Raziya Misericordia: The Woman Behind the Mystery

Raziya appeared in the realms of hiddenworld with a pouch fill of coins and a bag over her back. She looked very worn and shabby, and many assumed she was another thief come to prey upon the pockets of the local population. However her demeanor was that of one of nobility if not royalty. Many have been puzzled by this young woman's apperance. She has the looks of an elf in many ways, but claims to be human. She says she is a Mindhealer, one who heals the heart and spirit instead of the body, but many on seeing her think of the old saying, still waters run deep.
So who is this mystery girl? She holds a secret in her heart, and different name. Raziya Zalika was the name she was given at birth, at a castle on the sea. Born to royality her name meant, and so she was. The King and queen were startled by the elven apperance of their child, for her parents were human, and elven blood had not been in the line of sucession for near a millenea. But they shrugged it off and raised her best they could.
Although not idyllic, her life was not a bad one until her 17th birthday. While the whole castle celebrated dark pirates invaded the castle, killing all the men and older women, and taking the younger ones for slaves and playthings. Raziya lost her virginity to the raiders, and was frequently raped until she came to the city of Torris and was sold into slavery.

In Torris she spent the next year and a half, going from one wealthy master to another. Most often she was used for a body slave by her master until the mistress found out and then she was sold anew on the slave markets. eventually she became part of a household that knew she was royalty from the shores of Abiloen and treated her as a person.
With this household she became the assistant to her master, a Mindhealer, useful for her empathy skills. After serving them faithfully for 6 months her master grew very ill and she did all the work of a Mindhealer herself, until his death.
With the master's death Raziya was inherited by the man's brother. He was so akin to the raiders who had taken her she gathered what she could and left Torris, running from Hunters for months before the law had expired, making her free again. With her freedom she headed for a new place, and arrived in the realms of Hiddenworld.
