Biography
Moorin ran an orphanage in the slums of the Kingdom of Velka, and had taken in many children throughout the years. One day, she was visited by her old friend and benefactor Karg D. Verand. During this visit, Karg noticed that the orphanage had a lot of new toys. He asked Moorin if they were from a new sponsor, but she claimed that they were all crafted by one of the orphans named Oscar. Karg met Oscar and learned from him that had managed to make those toys so fast by replicating what Karg did after witnessing him use his transmutation magic to repair a broken plate during his previous visit one month prior. Impressed with how fast Oscar had managed to pick up such skills as craftsman, Karg decided to take him as his apprentice, and would eventually have employed him at the infamous Orcus Workshop.

One night when Oscar was checking up on Moorin's orphanage after work, as well as examining the hidden systems he had previously made, he wasn't able to find anyone inside. After frantically searching for them, only to be greeted by a mysterious girl named Miledi who was cooking dinner in the kitchen while making passes at him, Oscar was about to kick her out when the orphanage's children suddenly appeared from various hiding spots and claimed that she was actually their guest. As everyone was having dinner, Moorin cheerfully explained to Oscar that them disappearing was just to prank him and apologized for scaring him. The dinner conversation shifted to most of the children bragging to Miledi about how great they thought Oscar. However one boy named Ruth Verand instead instead harshly criticized him to the point of calling him a loser. Moorin immediately demanded that Ruth Verand Verand apologize to Oscar in a various serious tone, but he refused to do so. Miledi then stood up for Oscar by claiming that he was actually an incredible talented person, as well as being the reason for her visit. Taken aback by Milidi's sudden declaration, Oscar asked why she wanted to see him, but she only responded with remarks that was annoying him, and had even jokingly accused him of not wanting to be with be because he wanted to marry his foster sisters Corrin and Katy. This utterly infuriated Oscar and kicked Miledi out of Morrin's home.

One week later, as Oscar was once again visiting the orphanage, Moorin suddenly approached him in a panicked state. She explained to him that several of the children had failed to return home from their errands. She had previously asked the town guard for help, but they refused to comply. Moorin suspected that something very bad was about to happen based on how determined they were not to get involved. Oscar had managed to locate them at the kingdom's mines thanks to the "Silver Slate" artifact he created that allowed him to track matching pendants he had made for them. Oscar promised to rescue the children and ordered her to barricade herself inside her home with its defense systems. As he was about to leave, Moorin asked Oscar to care of himself during his search, to which he promised, but still left her concerned for him.

After Oscar, and later Miledi, rescued the kidnapped children that had been taken by the Holy Church, Moorin and her family were taken in by Miledi's group, the Liberators, for their protection. Unfortunately, Katy and Dylan were unconscious due to being experimented on during their abduction, and could not be healed through normal means. They eventually reached the Liberators' hidden village at the bottom of Reisen Gorge. Since then, she had continued to help take care of the children (as well as those that had been with the Liberators).

Months later, the Liberators were attacked by mutated demons from the Igdol Empire. They were forced to evacuate, with Morrin having to carry Katy out. They were eventually met up with members from the Schnee Clan and found refuge with them in their hidden village in the Obsidian Tundra. Soon afterwards, they were met with Meiru Melusine, as she could use her own Ancient Magic to heal Katy and Dylan. While she had been successful at awakening them, the damage they received to their souls was beyond even her ability to restore. As such, the two of them were only capable of executing the simplest of movements, and could not communicate properly.
