Age 20: After Frida had her limbs replaced at the age of 18, her mother offered to have a matchmaker look for suitors for her, Frida was very tentative on the idea as she personally did not know what she was interested in, but went along with it anyways; The matchmaker found 5 men who they thought would fit Frida's ideas and lifestyle, she turned them all down as she had no interest, as she was at home playing the piano, finishing a piece she had been working on she heard a clap from behind her, one of the servant ladies had been watching her perform, Frida waved her down to come closer and asked her name, her name was Isla D'viara, she told Frida that she would often come and watch her play when she was cleaning and talked about how she always wanted to learn to play, Frida smiled at her and told her to sit and said she would help teach her, and that is what she did every day she could, she would sit with Isla in the study and teach her how to play the piano and eventually over the year she would help her learn the basics of piano, Frida and Isla become closer as the days went on.
