Dolgana was abandoned at an Irorian monastery shortly after birth, and as such does not know her last name or parents. The monks raised her to value perfection; achieving inner peace requires a balance of physical, mental, and spiritual purity. Knowing nothing of the world but the daily rituals of the monks, Dolgana excelled at her studies and was the youngest to begin training.
One component of her studies included venturing into the nearest city for provisions. It was there that the nearest 16 year old acolyte witnessed two street thugs assaulting a woman in an alley. The girl dispatched the two thugs with ease, but was unaware of the 3 gang members nearby. Overwhelmed, she quickly lost consciousness.
When she awoke months later in the abbey, she was scared and heavy with child. Her fellow monks nursed her to recovery, and through the birth of her daughter. Three days afterward she was expelled from her home. She was impure, and thus unworthy of Irori's blessings. Her daughter would be raised as she was.
Dolgana turned to the bottle; off she was impure she might as well be the most impure woman alive. It was in the bottom off her cups that she discovered another form of enlightenment: drunken mastery of her mind and body. Determined to show that enlightenment comes from within, share began stitching together the monk's mysteries herself. Each new achievement she discovered she tattooed to her body, spoiling it in the eyes of her old masters and transforming her body into a walking tome of mysteries.
Now she finds herself going from bottle to bottle and tavern to tavern, searching out perfection through liquor blurred lenses. Between hangovers she earns coin by peddling her tattooing skills.
