Nine forms of Durga worshipped during Navaratri - 02 Bhramacharini

She is worshipped on the second day of Navaratri and is the second form of Mother Goddess. Bharmacharini means one who practices devout austerity. She enlightens us in the magnificent embodiment of Durga with great powers and divine grace. She holds a rosary in her right hand and a Kamandal in her left hand. She is blissful and endows happiness, peace, prosperity and grace upon all devotees who worship her. She walks bare feet.
Filled with bliss and happiness, she is the way to emancipation - Moksha.

Goddess Parvati took birth at the home of Daksha Prajapati and was called Sati. It is said to win Shiva as her husband, this is the form in which Sati did her penance for Shiva. What I am not sure is, if it Sati that is being referred to, or is it Parvati's penance to win Shiva.
