Like so many members of the clan, Hemlock was a wanderer before finding a home among the pristine ruins of the Mirrorlight Promenade. Born on the outskirts of the Scarred Wasteland, Hemlock never really could fit in with the other Plague dragons. So, when the time came, she left her home in search of meaning. She first traveled deep into the Shrieking Wilds, and though she was soon kicked out for being too interested in disease and decay, she managed to hang around long enough to adapt the shamanistic traditions of the native dragons.
At last, she somehow managed to attach herself to Corona's clan as the designated healer. To this day, nobody really knows how she convinced the otherwise clever clan patriarch that she was a healer of any sort, but the fact remains that she did. Sometimes, she even makes good on her word and cures disease instead of spreading more.
