Serafina Aveline was born into a respected elvish family - not nobility, but well-regarded enough that their name carried weight in the community. She was expected to uphold that. She didn't. A series of poor decisions from exploring too far to questioning customs culminating in one she refuses to speak about in detail led to her being formally cast out, her family making it quietly clear she was no longer their problem.
The disgrace stung more than she admits. She drifted for years after, picking up skills wherever she could. She's built herself into someone capable and self-sufficient, though there's a guardedness to her that never quite goes away.
Cares strongly for others. Works on rebuilding her reputation now, with a distaste for anyone who mentions her past.
