Personal history
-I lived a fairly peaceful life with my parents
-I saved a dying tabaxi named quiet who was part of a criminal organization that my father (human) had been a part of
-because of the new interaction with the organization, called the Thorncrawlers, my father rejoined them in order to prevent too much harm from coming to our area
-My mother (drow, Wild Mother nature cleric) and I made medicines and treated injured members of the organization to assist Dad
-The situation between various criminal organizations became hostile, so my parents sent me to a cabin in the woods at 15 to protect me.
-The cabin became a safe house for the Thorncrawlers that I managed, where I met a scraggly, middle-aged kobold named Sniv, who taught me how to rogue and gave me dope tattoos Sniv was unfortunately arrested and I never saw him again
-The situation became an underground war, so my dad came to pick me up to bring us so a different country
-We were pursued while we were running, and a dwarf with glowing green eyes stabbed me with a weird cursed knife
-I realized that despite the fact that my heart stopped, I could still see and hear, but couldn't move
-flash forward a psychologically obliterating amount of time, a group of adventurers including a necromancer tried to raise my body, but instead of making a bone soldier I kept my mind and gained mobility.
-while wandering the feywild, I gained my clothes, mask, and supplies, and also met a kind "fey" (maybe lying about their race) named Nyx Tevra who continued my education of herbs, plants, fungi, potions, etc.
-While chillin' with Nyx, I started praying to the Raven Queen and the Wild Mother
-Both Nyx and the Wild Mother helped me contact my Mom, who informed me about the state of things after I disappeared
-After that, I wandered the feywild and other fairly safeish planes (earth elemental plane, beastlands).
-Whenever I write a letter to Mom, either Nyx or the Wild Mother (i assume) takes it and replaces it with leaves &/or moss, shortly after which I will receive a sending message from Mom
-One day, Nyx vanished and I stared my general wandering.
-I am using this second chance to help others and try to regain my body so that I can meet back up with Mom comfortably.
-Nyx and I are friends/teacher and student, but as a "fey", they might call me in to repay all that they've done for me, but I owe them my "life" because they taught me how to feel emotions after wandering aimlessly for what may or may not have been decades (time in the feywild is hard)

Contacts & Relations
Mininil Zauber-Myervs: My mother. She’s a drow nature cleric of the Wild Mother. She’s a couple of inches shorter than me, with cobalt skin, ruby eyes, and platinum hair. I write her letters and she magically tells me when she receives them. She is the one who started my education and fascination with plants, herbs, fungi, and medicines.
Zac Myervys: My father. He was a human man with dark skin, amber eyes, and black hair. He was covered in intricate tattoos and had a dry sense of humor. He, along with Sniv, gave me my tattoos. He died about 20 years after me.
Nyx Tevra: A kind “fey” who gave me an extensive education on plants, fungi, herbs, salves, medicines, and potions. They helped me come to terms with my predicament, and taught me a bit about how to heal myself if I got injured. They have ebony hair, pale green skin, and aquamarine eyes.
Sniv: A kobold ranger/rogue who taught me how to handle myself, among other things. He had burnt orange skin, rusty, brown eyes, and many tattoos. He, along with my father, gave me my various tattoos. He was executed a few years before me.
Quiet: A tabaxi who made my family involved in the Thorncrawlers. She was headstrong and prideful but also incredibly apologetic and felt genuinely guilty about how she got the people who saved her involved with a bunch of criminals. She was fairly nice when I spoke with her. She had ahsy grey fur, topaz eyes, and a small stature. She died shortly before I did.
