Lilithia Cryso

A rough back story, rewritten from the old one more to my liking.

Name: Lilithia Cryso (Do'Urden)
Age: (Drow years) - 63

Race: Drow
Alignment: Chaotic Good (Refer to THIS for more information on alignments.)
Eyes/Hair: Purple w/ gold silver highlights, snowy white/lavender hair.
Weapon (s) of choice: Scimitars, bow, spells.

Backstory:
Her mother had been posing on the surface as a high priestess of Mieliki until she could get Drizzt to sire the girl. She held most moral aspects of the drow until she ran away, just after she had murdered her mother. Lilithia was born in Menzoberranzan to an ex- high priestess of Mielikki and raised to be a skilled fighter to replace her second sister as weapons master after her mother killed her sister for going against Lolth. The emotional scarring drove her out into the Underdark, until she ran into Drizzt as he was returning to see what had become of his daughter. After a heated battle, he learned that she was the girl he searched for and took her back with him to the surface, in the hopes he could save his
daughter.

As she discovered kind of 'filth' she was, she thought about returning to Menzoberranzan where she 'belonged', because of her evil past. Eventually Drizzt broke through to her and taught her properly, turning her cold outer shell away and polishing her into a fine fighter, and a beautiful young woman. He taught her about the gods after he learned that, like his father, she had never particularly favored Lolth, but had hidden her 'wild side' to keep out of harm's way. When Lilithia told her father she wished to leave, he obtained a set of scimitars for her as a parting gift. (Poison and Paradise.) When asked why she kept her mother's name, she told him she didn't want to 'tarnish his good name with her own wrong-doings.'

Drizzt was praised by Lady Alustriel when he returned Lilithia to the surf
ace, and as a gift, she enchanted Poison and Paradise to return at Lilithia's call, whenever they are removed or knocked from her range of reach. Lilithia obtained the powers of Lolth by capturing them in a charm she wear on her neck, along with the unicorn head charm that was a gift from Drizzt also. (Drizzt encouraged, in a joking manner, that Lilithia should turn Lolth's own powers against her.) Lilithia has dreams of becoming a ranger, but has vowed first to right the wrong her mother left on the surface.
