Unfortunately, she had no PrinceCharming (or Charmless) to rescue her when she was 10, nor a law against being dumped in a forest, so that's what happened. So when she awoke as a semi-immortal, she went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and tore a bloody swath through her home country, only stopped when a summoned "hero" wooed and married her.
