Camassia comes from a powerful family of dryads in an aristocracy. Unfortunately, when those lower in status than them went through crisis, they stood idly by, and Camassia stayed a pawn during those times (and lost precious friends in the process, one in particular seemed to leave a deep scar). Afterwards, she regretted her decision and took an indefinite leave, but kept her family name as it makes those of high status from other worlds who know her lineage see her as worth talking to and making deals with. Not only does she have far more freedom, but more opportunities to help those in strife without feeling forced to turn a blind eye.
