Biography
Sirocco has always been on the run.
It wasn’t a hobby at first. Rather, it was the only way her parents knew how to lose track of the scourge clan they escaped from- the scourge clan from the deep with a prominent slavery network whispered about in hushed tones around the seedier corners of Sorneith. The one that will never let a single slave escape their grasp.
So Sirocco and her siblings learned to swim, fly and phase into light far before they knew how to strip meat from bones. Her family would sometimes find sanctuaries to stay at- the odd inn, a mage’s workshop, some tribe’s tent- but never for long. Information travels fast, after all, and the only way to escape information was to predict its path and undermine it.
But they could only outlast their seekers for so long.
It only took one misstep- one misplaced piece of trust for mercenaries to set up the perfect ambush. Sirocco only had a moment for her mother to slip her lucky runestone over before she was struck and bound up.
She never saw her parents again.
The slavers crippled Sirocco’s legs to prevent her from running. Of course they did. But she would not be able to leave even if she were physically able to- not when doing so guaranteed her siblings come to harm. Not that they mattered in the end.
For the longest time, Sirocco served in their caverns down in the Leviathan Trench. She doesn’t like to think back on the fanatical guards and the suffering cries, the crushing darkness and the biting creatures, but even now they still haunt her nightmares. If not for the comfort from the runestone she hid in her nest, she probably would not have lasted as long.
Despite all her efforts to endure, Sirocco’s best wasn’t good enough. She couldn’t swim well with crippled legs. Her attempts at cleaning and food-preparing were sloppy. As time went on, her delegated jobs became simpler and simpler until she was next designated to be thrown into the darkness of the Trench as fish lure.
Sirocco, clutching her runestone, screamed out into the void. There had to be anything- anything that could save her…
...the deities did not answer, but something else did.
She could not remember the exact conversation she had with the Entity. The resulting pink flash from her runestone, on the other hand, will be branded into her mind until her last heartbeat.
And for the first time in what felt like millennia, Sirocco was free.
As if the entire clan had been waiting for her word, suddenly gathering was no longer Sirocco’s forte. Instead, she found herself running again- first all over the Isles, then all over the rest of Sornieth. With so many dubious items to transport, in her free time, she returned to immersing herself in the land’s underbelly, observing its ins and outs until she was able to weave through and get exactly what she wanted without any hassle.
It was not long after until she truly learned about the Entity. To say her thanks- or because of some forgotten pact, perhaps- every now and then she tracks down Its cult to leave a present or two. Trinkets. Gold. The reject homunculi Cascade wanted disposed of.
Sirocco would never confirm this, of course. Don’t mention it.

Trivia
╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮
>Sirocco's lucky runestone, as she found out later from Dawning, was the signature return stone that Wonderstark used to use before the old lair was destroyed. She has no idea how her mother found it.
>Due to her Plague heritage, Sirocco is quite resistant to Wyrmwound plague. The immunisations provided by Omicron later certainly helped too. >When travelling at full speed, Sirocco can reach the Tangled Wood within half a day. ╰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯ |
