted by a swashbuckling corsair with a chiseled chest, leading to adventure, drama and confessions on a moonlit beach.

After reaching the age of 19, grown weary of doing little else than transcribing and reading, she desired to travel the land and see the world with her own eyes. The head priest was worried about sending what would effectively be a naive girl out in the world, but both persistence and promises finally swayed him. Armed with rations, a booklet containing verses (and a certain less-holy booklet tucked deep in her back), a bedroll, a stick, a map and a small number of coins, she left the monastery, following the road while taking in sights formerly thought impossible to witness.

Of course, in the end, she was a naive priestess, and trouble wouldn't wait forever to reach her...
