Sarania was raised in a loving home, a rare find in manyareas of Ustalav. Although her childhood was stable, there was always a longing in Sarania, a longing that lead her into mischievous ways. In and out of trouble with local law enforcement from a young age, Sarania had far from a normal childhood.
This abnormality was exacerbated when she finally came of age as a woman. She experienced "the call," a hypnotic spiritual voice that invited her out into the wilds of Ustalav. Curious, Sarania ventured out in search of the source of the mystery.
At the end of this journey, she came face to face with her true mother, an Annis hag of great power. Sarania was presented with on opportunity... to join her mother and become a hag. This life would lead to great power, but the nature of the hag and the inherent evil in her did not sit well with Sarania.
She left the wilds, returning to town with a renewed understanding of herself. It was at this point that she met Professor Petros Lorrimor. The professor was interested in studying Sarania, as a changeling is a rare find and a changeling that has encountered its mother and resisted the call is rarer still.
A friendship formed between the two, and a greater sense of curiosity was stoked in Sarania. It is this new-found curiosity that has led her to a life of adventure and the path of the carrion crown.
