Majory is the daughter of a landless knight from the county of York who traded her as a baby to the Fairies of the Summer Court for the gift of his wife becoming pregnant with a son, whom he could train to take over his title.  Appreciating irony, the fairies in turn raised and trained Majory in the combat skills her father intended to teach is son before releasing her back into the world.
Shona’s younger friend and handmaiden Majory has always been more intelligent and academically inclined then her more social superior, something Shona has long appreciated.  Indeed, without Majory’s constant assistance, the Scottish lady may never have gotten though all the basic liberal arts she was expected to know even before she started her magical studies.  When she did start learning magic from the local hedge wizard (later discovered to be a Diedne disciple) Majory was right there with her.


Arriving in York with little understanding of the real world, Majory wondered and make a living selling her sword until an innkeeper who disapproved of her unladylike behavior told her that she should go guard a wizards convenient where they keep unnatural people like her.  Taking the insult as good advice, Majory made her way to Coventus Muri and offered her services.
As a result, when Cathaoire traveled through looking to train the young hedge witch she’d heard about in the area, she originally mistook Majory as the gifted woman over her friend Shona.  By the time Cathaoire had sorted out fully gifted, partly gifted, farie blooded and simply intelligent both young women were already back at the covenant and settling in.  This arrangement ultimately worked well for Cathaoire, who could take advantage of Majory’s quicker intellect to help Shona through her apprenticeship without unduly bothering the Magus.


Over the few years she was there, she served proudly in a guard that appreciated her and become good friends with the familiar looking fairy-blooded Shona.  When Shona declared her intentions to leave the convent and seek out another to join, Majory offered to accompany her, confident that wherever the new magus Shona landed, her shieldgrog would be accepted and appreciated.
By the time Shona’s apprenticeship ended, Majory found herself a fully trained laboratory assistant on top of being the handmaiden she’d expected to be as a child.  The amiable situation only adding further proof to herself that things would all work out, Majory happily supported Shona’s idea of moving off to another covenant and later even to heading out into the unknown to found one of their own.
