Zuwena was born in the Kingdom of Seyam on the 8th of the Sun's Smile, 1728. Her mother was said to die in childbirth, and was supposedly the wife of Kiros, although, many people have suspected that she might have been just a mistress. From a young age, Zuwena showed an interest in politics, often begging to be sent to Oren to be taught politics; however, this never happened due to her immaturity, instead, she took up composing music, baking, and sewing dresses, which the maids of her taught her to do. She learned the Seyami court mannerisms, and attempted to make herself well acquainted with everyone at the Court of Seyam, which did not go well for her.

Eventually, she stopped showing up to court, a great relief to most of the people in the court. At age thirteen, she fell in love with a halfling boy who she dubbed 'Shorty'. Zuwena and Shorty would often sneak out of the city and explore the deserts of Korvassa. Zuwena knew this was illegal, but; she believed that he was her one true love. Until three months later, on the third of the Snow's maiden, of which he disappeared. After his disappearance, she took up hunting in Korvassa, learning to trap, retrieve, and cook her Prey.
