Rukea was born the 6th child and 3rd daughter to low level nobility in drow society. So when her older sister Rukea got to go to the academy to train to train as a warrior it was a great step forward for their family. Even though she was going to be a fighter and not a priestess or a powerful magic user acceptance into the elite school of the upper nobility was a step forward for the family. Rokea was a good hand to hand fighter but was one of the best ranged fighters in her class. Capitalizing on her stealth, ranged attacks, surprise, and her innate magical abilities, she decided to become a cavern sniper.
Rokea just before her graduation as is tradition she went on a surface raid. During this raid she got lost and upon finding her way back was accused of desertion. She was thrown out of the academy and brought to trial. This was the ultimate embarrassment for her family and could not be tolerated. Rukea, her younger sister tried to defend her but was quickly shut down by her mother and the authorities. Rokea's sentence was exile.
Rukea begged and pleaded with her mother to fight for Rokea, and take her back, but Rukea's mother refused. Rukea angered by her mothers abandonment of her older sister ran away to join her. They made their way to surface but somewhere took a wrong turn and ended up in the middle of the Magwi Expanse.
Rokea and Rukea spent the several years living in the wild. Together they learned how to survive and navigate the deadly jungle. While Rokea often went hunting alone, Rukea would sit and watch the animals. From watching the animals Rukea learned to fight. She learned how to be as nimble as a crane and as deadly as a tiger.
Life like this continued until they spotted a group of explorers. After observing the explorers, they are followed back to Sargarva. After learning about the cities location they visited. Staying in the shadows Rokea and Rukea went to the seedier part of town and started learning as much as they could about it. After doing this for several weeks they finally decided what they would do, so took up jobs as guides to explorers. Using the skills and information gathered over their many years living in the jungle they decided to become jungle guides.
One day a very wealthy client asked of them in they would be in the mood for something a little different. And with that they answered, "depends." This client then went on to offer A large amount of money for them to accompany him to his own town. So they went, and when they reached his home town, he offered them more money to stay. Sensing something fishy they declined his offer. So Rokea and Rukea set sail aboard the Jenivere, and headed back home.
