I always thought she was Anastasia of Astora, the bonfire keeper from Firelink Shrine. Anastasia was maimed for blaspheming the gods, making her a Sinner. Coming from the Age of Fire and the time Drangleic was Lordran, that could make her identity "lost in the annals of history". Adding to the lost identity and sinner parts of my hypothesis would be that they found her locked in a cell with her tongue cut off which has always been the punishment for blasphemers. Also, "trying to link the first fire" sounds something a hollowed Fire Keeper could try. And the reason I instantly thought this was Anastasia when I found out she was a woman was because her clothes look like Anastasia's to me.
