Background:
Born to a lowly ship merchant, Jade has spent almost her entire life aboard one vessel or another. Her mother having died in childbirth, she never strayed far from her father's side.
By the time she was ten years old, her father had procured a half dozen ships and created his own trading company: White Griffon Trading (named after their house sigil). Based out of Athkatla, her father's business grew steadily year by year. Before the age of 14, she spent the majority of her time in the larger vessels that were rarely waylaid. However, upon turning 15, her father granted his permission allowing her to travel on more dangerous trading routes. Although initially hesitant, it did not take long before the the ship's crew came to appreciate her variety of talents.
For the next two years she traveled up and down the west coast of Faerun, acting as a medic during skirmishes and nursing the wounded after. This was all to change when the ship stopped to resupply in Calimport. While on shore, Jade passed by the House of the Healing Hand and saw the devout of Illmater tending to the downtrodden and diseased patients. Inspired, Jade spent the next two days at the hospital assisting where she could and delaying the departure of her fathers ship. In the end, no one could possibly persuade Jade to leave.
Over the next sixteen months, Jade worked tirelessly and selflessly to help the patients at the hospital, all in the name of the Broken God. When not tending to the sick, she could be found singing, telling tales, and even the rare magic show. Believing she had found her life's calling, Jade was satisfied with her life in Calimport. However, she was forced to leave her work at the hospital upon hearing that her father was deathly ill at his home in Athkatla.
Jade was able to spend a few days with her father before he passed. Her father left everything he owned to his only daughter. Unaccustomed to such wealth, Jade steadily began giving away portions of her inheritance to various charitable causes and organizations. She kept only her father's sword and enough gold to purchase passage to another city along the Coast.
As she arrived at the docks, she had no plans to venture to any specific destination. Ship after ship she was denied passage, but she was determined to leave that same evening. Luckily for her, the last ship she visited accepted her aboard their vessel, having known her father. When she asked where they were bound the captain replied, "Baldur's Gate."
Goals: Help the weak and downtrodden
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
-Would enjoy sailing again.
-Her father probably created some enemies (and friends) in Amn from his business.
-Often is too trusting of people she meets (especially people she believes need her help)
