Talisa Shade
Artificer of Team Gambit
Backstory
Talisa, also known as Tali, a tiefling from the Hadrian Empire. Originally born in Esmir but her mother fled from Tali’s noble father who was ashamed that Tali was born a tiefling. After fleeing Tali’s mother found a home with Akil Shade the local galgor blacksmith. Unfortunately Tali’s mother did not have the constitution for their new home and passed away before Tali turned 5 years old.
Akil takes in Tali after her mothers passing and raises her alongside his biological daughter Sofia and mother in law Fia. Tali slowly opens up to them and takes an interest in alchemy and tinkering, largely self taught using what few reference books her father could borrow from the provisional capital library. Included in these were also tales of heroism from both these books and stories her father would tell her and her sister from galgor culture.
Despite her loving family, Tali was never going to be fully welcome in Hadria, and after gaining a passing familiarity of arcane magic through artificing decided to pursue her dreams of becoming an adventurer after receiving a letter from the newly formed Morrorend guild.
