History before Coming(Returning) to Thay: As the Half blood product of a typical Thayan merchant and an elven slave, her life was looking dull from the moment of her conception. Luckily(or unluckily depending on view), A few days after her birth upon the road, before the merchant had time to sell her to a wealthy buyer, a group of adventurers stumbled upon the caravan and waylaid it as it tried to make its way to the buyer in Eltabbar. In the resulting chaos between the Guards of the caravan and the Adventurers, the merchant was injured and had his Guards carry him away from the carnage and escaped. Her mother was not as lucky and died by a few stray crossbow bolts.
After the adventurers searched what was left of the caravan, they found the child, no more than a few days old, wrapped in worn and torn cloths and blankets. They had one out of the company of 5 look after her while they argued over what to do with the child and eventually all agreed to spirit her away from Thay to the Storm Coast, where they found a home for her with two recently retired adventurers.
And so the Darkest weeks of her childhood, lost in the haze of an undeveloped mind, was over. She grew up with her adopted parents happy, and eventually found her way to her patron of Tymora when a wandering lone bard in her service stopped in the small village where she lived near for a few weeks. During those few weeks the bard filled her head with stories of the world and some of its wondrous and infamous denizens, including Thay. The Bard also taught her the basics of music in her free time.
When the bard left, the stories faded into the back of her mind as the weeks progressed back to normality, until her adoptive parents died of old age and she was left with nothing but a small home and a simple life of farming. But her mind soon returned to the stories of the Bard a couple years earlier and she put plans to travel and see the world, selling her small house and leaving a chest of trinkets with the care of the local clergy, buying supplies and a few books of music to begin her travels. A few weeks later she finds herself at the entrance of Thay, unbeknownst to her that she is returning home...
