Fes has had a rather colorful life so far, and she's not particularly interested in slowing down. She was born with a full head of white hair, which was taken by her parents as a suggestion of Aasimar ancestry somewhere fairly far back in her family line - she's certainly never demonstrated much in the way of holy power. However, she did stand out somewhat in crowds, and this ultimately attracted the attention of a group of slavers who took her from her parents while she was still quite young.

Unlike many of those who fell into slavery, Fes (as the slavers came to call her) managed to avoid a majority of the abuse. It wasn't through any real mercy or kindness on the part of the slavers, though - what they quickly discovered was that she was incredibly flexible and a natural master with the dueling blade, and they were keen to hone that to the fullest so that she could compete in their often-violent games. They may have been slavers, but even they recognized the difference between a menial laborer and a good source of income - besides, if they were going to make her an excellent fighter, they didn't want her to have a personal reason to turn on them.

Fes did fairly well within the games for as long as she was in them, but she was eventually bought out by a relative of one of the noble families of Brevoy. It took quite a chunk out of the family's funds, but the father was determined to see to it that their child would stay safe on an expedition that would soon be heading out to claim new lands... and he didn't trust mercenary types who might quickly abandon the quest or look to seize power at the expense of their former employers.

Fes is loyal and reliable in her own way - she doesn't have any particular problem with being a slave (probably because she's been treated reasonably well), and she honestly does enjoy performing in combat. That said, she's strongly opinionated and has her own ideas on the relative positions she and her owner possess; as the warrior, she takes the stage in battle and will fight hard to protect the one who holds her contract. Conversely, however, they are responsible for seeing to it that she has what she needs... like decent meals, supplies for repairing the entertainment outfit that she wears into battle, and her own spending money. She's not above refusing to cooperate if those things aren't provided (though she will make exceptions based on the circumstances - for example, if all of their food is stolen, she'll help them get more).

The expedition plans have her as one of the choices for serving as either Marshal or Royal Enforcer, though considering her personality and views, she'd probably do better in the former position.
