Like most halflings in Cheliax, Joliryn was born into servitude. She was an unremarkable slave who earned her share of harsh words and beatings, but as she approached adulthood, she began to notice strange auras about the manor house - especially her master's ring, which glowed brightest of all. Her master was Alranair Leroung, a young scion of the Leroung noble house famed for its mastery of the arcane powers. To Alranair's shame, he was magically inept and often covered for his failures with the help of his magical ring.
As Joliryn's ability to see magic grew, she also developed her own arcane talents. It was not long before Alranair learned of her natural skill that overshadowed his own tricks, and he beat her savagely and demanded she never cast another spell. However, the more she watched Alranair's charlantry, the more incensed she grew that he could flaunt his lies while she was forbidden from expressing her spellcasting in any way. When Alranair was entertaining guests at a prestigious dinner party, the halfling's frustrations boiled over, and she loudly announced he was a fraud in the middle of his favority parlor trick. His retaliation was swift and brutal, and she awoke the next morning covered in wounds and informed that she had been sold to an estate in Ostenso.

Her new master insisted on being called by her first name, Suliji, and she had purchased Joliryn specifically that she could use her magic as she liked and as a free halfling. Of course, Suliji wanted some assistance with some other jobs, but she was willing to release Joliryn from her slavery and pay a fair wage. Ever since, the halfling has proudly worked with Suliji, who in turn has trained her in the art of swordplay and given her a prestigious role in the Aspis Consortion. The young protégé is a natural, and many of her coworkers tell stories of the unrepentantly lethal halfling who paints the battlefield with blood, wielding spells as her palette and a scimitar as her brush.
