I'm aware of time, so here is my first draft. I expect it will flesh out when I build the character, but this is what I would base it on...
The offspring of a village attacked by orcs, Corvus was shunned by her human family once she was born - and despised by the community. This she endured until she was ten, when she ran away to join her 'orc' family.
She trekked for six months, living off the land until she found a nomadic tribe that allowed her to join them. She soon learned that in orc society, a girl was considered little more than a slave.
This feeling of worthlessness persisted for six years, until her clan was raided by a rival. Once she realised that no rescue was coming - no orc would waste any effort looking to steal her back - she switched mentally from victim to bitter realist.
She ran away again and once more learned to live off the land. But the loneliness affected her. Independence is one thing but isolation is something else. Prone to mood swings - happiness is ecstacy but sadness is suicidal - the solitary existence only made matters worse.
She longed to be accepted somewhere and had heard of a tribe led by a half-orc. If he was accepted, perhaps they would allow a woman to join them as something of an equal?
A plan formed in her mind and she sought to destroy the one thing that the orcs hated more than females. Dwarves.
By this time, Corvus knew enough about the teachings of Gorum and that only a show of strength would earn her a place among the Murdered Child.
With the thrill of the hunt in her nostrils, she knew who the prey would be. One year later, and with two dozen dwarven skulls strung over her shoulder, and a longbow in her hand, Corvus walked into the stronghold of Wyvernsting - head held high.
Corvus Enca is a chaotic neutral, female half-orc ranger. She seeks acceptance most passionately and once gained, will demand respect and even fear. Like so many that have been bullied, Corvus relishes the opportunity to inflict pain on others and will persecute any that show weakness.
EDIT - You can substitute sword for bow and fighter for ranger if it helps the group dynamic.
