Got PM! I sorta thought you were pondering the why-she-left forest thing. Some ideas:
1) Mora grew restless and decided to see what was beyond the forest. Just simple curiosity. She could have encountered a town, staying there awhile and learning basic society things before setting off again or maybe we're starting off with her reaching civilization for the first time.
2) Mora tried to track the iron pack after they attacked one of the marble pack wolves, got lost and wound up in a town for the first time. Townsfolk gave her some clothes (more than a torn dress) and told her the owner of that pack - nasty guy - only came up north in the winter (no, that doesn't make sense to them either) and had already headed down south to Ballena. Townsfolk tried to talk her out of heading south - since she clearly didn't know much about the world - only for her insist. One of the townsfolk traveled with her to the city, but something came up and they had to head back immediately. Mora decided to stay behind. This left her alone in the capital of Tiburon, looking for a guy name "Salvencha" that might have already traveled farther south. Which is where she begins.
3) Same as above, except Mora actually grew up in the woods between the desert and Manofaide, and "down south" is actually "down southeast" and she found herself in Casawek. In this case, Mora knew Salvencha liked to wear a crimson scarf and she saw a sign talking about crimson people or something so she hitched a wagon ride to... whatever town the current PC group there is at.
4) Mora stumbled into a nature fey ring. The sprites played a trick on her, but she otherwise emerged largely unscathed. Alas, by the time she stumbled back out into the mortal realm several centuries had passed (only a day or so for her and Luceudi) and there now stood a town where her pack used to live. Backstory then proceeds as it did in option (1).
4) Something else!
