Character Background:
Malice was born as Siobhan Illbrek, in the hamlet of Aeron, on the outskirts of Elsircross beside the Elsir River. Her father, Ruadhan Illbrek, was a nomadic Tiefling, who settled down in Aeron after falling in love with a local girl named Avaline. Ruadhan humbly worked at her aging father's mill, until he was able to win her hand and affections. Avaline had many suitors, but none were as gentle or kind as the Teifling. The mayor's eldest son Cadeyrn was bitter when the two married the following spring. He swore that a demon had wrested his fair love from him and he would have Avaline as his, no matter what.
Siobhan was born the following winter. Three summers later her grandfather passed into the next life. Ruadhan and Avaline inherited the mill, and it flourished under their hard work. Cadeyrn continued to spread rumors to anyone who would lend an ear. There were many in the small hamlet that despised the "demon" in their midst, even to the point of traveling to Elsircross to grind their grain.
When Siobhan grew old enough to go to school, she was mercilessly teased and tormented for her Tiefling heritage. Her mother tutored her at home to keep her safe. Resentment and hatred
towards the humans in the hamlet began to grow in the little Tiefling's heart. Siobhan had many a stone or rotten cabbage thrown at her. As she grew older, she found herself in many a fight.
In her tenth summer a wasting sickness plagued Aeron and the larger towns of Brindol, Elsircross, and Witchcross. The humble hamlet suffered greatly and the wasting sickness was blamed on the "demon spawned" miller and his daughter. Cadeyrn had become the mayor of Aeron, and married into a wealthy family from Elsircross; he saw the turmoil as an opportunity to have Avaline as his own. When the blacksmith's daughter died from the wasting illness, moral panic spread throughout the hamlet of Aeron. Cadeyrn seized the opportunity and formed a group of vigilantes. They dragged the Illbrek family from their home. With Aeron thirsty for their blood, Cadeyrn forced Ruadhan to falsely confess that he was the cause of the wasting sickness. Cadeyrn sought to kill Siobhan as well, but when Ruadhan testified before Elsircross's magistrates, he claimed that his daughter and wife were innocent and was hanged the following sunrise.
Avaline and Siobhan returned to the mill, as outsiders. Avaline, bitter from her husband's murder, desperately tried to provide for her daughter. The local people shunned her and refused to buy or sell anything from her. Months passed and the village recovered from the wasting sickness. As the hamlet returned to normal, people still carried a hatred and fear of "the demon's daughter." They fearfully suspected that she would bring about another illness.
As the winter approached, Cadeyrn made his move, knowing that Avaline was destitute. He offered to buy the mill from her and employ her to run the mill for him. She refused his offer, accusing him of her husband's death. The winter that came was harsh, leaving the land barren and cold. Avaline was sure that they could manage until spring, until Siobhan unexpectantly fell ill. Avaline watched as her daughter grew gravely ill, and knew she had no other choice but to beg Cadeyrn to buy the mill.
When Avaline offered the mayor her mill and employment, he refused; claiming that she had offended him greatly at their last meeting. Avaline begged him to save her daughter and Cadeyrn agreed on the condition that she would belong to him to use as he saw fit. That night he took her as his mistress. To Cadeyrn's displeasure, Siobhan recovered from her fever.
In the years that followed, Siobhan was picked on and abused by Cadeyrn's wife and children. Every misfortune in the hamlet, was blamed on the young Tiefling. In Siobhan's thirteenth summer, Avaline tried to runaway with her. She was quickly caught and publicly beaten for stealing money and a horse from Cadeyrn. She received worse when she returned to the manor. Cadeyrn constantly reminded her that she should be grateful to him for taking in a "whore and her demon daughter."
In Siobhan's sixteenth summer, Avaline bribed a passing gypsy caravan to take her daughter with them. A few days later, the caravan left Aeron, headed to Elsircross, with Siobhan hidden in one of the wagons. That night, Avaline attempted to kill her husband's murderer when he came to her chamber. Cadeyrn was not mortally wounded and beat Avaline for her attempt. When he left to fetch Siobhan, to beat her for her mother's trespasses, Avaline hung herself from her bedchamber window.
The gypsy caravan did not travel with Siobhan long. A wheel on one of the wagons broke near the southern outskirts of Elsircross. They left the Tiefling on the road, with some bread and water, telling her to bring bad luck to someone else. Siobhan headed for Elsircross, remembering her mother's parting words. Avaline told her to seek out her second cousin in the city of Bristol. She vaguely remembered the Tiefling boy. All she has was his name and a letter to from her mother.
Misfortune found Siobhan in Elsircross. Accused of stealing, Siobhan was chased into the village square, where the locals stood with stones and weapons in hand. Before the young Tiefling could christen her newly purchased great axe, a young man darted out of the crowd. He pretended to know her, calmly settling the crowd. His name was Cerith, a young shifter from the Forest Monastery. Wary of him, Siobhan told him her name was Malice and that she didn't owe him anything for saving her. He seemed honestly baffled with the thought of her owing him anything, as he saw helping her as the right thing to do. She told him she needed to travel to Bristol and find her distant cousin. He offered to travel with her, as he was on a personal quest to discover the unknown world. When daybreak broke, they set out for the capital of Elsir Vale.
