Veliathia Shadeleaf, or at least that is the name she goes by now. At birth, the Elf was given a different name, Slave. Taken from her mother only a few month after she was born, Veliathia was sold to a somewhat wealthy family in Jin Zhao. Childhood was brutal, she was beaten, starved, and worse. Finally, after years of planning, and several failed attempts, the Elf escaped her bondage. Months on the run led her into the hands of The Black Blossom, a clan of individuals that studied the art of Ninjitsu.
Over the course of the next several years, Veliathia trained in the arts of stealth and thievery. However, try as she might, she just could not master the more mystical side of things. One day, while she was out ‘acquire’ a special statue, she saw one of the sons of the man that owned her as a child. Years of repressed anger welled up inside her, as this scion was more responsible than most for her childhood torment. The anger overriding her common sense, she followed him home, and that night……..slaughtered the family.
Feeling instant regret at what she had done, Veliathia did what she does best, run. She ran far and ended up taking passage to Zahvroma, where she has spent the last several decades existing in the shadows.
