## Biography

### Early life

Ferro grew up in the elemental plane of air. However, people got too close for comfort. Explorers with revolutionary technology were turned into trophy hunters by the wonders of the elemental plane of air and the blood of her parents. With nothing but rage to swallow her body, She pursued these killers but after a while of no leads and hostile relationships with civilians that were confused by aarakocra attitudes to possession (they don't believe in personal possessions and their sharing is often perceived as theft), she turned to crime under the OnyxTear organisation for sustenance and funding for vengeance as well as information about the killer's whereabouts being promised by Alyosha. Then one day, it went pear-shaped. A fairly standard assignment was sabotaged by Vincent who felt aggrieved over not being paid enough. He failed to notify the team, including a fixated Ferro who believed she might be looking at documents related to her parent's deaths, that they were in danger. Two of the team died and Ferro had to flee, running away from her employers and losing her reliable reputation. Since then, employment has been scarce and Ferro's trust totally absent so desperation led Ferro to the occupation of adventuring despite her lack of experience and friends, causing some troublesome gelling with the new group. Later, Ferro reunited with her previous employer but a mission that quickly went south led her to cement her future in adventuring and with parents being long lost, Ferro decided she would have to find a family here.

### Discovering Wave Echo Cave

In 3256, Ferro was hired by Gundren Rockseeker in Neverwinter to be part of a group of adventurers to help rediscover the long lost Wave Echo Cave. On their way to Phandalin, they found Gundren's cart after it was ambushed by goblins of the Cragmaw Tribe. They managed to rescue both Gundren and his companion, Sildar Hallwinter, bringing them both back to Phandalin. While in Phandalin, they defeated the Redbrands who had been terrorising the town and recaptured and subsequently bought the ruined Tresendar Manor. The group along with Gundren found the entrance to the mines, and explored it, killing the monsters that infested the caves and finding the legendary Forge of Spells. They eventually found Nezznar and his gang, who they promptly fought and killed.

### Studying in Waterdeep

After completing the Wave Echo Cave adventures, Ferro travelled to Waterdeep to study spell scrolls in the great library.
