Personal history

Faisk grew up in a small town rather out of the way in the Khestris Empire with their mother, Nik, and older sibling, Mai. Nik told stories throughout Faisk's childhood of their father, an earth genasi who disappeared shortly after Faisk was born which created a persistent curiosity just to figure out what had happened to him. Overall the family didn't really bother anyone, Nik being a tailor in town but that was the extent of it seeing as they lived on the outskirts. It wasn't a complete secret that the family were all changelings but no one really had any reason to go after them until years later, when Faisk was 10.
A group of cultists had been traveling through their hometown preaching against magic and blaming the world's problems on magic users. Faisk's family was packing to leave town when the cult, having done some digging, came after them to "get rid of the evil" and the group had to make a run for it. Faisk didn't exactly understand why they had to run and being the stubborn child that they were, slowed the group down causing them to be caught shortly after they had headed into the woods.
The cult surrounded them drawing swords and Nik sprung into action to defend her children, mist walking in and out of the ranks of the cult but it was only prolonging the situation. Luckily for the family, Zefra and Quinn had been in the area and heard this ruckus before heading to investigate and helping Nik get rid of what was left standing of the cult as Faisk clung to their sibling and looked on in awe.
Faisk decided right then and there they wanted to be like Zefra when they grew up and possibly find out what happened to their father in the process so after moving to another town, Faisk persuaded their mother to let them use one of Cobble's old bows he'd left behind and slowly started learning to shoot, going out at all times of the day as they got older and could take care of themselves.
Faisk eventually left their mother and sibling back home after they turned 18 with an elven mask in mind and armed with their father's bow, determined to find the Adventurer's Guild. What they didn't realize at the time due to them living so out of the way was that the Khestris Empire as a whole likes elves even less than changelings.
Taking on a job once there, Faisk awkwardly approached two adventurers who'd been getting yelled at by what they could assume was their boss and offered for the two to come along. The half elf and dwarf immediately knew she was still practically a child and practically adopted her, tagging along and the three completing the job almost with ease. They continued this way for a year or so before Faisk met the party and decided to travel with them for a while, promising to check in with their adoptive family every now and then.

Intellectual Characteristics

Faisk is extremely capable when it comes to languages and translating but it doesn't always come across well as they forget words in Common and lapse into a different language to explain occasionally.
