LARP character help please?

Question

LARP is Live Action Role Play, and I need help creating my character for my very first larp... A larp is basically like acting without a script, like improv. There is also a plot, and the plot is that we are in the medieval times and there are 5 main kingdoms. We all end up stuck in a part of the forest that nobody goes to, and its located in 3 of the different kingdoms. Our character has to have a reason for being there in that part of the forest. I can't be anything magical because on the day we all meet in the forest is the 1000th anniversary of the day the evil magic lord was defeated, so everyone is paranoid. My character cannot be a princess or a queen or anything to do with royalty because I asked someone more involved in the larp than me, and she said no. 

My character needs a name, a reason why she is in the forest, a weapon, what they do in there life, and a personality.

it sounds like you need everything.

Why not be a simple girl who collecting mushrooms in the forest for food. She is hungry and everybody has already collected the food out of the parts everybody goes to, so she goes to the part nobody goes to in order to find food. That would be pretty basic. If it is for some mystical reason forbidden to go to this part of the forest (that's where the evil magic lord had his lair, castle, whatever), you can have some fun sneaking around.

You can always throw in a love affair with a guy from a different kingdom, but it's a forbidden love by custom, parents, status or whatever. That is fairly traditional. You could also go for a secret assignation with him in the forest.

name: rapunzel or mariann, dianne, blondie any will do, reason: love or food  weapon: voice (people fall over when she screams for it's that loud) what she does: being a dutiful but somewhat devious and rebellious daughter doing household chores. if you don't like that you can later always turn out adopted. Personality: just go pretty much with your own or what personality traits you find attractive. Nothing too attention grabbing, she can be the normal one.

If you don't like it, just make something else up.

how about an elf or a human? elf makes more sense cuz it like lives in da forest, but either way.
and maybe a sortof hotie sure of her self personality.  as for a weapon why not a bow, or just a sword? maybe a staff?    and she could be an adventurer! or just a chick geting mushrums for dinner! 
and last a name what about aeafon? or mithiny? or bethril? or you could just make up a random name!
hope his helps! will you answer mine?
