Drisimi was born in the noble House of Akagawa in the Underdark, in the drow city of Menzoberranzan. Despite the fact that she had 2 older brothers, she was the first-born daughter and therefore in drow society she was seen as the first child of the noble Akagawa family.

In the first 10 years of her life she was just like any other drow child she saw her self superior to males she lived with, she showed cruelty towards others her age and if they had something she wanted she took it. And like all other drow looked up to the spider Goddess Lolth and hated surfaces elves.

But as she got older Drisimi has a desire for companionship with other drow this was predominantly towards the male members of her family since she could demand their attention easily. Her Mother soon noticed her inclinations and viewed it as weak.

Drow society is one built upon fear and ambition, where strength, cunning, and violence are rewarded, and where weakness, compassion, and mercy are removed anywhere they are found. Additionally status in society is everything to a dark elf, and being of a noble family Drisimi’s mother was expected to execute the expectations of the society.

Her Daughter’s weakness was to be stamped out now so she could grow to be a strong Lolth priestess to make her family proud and to keep the house in favour of the spider queen Lolth. So Drisimi’s mother decided to start starving her of food. This just made Drisimi stubborn and she started to question her mother and later Lolth. Which often lead to brutal beatings.

This is when she started to hear whispers about her oldest bother Sethran and how they can see the same thing in her. Furthermore how his betrayal of the family almost lost the house Lolth’s favour. Which in drow society would mean the add on the house and the death of all it’s members. And her mother was advised on that they should be tougher on Drisimi to make sure she did not end up following in her bother’s footsteps.  

Any failure to do so would result her elders would question her strength as a Matron mother. And if these rumors spread to the lower houses it would spark their desires of advancement to her place as a noble house. Drow society has developed a philosophy based upon violence, murder, cunning that only the strong survive though in Drow tongue it’s along the lines of  “those who survive are strong”.

At this point life got quite hard for Drisimi because it was viewed as if she survived, She’ll be stronger for it. When he mother thought she could not survive any longer without food she was beaten and tormented to try and discourages any inclinations of “weakness”. Luckily for Drisimi her mother did not want to kill her being the only daughter her mother desperately wanted her to be like any other drow and craved the favour of Lolth and frantically wanted Drisimi be a cleric of Lolth, so wanted her alive.

But in her own twisted way saw the punishments as life lessons for Drisimi. To the degree that she only ever scared Drisimi’s back, knowing that Drisimi was a little vain and told her that it was her vanity spared her the scaring else where. Drisimi’s mother was somewhat vocal in expressing her views on Drisimi’s vanity being greatest quality; and that the scars on her back would not matter as much because she should never show her back to another drow. Therefore no one should ever see her scars.  

To save of beatings Drisimi often spent hours in her room with her hair and make up because she knew her vanity pleased her mother, and the longer she spend the less time it was that her mother would beat her. Especially when Drisimi knew she was getting very thin, because it was at this point that the starving switched to beating. Due to considerable abuse at the hands of her mother in the first sixteen years of her life. Developed insecurities regarding her body developed since she noticed she wasn’t developing as much as her piers; as well as being far shorter and blamed this on the lack of food and her mother.

Drisimi got to the point were she felt like she could not go on living any more. She felt like she had nothing to love for, her life was miserable and she felt she had nothing to look forwards to. In a world where there was no love, no friendship, a world where every cup was laced with poison and you could never know whom to trust. A world where she could either die or grow to become something she hated and follow a Goddess that she felt was everything wrong with drow society. So she tried to end her own life.

Her father found her unconscious and bleeding on the floor and magically healed her. He was very found of her and he had never felt that way before about another drow so decided to help her further. Drisimi’s father gave her some gifts, one of these were books about the “Legend of Drizzt” which were tails about the most famous drow to reject drow society and Lolth and survive. Her father also gifted her with her sword “Twinkle” in honour of the rebel drow. Although was told never to speak of the swords name or the books or her attempt on her own life.  

The books reached inside Drisimi pretty deep, she could relate to the books and wanted to reject Lolth and everything she stands for. They gave her hope, an insight to a world that was much better then this, a better life. The idea of following Drizzt and her brother to the surface became ever more appealing. But first she knew she had to learn how to fight and to gain the strength she would need to survive the horrors of Underdark. But the horrors of the Underdark seemed worth facing because of the wonders the outside world offered.

Her father taught her how to lie well to avoid punishment for her new found compassion and desire to do good. Her father also told her about a God called Kelemvor who is a God of Death and Justice and how he’d not be a bad God to follow because she is close to death so often. He said he was her choice because unlike Lolth he did not force people to follow him.
He also revealed that he him self worshipped Kelemvor as did Sethran her brother.

With a sword in her hand she convinced her mother that with the sword she felt like she wanted to spill blood and that she wanted to kill more. So both her parents taught her how to fight ready for the fighting school. Drisimi enjoyed fighting because she could pretend to be vicious and deceitful but not harm any one.

At twenty years of age, Drisimi ended up attending the Melee-Magthere, Menzoberranzan's warrior academy. At Melee-Magthere Drisimi did really well she was not the best in the class but she was in the top few. Her family and mentors where stunned and didn’t expect her to exceed as she did. They did not imagine her to be able to stealth in the shadows and play dirty tricks to win as well as she did. They where particularly impressed with the end of 3rd years fight, it is drow versus drow in a large melee battle. She came first in the class when she pretended to be helpless on the floor knowing it would lure some of her class mates out of the shadows to take gain advantage and then striking them while they where off guard.

During her years at Melee-Magthere she became really close to twinkle her sword and it was the fact that they worked together well that made her exceed in all her fighting classes and she viewed her sword as her closest friend. Twinkle even advised her when she carried a wooden sword in her hand for the battles.

She did not trust any other drow in her school and pretty much kept her self to her self. Although she really hated the Lolth brainwashing classes although Twinkle helped keep her sane. She just kept her head down and tried not to draw attention to her self. Twinkle reminded her why she had to get strong and keep going, and often was a great comfort when she was sad.

On gradation she was disgusted with the idea of the celebratory orgy but knew it was coming because her heroine Drizzt had to go though the same thing, but she knew that if she refused that she would be punished severely. So she just slipped away hoping that no one would notice because they where too distracted with the graduation festivities.

Her family welcomed her home and announced her chosen animal; the Akagawa family had a tradition of giving an animal to represent their personality. Drisimi’s was to be the lion, although she was told if she were male it would have been a donkey/mule since she was stubborn.

Nonetheless her families pride was short lived when her mother went though her things to find her Drizzt books. She was furious and livid, everyone in the Underdark knew of Drizzt. Drisimi’s mother knew that if Drisimi followed in his footsteps it would certainly be the end of the Akagawa family especially because of her brother Sethrans actions.    

He mother knew that Drisimi was very found of her father so decided that she was going to show her the “weakness” in attachment to others sp she killed her father and raised him as a zombie. Telling Drisimi that this is what she got for wanting to be like Drizzt so much, she could suffer the same way your heroine suffered.  

However it was not a zombie raised by Lolth it was a zombie raised by her mother’s own necromantic power. He was mindless corpse with no will of his own and was made to serve around the house. He mother wanted Drisimi to live with this pain. She wanted the vessel her father once called a body wondering around the house to remind her what crossing her mother meant.

A couple of years later things got even worse, her mother had given birth to another daughter and Drisimi’s disobedience where to no longer be tolerated and she knew that her mother had every intention of killing her if she stepped out of line again.

With another daughter she had another heir another daughter meant that not everything was riding on Drisimi. Knowing it was her only chance of not being killed, she had to end the life of her newborn sister. Drisimi knew in doing this she had committed an evil act but, she wasn’t quite ready to face the Underdark. She still had a few things she needed to do; being ill pre-paired to face the Underdark would certainly mean her end.

No one saw Drisimi kill the child but her mother knew how her new child met her end. But under drow law, she was not seen so she did not commit any crime. Her mother also viewed it has hope for her 1st child because Drisimi killed the child for her own benefit. Her mother did not know how much pain it cause Drisimi to do so, she had learned compassion for others, although her mother finding this out would have meant the end for Drisimi.

A couple years later she was ready to leaving because she could not take any more Lolth brainwashing and drow propaganda. But she had her plan set and everything she needed to implement her plan.

Before she left for the Underdark she stole a considerable amount of money and magical items and returned her father to peace. She knew that what he would have wanted because as an undead creature he was an abomination to the God he loved so much. But in remembrance before she left the drow city for good got the holy symbol of Kelemvor tattooed to her back and as symbol of dedication to her new God.

She did not spend long in the Underdark she moved has fast as she could through the horrifying and dreadful place, only stopping for just as much rest and food she needed. When confronted by the numerous unspeakable horrors of the Underdark she just killed what she needed to be able to escape and run away as fast as she could.

Some Months later she came across some surface dwarfs mining she knew she must be close to the surface and to a better life. First being very wary because she didn’t know how they’d react she didn’t know what truths there where to the lessons she had be taught. She knew that there was no way to separate truth from propaganda. She didn’t want to fight unless she had to so she did her best to sneak past them and hide from them the best she could.

However she couldn’t help but be astonished by them, she saw them laughing and joking with each other. She saw the bonds of friendship they had and was stunned to see them protect each other when one was in trouble. These where things she had never seen before, only have heard about in books.

Watching them as she tried to slip past them filled her with joy and hope to what new things might await her. She did know that not all the people on the surface would like her. From the books she had read she knew her race was hated and feared but she knew it wasn’t impossible to find her place because her heroine has done it before her and maybe her brother too.  

However this may have made her drop her guard too much, she over heard a dwarf talk about how proud he was of his new born child and how much he loved his wife. She wanted to stay and listen to what he had to say and engrossed in very word he had to say. But in doing so she was spotted by one of the dwarvern miners who reacted out of fear and began to attack her and shouted an alarm.

She tried to plead with the dwarf and say she meant no harm but they thought it was all tricky to try and get them to drop their guard. She knew how to disarm enemies without harming them too much. But the large numbers very nearly killed her, but she managed to get out and reach the surface.   

Drisimi was too stubborn to die at this point; she had gone though so much to get here she wanted to enjoy the surface along with the life it could bring her. She found a nice hiding place to rest and recover. While a passing dragonborn paladin, followed her he luckily noticed her holy symbol and by coincidence or extraordinary good luck was also a follower of Kelemvor so wasn’t in a hurry to kill her, in fact was curious.

Something told him to follow her and help her so he healed her up. Drisimi was very thankful and got talking to him. Within a few minuets the dragonborn decided that she wasn’t evil. And Drisimi was very curious about him because he was a holy fighter and she wanted to learn more and follow in the same footsteps.

The dragoborn the introduced him self as Sir Balias Gixustrat, then offered to take Drisimi to a city called Waterdeep in the North of Faerûn. There he would teach her how to be a paladin as well as the laws she would need to follow.

Fully healed up Drisimi and Sir Balias made their way to the city of Waterdeep. Her she could see the sky for the first time, it was night and the moon and stars where out and Drisimi was in ore of the beauty of it all. The trip was long and Drisimi got driven out of a lot of towns she tried to pass though. This did not discourage her much because she knew the evils of her race first hand so knew their fear had justification.  

At Waterdeep she managed to settle in fairly well Sir Balias vouched for her and because he was well known and respected she was allowed in the city. With the money she had stolen she managed to by a large house in the rich noble part of Waterdeep. Here she got her paladin training and was happier then she has ever been before.

However getting close to her 40th Birthday she decided she wanted to go adventuring. She wanted to help the people of the surfaced and protect the world she loved so much from evil best she could. She also wanted to fight Undead and rid the world of necromancy she wanted to stop people suffering they way she had when her person closest to her was turned into that rotting abomination that lurched around her house for years. And partly she wanted to do good deeds to help prevent the horror’s she faced in the Underdark from haunting her.

Before setting out she came across a 4’11” red headed human girl called “Scops” who was a Gothic Lolita styled pirate. At first Drisimi thought she might be useful because traveling with a human people wouldn’t harm her as much because Scops would be far more trusted. But Drisimi grew very attached to her and was really surprised to find that Scops had her back and saw her as a friend. It was really the first friend she had ever had and this made her even happier. Her morals weren’t perfect but she was a good person who could be trusted.

This is were Drisimi also developed a taste for the Loltia fashion because she wanted to return to a time of innocence, and not only forget about the childhood she faced in the Underdark, but partly re-live part of it.

And is now currently happily adventuring Faerun.
