Backstory

Daesyra Voss was born in Tantervale to two city elves, Jaecyn & Viona. Viona was a servant, while Jaecyn, a blacksmith. Little Daesyra was their entire world.

Daesyra was just 5 when she first experienced her magical abilities. It was a summer day, and her parents took her on an adventure on the outskirts of the city. A meadow full of flowers and a sky not hindered by city torches or smog. As it neared dusk, all the lightning bugs came out to dance upon the field. To Daesyra, the little specks of light were magic, a true wonder. That is when it happened—light formed in the palm of her hands.

Both Jaecyn & Viona were terrified. Not of her—of what would happen to her. They knew the moment people found out about Daesyra, she would be taken from them to join the circle. They would never want to be parted from their child—and they knew how a 5 year old elven girl would be treated in the circle. They would never let that happen.

Attempting to keep a 5 year old’s uncontrollable powers a secret proved impossible. Daesyra couldn’t help it when frightened, or excited, her magic forming in little sparks & bursts of light. And finally, caught the attention of Templars. Jaecyn & Viona were warned by a neighbor— enough time to get Daesyra out of the city, but not enough time for them all to leave smoothly.

In a chaotic moment, Daesyra got lost from her parents, but was told to run, & so she did. Daesyra wandered to the grove with the lightning bugs. She waited, & waited. They never came.

As the days went on, she grew hungry, and thirsty, and that’s when she stumbled upon clan Lavellan. Daesyra didn’t know who they were supposed to be--she thought they might be the bad guys her parents had told her to run from. Terrified, but brave, little Daesyra held a few fists up before trembling and making a threat; which was met with some soft chuckles.

After it was clear to the Dalish this child had nowhere to go, they took her in. Some were hesitant, but in time, most of her clan would come to love her as their own. 

With her curious and bold nature, she was a bit of trouble maker—but her heart was always in the right place. Keeper Deshanna gave her the nickname “Da’lath’in” (little heart) for always trying to help someone (even strangers, which she was scolded for), or always trying to save some lost wounded animal. Even a wolf.

She was raised as one of their own, taught as one of their own, and yet, she constantly struggled with feeling as an outsider. Going off to the conclave was yet another one of Daesyra attempts to prove she belonged in clan Lavellan---but fate had another plan in mind.
