Backstory:
Lily Taharial was involved in magic from a young age, being apprenticed out to an elderly mage due to her parents vanishing just after she was born. Aria didn’t know where they went, or even if they are still alive – she was brought up in a temple of Iomadae, but it became clear the girl had some magical ability but it was uncontrolled. The church was prepared to offer up its own teachers, but an elderly man showed up claiming he was a relative, as well as skilled in the magical arts and would take responsibility for her. Lily looked up to her master, not only for giving her shelter, as well as guiding her through her curse, but also for help advancing her abilities through her sacred mystery, Occult, the ability to see ghosts. Try as Lily might, she couldn’t find her parents in the spirit world, although her abilities progressed unrestricted.
Life could very well have continued on like this for some time, had Lily not found discovered a sheaf of papers hidden in her masters study, off limits even in the best of circumstances. Inscribed within it, were instructions given by a demon, concerning her master and Lily herself. The papers detailed that the masters student should progress to mastering the possessive abilities of ghosts for their own use, as well as grooming Lily for further demonic purposes. Furious, Lily confronted her master, lashing out with a mental assault, and catching her master by surprise; she broke into his mind and discovered the relevant memories, proving the information was accurate. Leaving her former master shrieking in agony, she fled that very night, running off alone.
Alone in the world, Lily struggled, as frequent use of her oracle skills reminded her that she could still be on the path that her master (and the demon), intended. She also lacked a master to progress her studies. She returned to the church that had initially taken her in, and found food and shelter there, but turned down offers by priests there to continue her studies, terrified of her own abilities. This terror was exasperated as she began to have nightmares of demons slaughtering her parents, other times she would see herself watching impassively, or worse, breaking into the minds of innocents for her own amusement. Unwilling to embrace her powers meant that she was unable to control them, leaving Lily adrift. At a loss, she began researching demons, specifically demonic possession, deciding she wanted defence in case she ran into a demon again. Eventually, she discovered a small group of Aasimir oracles, recorded in a long ago text. They were known as the Purifiers, and they sought to counter possession or other mind controlling effects. Lily understood her path, she decided to embrace her Aasimar heritage and become a Purifier, use her own mental abilities against her enemies, and destroy all who sought mental control over an unwilling individual.
