            Adrie was born in one of the many elven communities in the forests of the Elven Wildlands, by the name of Celesthem. Her mother died in childbirth and her father died from grief not soon after - because of this, she was raised by the people of Celesthem. They trained her as a warpriest. Her older brother Elmorn and younger sister Aludiana were raised in a similar fashion.

            Adrie's life was happy and simple until one day she and the other elves were out hunting some sort of monster in the forest. This monster turned out to be a deadly ghost, and it possessed Adrie. Under this possession, she killed almost all the rest of her hunting party - including her beloved, Rolen. The party's leader, an experienced warpriest named Heian, managed to subdue Adrie and exorcise the ghost - but the damage had already been done.

            When they returned and the people of Celesthem found out what happened, they were horrified and demanded that their leaders exile Adrie. Despite Heian's protests and attempts to explain that the slaughter of the party had not been Adrie's fault, the leaders were forced to exile Adrie. She accepted this fate, and left the village in peace, albeit with sadness in her heart. Now she travels, serving the people of Titania and trying to atone for the (accidental) murder of her friends. Her tattoos signify her status as an exile (the tattoo around her eye) and the people who helped raise and train her (the tattoo on her arm). She also carries a letter written to her by Rolen, and a wooden doll made by Elmorn.
