Personal history

Being born from a Drow and a Orc, Zora has always felt displaced. Raised in Asarius, Zora learned to be aggressive as she explored and interacted with the common people of the 'City of Beasts'. Along with being told of the supposed “curse of ruin” due to her orc heritage. Though not fully buying into the idea of the curse, Zora did have her doubts. Zora's aggressiveness and being around more lower crowds put a bit of a strain between Zora and her mother, Zareen. Her Orc side of the family trained her to fight better and letting her more aggressive side out to indulged in the “curse”.
During a high event in Asarius that Zora and her mother were at as the entertainment, a very persistent noble Drow tried to make moves on Zareen. Zora got into a altercation with the noble and his guards. Later on he has summoned Zareen alone with the promise of an opportunity to leave Asarius and go to the capital. Zora listened into the noble try to force himself on Zareen. Zora had beaten and bloodied the noble, escorting her mother out of the event and back home.
The morning after the event the Aurora Watch came to Zora's home and notifying her and her mother about that the noble was killed and arrested Zora for murder, sentenced to 10 years in prison. During Zora's time in prison she had made one key ally, a half elf woman from the Menagerie Coast by the name of Aeris. Aeris took Zora under her wing seeing her potential and the fire within her, teaching her to harness and control her anger. But before Aeris could go further with Zora's training she was apart of a prisoner exchange between the Empire and the Dynasty.
Now after serving her time in prison, Zora now in a self imposed exile from Xhorhas is out to find her master and to improve herself.
