Personal history
Vil grew up in a relatively poor family. Her younger sister, Vola, was a very sickly child and they were rarely able to afford any medical treatment or medicine for her. Frustrated by this Vil decided at a relatively young age that she was going to become a doctor and heal her sister. As she grew up and her sister overcame her sickness Vil's motivations shifted slightly. When she was 15 Vil's town was attacked by bandits and she got a first hand view of the kinds of injuries sustained in battle. After seeing that and dealing with the aftermath Vil decided to instead become a battle medic and reduce the injuries and casualties of battle.
Vil's family saved every copper they could and Vil took every odd job she could find in order to fund her medical education. Upon receiving her certification Vil signed up to serve the Aurora Watch as a battle medic. She worked here for several years until tragedy struck. Vil was assigned as the medic to a battalion of soldiers going on an otherwise fairly routine patrol. They were passing under a steep cliff when a landslide struck. Vil was caught in it and she was burried and her right arm crushed under a heavy bolder. By the time she was dugout by a rescue team it was too late to save her arm and it had to be amputated.
The Aurora Watch provided her with a prosthetic arm in the hope she would be able to continue her work after recovering. Unfortunately the magic crystal used to create the prosthetic was not checked thoroughly in their rush to it completed for Vil. There was a small, but significant flaw in the crystal and when the prosthetic was created and attached a permanent malfunction occurred. Vil's prosthetic arm causes great harm to anyone she touched with it. To make matters worse the prosthetic cannot be removed with greatly harming Vil and potentially endangering her life and so she is stuck with it.
The Aurora Watch felt they could no longer employ a medic whose very touch caused harm to her patients and so they provided Vil with a severance package before gently but firmly kicking her out. Depsite the devastation of losing both her arm and dream job in quick succession Vil was determined to keep working as a medic. She has managed to find such employment by hiring her services out to adventuring groups, who are both less strict in who they hire and could always use a little extra damage on their side.

Morality & Philosophy
When she became a medic Vil took the Hippocratic oath and she is determined to stick to it as best she can, even in the dangerous and morally grey world of adventuring.
Hippocratic Oath:
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
