My life has been one of abandonment and disappointment right from the day that I was born. I was an unwanted baby, a mistake you could say. My mother left me for the wolves in a small basket covered in a tattered cloth deep inside the woodlands of Nagnang, far from my place of birth in Kugnae.

It was a mere stroke of luck, that the man I came to know as my father, Maroh, found me. He was already an old, greying man at the time, out gathering berries and roots for the winter to take back to the small secluded village he lived in. Maroh, a kind, gentle soul, took me in and raised me as his own. It wasn't until his sudden passing when I was around the age of 8, that the whispers in the village began - that I did not belong, I was not from there. I wasn't one of them. I didn't belong, and before long enough.. they sent me, a child of 9 years, out on my own to find my way through the vast, unknown world.

I somehow made my way to Kugnae, apprenticed myself to a local weaver taking up the trade, for a few coins a week. Just enough to get a meal here and there, and a change of clothes. I had no home, often I slept beneath the stars.

Eventually, I somehow managed to 'make it', or at least, it felt that way. I had a home amongst my Druid family, and many friends inside the Tiger clan which I had become a part of.. but something was missing. I had been doing some research on my father, Maroh. I wanted to find who he was, where he had come from, I had a suspician he had not lived in that village all his life, not with all those vivid stories he used to tell.

My research led me to a name, but a name was all I ever found. Kougaiji. For months it plagued me, and I had all but given up hope. It wasn't until my path crossed with a young man's, Ninked, that I was able to find out more. You see, his wife Katarei's father's brother.. was  Maroh. It was at that moment, that I realized I had found what it was I was searching for. Ninked and I talked awhile longer, and later I was introduced to the rest of my unknown family. We may not be related by blood, but the Spirit of my father Maroh runs through me, and I have found where I belong, as part of the Mizu family.
