Fariza was raised by a soldiers family, sired by her father whilst he was fighting abroad then brought to her mother before he returned, allowing her mother to pretend that Fariza was given birth while he was away. She had an estranged prepubescence, always staying far from the towns other children who would think her ghostly complexion strange, and often spending days away from her parents, wandering the forests around the township almost instinctually.
When she reached puberty she finally recieved "The Call", leaving her adopted family for good and attempting to find her true mother. She began to speak a strange language she had never heard before, her body becoming wracked with seizure and the words spilling from her lips without her control, thought she understood every word of it. A phrase that would be repeated over and over is "He who walks in blood", and the hidden name of a creature god known as "Achaekek".
When she had at last found her mothers residence she discovered an old, fungus covered hut nestled within a valley atop dozens and dozens of ancient graves. Within the hut she found the decayed corpse of an immense hag, rotting as it sat before an immense tome written with evil scribblings that Fariza recognized to be in the foul language that she speaks. Each side of the hut was covered with the dark letters, repeating mentions of the bloodwalker and of a time when she would be called for serve him. Shoving the corpse of her mother out hte front of the hut Fariza took up her place in the hut and became its new resident.
For years she studied her mothers insane writings, trying to decipher the meaning from its ramblings as well as becoming more used to her changing and near monstrous form. Occasionally travelers would visit her, and she allowed them to believe that she was the same valley witch that the visitors were there to see, using them to learn about the happenings in the world around them. During the nights the dark tongue would come forth from her lips again, though she had gained a level of control over it as she grew older.
She is now 26 years of age. She now understands more of her diety and its purpose, believing that He who walks in blood speaks through her and gives her the instructions she requires. Already she has performed tasks that have been given to her through her ravings and enacted bloody assaults on those that the mantis god want dead before they become a threat, usually targeting children whom had possible destinies of greatness.
