Aedraides

She was born with it (maybe it's maybelline)
The harrowing screams of a dying woman, giving life as her own slips away. No one can hear but the dead, it's cold and snowing. Blood trickles down the snow as the woman's birth canal is marred by the transformation taking place within.

The pulsating energy of an ancient demonic font violates her womb, and contorts the fresh bones of her unborn offspring into an abomination. Unable to hold her newborn, her life is sapped by the font, and a new life begins. The screaming of an infant is all that can be heard, and soon the ghastly buzzards and ravens begin their dark descent from the skies.

Backstory
During her birth, which mysteriously took place somewhere hidden in the Hills of Remembrance, her mother (who was an unknown cultist) was exposed to the sinister power of a demonic font. Tainted by demonic energy, Aedraides’ appearance changed as she was expelled from her mother’s womb. Her dark brown skin turned purple and small pointed horns soon protruded from her forehead. A fur ended tail sprouted from the base of her back, and markings unlike anything ever seen before began to spread to various parts of her body. As it was, her infantile cries and the stench of her mother who did not survive the birthing attracted carrion birds, and soon people. Raised by various families of the villages in The Matchsticks, she grew up learning the values and morals of the common folk.

Aedraides didn't always known kindness through people mostly because of her appearance. Due to this, she is reserved in demeanor and somewhat skittish in the presence of human people, but is constantly seeking knowledge. Her curiosity lead to her first sighting of earth magic; since then she's devoted that curiosity to studying Earthen magic, and perfecting her own skill in that practice.

Although her upbringing was mostly riddled with hardship in the squalor of the grimmest slums, overcrowded with the impoverished, a miring cesspool of filth and ash; she one day aspires to be a well respected and highly skilled magic user.
