Background: Her father was a merchant following Vhaerun in secret that took an eilistraeen as a mistress during one of the few raids he did on eilistraeen encampement. Her beauty was so stunning he couldn't resist her and saved her from death, keeping her as barely better then a slave and when he found out she was pregnant, he made sure she couldn't escape him. She gave birth to twins and named the children, born with hair like golden silk, Ssinjin and Slyan. After the birth, he made sure she was maleable with potions and for a time, it worked as he wanted, his mistress was docile. When the twin didn't need her mother's milk anymore, her father disposed of the useless female and raised the child as his personal slave. Ssinjin grew up copying the female that traveled with the caravan of her father, though her father kept her very shy and under his grasp. Slyan, he kept with him. He needed a thief, and since her sister seemed to like and take the role of the attraction, he would made of the secound twin the one who would lighten other's purse as Ssinjin would attract their attention. Since they were a daughter, he didn't cared for them exept when he needed them and to keep them from attracting unwanted attention. So they grew up forging themselves most of the time, their heart remaining somewhat pure, at least at the core.
When they was old enough, they were forced to work for their father, peaking in the belongings of the travelers so that her father knew their secrets. They hated doing it, loathed it even. In order for them to be able to give it to him, he thought them to read. Until her found a music book and tried to song in it, they didn't knew music, but Slyan liked the way Ssinjin could make her voice sound, how she could play with the words and her voice as magic.
For a long time, thought, Slyan had found her own inner magic. It had nothing to do with music, even if she could sign a little to accompany her sister. No, her magic was something more savage, more profound also then music. She still doesn't grasp it all thought, but she knows that somewhere in her mind and blood lies the key for herself to finaly be complete. Unlike her sister, she doesn't hate being stealthy, or her talent for the thievery. She hate the reason her father made them learn. But she understand that as any usefull tools, it's good or evil only depends on the reason and the person using it.
Time passed by, some kind of routine installed itself amond the "family". Ssinjin would distract the travellers, and Slyan would steal from them. But their true life was after, when their father was not checking on them. Whenever she could, Slyan was forgetting herself into her own heart and reasearch, listening to her sister's music also.
One of the discrete drowess traveling with them disapeared, in secret, every night. So the second night, the twins followed her. They heard her sing, and her song, for the first time in her life, gave them hope, showed them there was something else then that slave's life. During all the travel, they followed the jalil to hear her songs. Of course, the said Jalil knew she was followed and one day, the sixth after the first night the young followed her, she confronted the girls. They had no were to flee and didn't truly wanted to, so they talked and Ssinjin and the lady sang and the three danced all night. For the rest of the trip, they were friends in secret and both twins learned of Eilistraee every time they could sneak off without anyone noticing. When the trip was over, the Eilistraeen priestess gave a meeting point to the twins, to get away from her father, she said she needed to contact her friends so they could take care of the new faithfulls. It was just next to Sshamath, but Slyan never made it. When they fled their father, Ssinjin could get away, but Slyan got seperated from her twin. Their father almost got them, and to permit her sister to flee and be freed, she allowed herself to get caught.
She was punisehd harshly, almost beaten to death. But she survived. He didn't wanted his slave to be dead. When she recovered enough, a bit more then a week later, she used the little their father thought her and broke free, this time with success.
She's looking for her sister and the priestess ever since.
Goals: To find her purpose in life, to use her skills and inner powers for Eilistree's cause and people. And to free herself and all the drow she can from Tyrany.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Eilistraee, Harpers, faith of Lloth, Bae'queshel...
