Growing up in Kenabres with the Seeker's Spiral and the evidence of her otherworldly heritage in her blue hair,
Siff was often looked at strangely and teased, but mostly shunned.
When she was 16 her foster parents revealed her parent's association with the Riftwardens.
Horrified and fascinated in equal measure, she did what she could to find out more about the Riftwardens but
was balked at every turn.
Disheartened, but finally having some knowledge of her parents, her mother for instance hailed from Varisia, she
convinced her foster parents to help her find any relatives that might still be alive.
After some correspondance back and forth from Kenabres and Varisia, it came to light that Siff's mother's brother
and his family lived in Riddleport. Further correspondance revealed their delight in discovering they had a neice
the hadn't known about. Arrangements were made and Siff was soon on her way to Magnimar.
Embraced without reservation by her exended family, Siff felt a belonging she'd never experienced before. Plunging
headlong into the Varisian culture, she found an identity beyond that of Riftwarden orphan.
One tradition intrigued her greatly: that of the Varisian tattooed mage. Feeling within, her own arcane awakening, she
sought out elders of the Varisian tradition for guidance and initiation.
Many days of meditation and instruction followed, revealing to her the disquieting revelation that her power came from
a connection to the Abyss. Though the elders cautioned her not to over-react, she was horrified . The same
corrupt power that caused the death of her parents, now coursed through her own veins, the source of her power.
It took many meetings with the elders for their message to sink in: no matter the source of one's power, it was the individual
who chooses what form or purpose that power serves.
Sitting on a beautiful spring day, overlooking a vista of trees and gently rolling hills, Siff came to the determination that she'd
return to Kenebres and use her powers against their very source, helping to close the Worldwound and find out what happened to her
parents.
Finishing her last meetings with the Varisian elders, Siff then underwent the painful and arguous tatooing process. During the ritual,
she couldn't help but feel her connection to the Abyss grow stronger, but stronger was her will to master the corruption within.
Emerging from the elder's tent, Siff walked tall and confident, her fresh tatoos glowing faintly her destiny awaiting in far away Kenebres.
