Kaylessa was born into a High Elf family living in Taliyna'maehr in Axios in 1610. She had a happy childhood and grew up as the pride and joy of her mother and father, whom were so grateful to have overcome the curse of infertility. However, as Kaylessa grew, she began to notice and realize the many faults within her "perfect" community. Above all else, they valued purity. It was an obsession Kaylessa could never understand. As a pure-blooded High Elf herself, she was expected to live her life in a certain way and preserve the ancient ways of her people. While Kaylessa respected her ancestors, she felt that the crazed race for purity was absurd. She noticed how her father's high rank and full-bloodedness affected how people treated her, and it left her unsettled. 

By 1641, Kaylessa was a fully developed 31 year old Elf, though many of her elders still viewed her as a child. Axios had become almost entirely uninhabitable by that time, and Kaylessa and her family migrated to Atlas. Upon arrival in Atlas, years of discontent with the proceedings of the High Elves led Kaylessa to make a shocking decision. She decided to part with her kin, much to her parent's despair. Instead of moving in to Okarn-thilln with her family, she left her whole world behind, still almost a child, to see the world.

Kaylessa immediately found out that the real world was much harsher and unforgiving than life within the sheltered arms of her parents. It was only a matter of weeks before she encountered a group of orcs. With the exception of limited training as a child, Kaylessa had never formally been taught how to defend herself, and she found her self dangling, quite literally, inches away from death. Luckily she was saved by a fellow Elf, or rather, a Snow Elf. This Elf, by the name of Folre, brought her into the community of the Snow Elves. They took her in without any hesitation, and Kaylessa was fascinated to learn about the elusive world of the Snow Elves. In addition to become integrated in a new community, Kaylessa found herself falling head-over-heels for Folre, her original savior. The Elf led her to believe that she had a chance, then abruptly broke her heart and told her he wasn't interested. Kaylessa was heartbroken, and after spending twelve years among the Snow Elves, she decided to move on. Her ambitions were bigger than the small world of the Snow Elves, and she wished to see the rest of Axios. She headed out into the world, not entirely knowing what would come next, but ready for whatever challenges the world would throw at her.
