The guards chased her throughout the Commons when they caught up with her she fought back and accidentally caused the death of one of them. She was doing well for herself until she got caught attempting to steal a ruby-encrusted purse from Damira Helmi. She considered working as a Noble hunter but she had neither the looks nor the temperament so she worked as a thief operating in certain parts of the Commons. According to Sigrun, she was afraid to admit that she was responsible for this crime because Beraht would have killed her.Īfter this incident, with her mother dead and her uncle unwilling to take her back, Sigrun joined the Carta. Eventually it was discovered and Mischa was exiled to the surface for theft, though she could also have been executed for this crime. According to Sigrun, he threatened to kill Mischa if she didn't do as he said. One day, a statuette of the Paragon of House Bemot was stolen Beraht, the Carta's boss, forced Sigrun to hide the statuette in Mischa's shop.

Sigrun believes that Mischa kept her occupied because she believed if the casteless were left idle, they would return to their former state of criminal behavior. Since then Mischa employed Sigrun in her shop and constantly sent her for errands in order to keep her occupied some of those errands brought her to Janar. Instead of telling the shopkeeper, she paid for the stolen goods and gave Sigrun a job at her shop in the Commons. She was sympathetic to the plight of the casteless, feeling that they turned to crime because most other options of supporting themselves were closed to them. A local store owner, Mischa, once caught her stealing a leg of nug once.
