Willow grew up as the only child of the well-off Goldworthy family in Hobbiton. As such, her life was pretty easy and full of the finer things that money can buy.

This changed abruptly, when she visited Stock, to attend the wedding of a friend of hers. It's not clear what exactly happened (it was all hushed up!), but the wedding didn't happen, Willow was to blame and her parents were furious. Sharp words were exchanged on both sides and in the end, Willow walked out of the family burrow with nothing but the clothes on her back and didn't stop until she reached Bree.

There she fell in with a slightly unsavoury crowd, learned to survive, made some new experiences and learned interesting new skills, like picking locks or snatching purses.

It was her cousin Lottie, who turned up one day and quite literally, dragged her back to the Shire by the scruff of her neck.

Since then, Willow has managed to get back on her feet and keep to the right side of the law. She joined the Grand Order of the Lost Mathom, met her mentor Saelo and is learning how to be a proper treasure hunter.
