Irissa was born half elf, her father was ‘supposedly’ a wizard from what many people claimed and her mother was an elf. Because of the false accusations the villagers made on Irissa’s father right before she was born, the elven community did not accept her and forced her mother to abandon her. After being abandoned by her mother, her father then took it upon himself to raise her and decided that a fresh new start would be best. They moved to a different village that was extremely far away where no one would know the two, luckily, Irissa grew to be more like her father- Appearance wise. She was the normal height of an average human but had the ears that reassembled of an elf and what shocked almost everyone was her pure white locks of hair. At the age of 13, Irissa and her father went out to practice archery one day in the local forest when an old traveller came by and noticed who her father was. It was only then when they realised that the traveller had snitched to the village about them. Villagers chased them out of the area with pitchforks and swords etc. Irissa’s father could not catch up as he wasn’t as young as her, he tripped on a tree branch and struggle to get up as her had injured his ankle. He told her to keep running as if she would’ve stayed with him, Irissa would have been possibly killed, so she kept running and running until she came to the edge of a cliff. She heard the her father scream from a far and take his last breath before dying, she knew she could not stay there anymore so she jumped, and landed into the local river. Luckily the bushes sort of cushioned her fall as the cliff wasn’t a big drop. From that point forward, Irissa just kept swimming and swimming until she found land that she could drag herself onto.
For many more years, Irissa has been travelling everywhere trying to find a place to call home, she doesn’t let anyone in and neither does she tell anyone who she is for that exact reason her father died. At 18 she grew tired of running constantly because of the way she was born and wanted to find somewhere for good, she wondered and wondered and wondered for months on end until the night of her 19th birthday. Sat by a camp fire in a small camp she had set up, she had swiped a tiny little muffin from the previous town just to keep her going, Irissa never usually stole but she thought one time couldn’t hurt. She stared at the small muffin and made a wish, shortly after that she heard a bunch of horses trotting to somewhere so she followed them. Finally after stumbling through the woods she came across a great big city like place. It was the city of Curon, Irissa had never come across a place like this but surely she could finally be accepted and not feared for.
