Ray'lei, a half-elf of twenty years, bears the delicate features of her elven mother Yavana, yet the subtle human traits inherited from her unknown father are unmistakable in the slight curve of her ears and the faint roundness of her cheeks. Her hair, a cascade of silver and gold, falls in unruly waves past her shoulders, a stark contrast to the deep blue of her eyes, which shimmer with an unspoken sorrow. Clad in simple, yet elegant robes, the fabric clings to her slender frame, a constant reminder of her confinement within the manor's walls. Her hands, often seen clutching a worn spellbook, bear the calluses of a dedicated mage, her fingers nimble and quick as they weave the magic that has been her solace and her curse.

From a young age, Ray'lei's magical prowess was undeniable, a gift that set her apart and drew the ire of her father, Aldrin, who learned of her mother's infidelity. Banished to her room, she found companionship in the arcane, her studies a desperate attempt to fill the void left by her family's rejection. The manor, once a place of warmth, became her prison, its walls echoing with the whispers of a curse that Aldrin fabricated to shield his pride. Yet, it was Jassin, her stepbrother, who became the embodiment of her torment, his visits a mix of cruel lessons and a twisted form of friendship.

Her first venture beyond the manor's confines at twenty was a disaster, the world outside a harsh reminder of her isolation. Jassin's words upon her return cut deep, reinforcing her belief that she was unworthy of love. Yet, it is in the quiet moments, amidst the pages of her spellbook, that Ray'lei finds a flicker of hope. Her magic, once a source of isolation, becomes her tool for change, her resolve to break free from the chains of her past growing stronger with each spell she masters.

Ray'lei's life is a tapestry of conflict, woven with threads of betrayal, rejection, and the struggle for self-worth. Her journey is one of transformation, from a cursed child to a mage seeking her place in a world that has shunned her. Her unique trait, a slight stutter when speaking of her mother, betrays the deep-seated pain of abandonment, a reminder of the life she could have had.
