Trilali grew up in an impoverished family and had little experience of
the luxuries of life. One day, she found a handy-sized straw doll, in the
woods near her home on the mountains and, finding the rhyme with her name
rather excellent, decided to name her Lilale. It was a mysterious doll - It
seemed to cast a shadow, darkening the day when the sun was up, and to
shimmer with light when the darkness ruled the night. To her dismay, her
parents were less than approving of her new friend Lilale and buried it at
the foot of the mountain where they lived. She resolved to retrieve Lilale
in the cover of night, and after doing so, started to weep for the sorry
state she found it in. In a fit of anger, she cursed her family for their
lack of justice and fairness as she washed Lilale in a nearby pool before
making her way back. Reaching home, she found her home pillaged by a band
of marauding bandits, the disemboweled remains of her family strewn about
their nest. Believing herself to be the cause of their demise, Trilali
called down plagues upon herself and entered a state of psychological shock,
forever locking the memory of her past in her subconscious mind.
Description:
A languid avian covered in patches of scarred tissue falters before you. Her face is half covered with flaky skin and the rest with minute scales that shimmers with a faint glint. Her lips are badly cracked and chapped, moistened by the cold blood that flows within her. Pointed ears and a sharpened nose give her a distinct feminine appearance. Her lackluster hair, thin and coarse, falls in a haphazard manner and reaches to her waist. Bloodshot eyes with onyx-like pupils pierce through the veil of her unkempt hair. Charcoal feathers cover her apparently deformed wings that bulge out from her lithe form. Portions of pale, naked skin dot and stretch across her wings, as they do on the uncovered parts of her body - results from the many years spent in plague and disease. Tiny, uneven barbs jut out from the ends of her wings, resembling shards of glass rather than the talons of raptors.
