Background: Aurora grew up in the city of Baldurs Gate. Her parents, upon discerning her red eyes marked her a tiefling, abandoned her to be raised by her grandfather. Her grandfather was a tiefling himself and a renown hedgewizard of sorts. His name was Arthur Aquilla Arius III and he taught her everything he knew of the art. Her true name would thus be Aurora Aquilla Arius or simply Aurora Arius however she chose to take on the psuedonym Silverstaff after her grandfathers death.

Growing up in the city and being a tiefling meant she was often chastised for both minor and merely perceived offenses. She would be beaten up often by other children who believed she did not belong. This lead to her staying inside as often as she was allowed. Her skin grew pale and she spent more time studying then was normal.

When she was sixteen she was drafted into the militia to defend the city against the undead siege. Handed a stick, no armor, and sent into combat with no training taught her that those in power really don't care. She survived by avoiding the suicidal melee and throwing cantrips about (as useless as they were). After the siege she watched as the nobles and temples rebuilt even more grandiose then ever and she continued to suffer in relative poverty.

Her grandfather passed away shortly after the siege. With his death she felt obligated to make something of her life. She sold off what trinkets she could and began a life of adventure.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Aurora is murophobic and automatically fails fear saving throws against rats and mice unless she is warded against fear.

Aurora cannot smell brimstone. To her it smells like regular air. This is from her tiefling heritage and she is not yet aware of this trait.

Aurora often is warded with a non-detection spell, Disguise self spell, and Waterbreathing spell. Please take this into consideration regardless if it harms or benefits her.
