Since Josie is Faith's younger sister, she had the same family troubles. Since she was too young to go out on her own at the time that her brother turned on them, she stayed with her mother and the two of them traveled together. This is how she didn't develop the same independence as her sister, but still can be paranoid about strangers at times.

Five years ago, she was reunited with her sister and they lived together until Laura was murdered. At this, her mother decided that it was too dangerous for them to stay together and that she was finally old enough to take care of herself. She stayed in Kaymakli City for awhile, though she had trouble finding work. However, during that time she had some sort of mysterious benefactor who payed her rent so that at least she had a roof over her head, and occasionally when there was trouble, she would blank out and wake up somewhere safe. She decided that perhaps there are such things as guardian angels, or that maybe her sister was watching over her from the afterlife.

One of the last places she was dropped was Ambrose, where she met a handsome young palace guard, an elf named Orym. After some mix-ups involving a mysterious pet rabbit and some promises for dinner, she ended up moving in with Orym. He eventually proposed to her, but she was hesitant to accept for various reasons.

She was then reunited with her sister a second time, quite surprised at her return from the dead, which was never explained to her. Laura was able to convince Josie of her true feelings for Orym, Laura's motives being that she wanted Orym always to be around to protect her little sister. Josie approached Orym after this and agreed to marry him, and the two worked together to change her name legally to Bein Herves, a name of his choosing, in order to protect her identity as she was afraid that getting married would get her killed, the way it did her sister.

The happy couple began planning a wedding, and after some time finally tied the knot. Her sister gave them an all-expense paid honeymoon in Xenshi, figuring they would like the different culture and that it would be a safe place to hide out after such a big event as a wedding.

Upon their return, they moved back into his apartment in Ambrose, and while things were happy for awhile, it was not to last. Tragedy struck, though it wasn't Bein's life it claimed, as predicted. It was the dreaded curse of the Orym family that caught up to her new husband. He was on night patrol when a roof shingle fell on him and injured his shoulder. Suddenly unable to use his fighting arm, he was caught off-guard and defenseless when a necromancer jumped him and dragged him off to the woods to sacrifice him in some dark ritual. Poor Orym.

Completely heartbroken at the loss of her husband, Bein is trying to survive without him. She receives some benefits from her late-husband's life insurance but took up a job as a part-time waitress to occupy some of her time.
