background:
Growing up in our isolated tower was pleasant. Papa had his studies of life and death. Mother was a servant, useful for things that required breathing. Like travelling to town for supplies. And obviously for Daddy's less cerebral interests. I was a project to keep Mother occupied. At least until I was old enough to show a talent for magic. At which point, he took pride in educating me about necromancy. He was surprised that I also had psychic talents as well, but willing to help me explore that. He was my world.
Still, he hated the limitations of being mortal and he was preparing to become a lich. Growing his knowledge and power and examining the rituals from different cultures to find if there were any advantageous variations. He had me go over each one for education and as a second pair of eyes. I was particularly enamored of one that would allow me to haunt a doll. You see, as I grew older I grew less enamored of my biology as well. But I needed more power before transitioning, and Papa wanted me to take some time in contemplation before such a drastic change.
Of course he told me of Talingarde and the church of Mitra. How narrow-minded they were, restricting whole areas of magic because of their bias against necromancy. But our isolation should have protected us. Sadly, nothing would stop a crusader. They came and slew the workers, slew Papa and Mama. Mama didn't even have any magical ability. They destroyed Papa's laboratory and burned his books.
But they saw children as innocent. I knew enough to play horrified and thank them for saving me. As a poor orphan, they took me away. They let me keep my bag, in which I had all my most precious belongings.
The orphanage was horrible. My small stature and the lurid details of my past made me a target. Even worse were the endless sermons. But Papa was of the opinion that most mages used a bastardized for of magic with their shouting and gestures. He had taught me to use magic by sheer force of will. And in the orphanage I learned to use magic surreptitiously. Early on there were failures, but they rarely believed the children.
I debated revealing the healing aspects of necromancy and pretending that they were gifts of Mitra. But I decided that would draw too much attention.
