Violka's large extended family were one of the few families to live there nearly permanently and were known around town as generally no good but not malicious, petty criminals and the like. Violka's father is a camp priest who followed Gadhelyn, an elven deity of nature and trickery, her mother was a washerwoman. Both still live in the same little run down shack Violka grew up in.<br/><br/>As a child Violka was merry and light, making friends wherever she went with her confidence, gift for storytelling, and the fact that she was an adorable little red-horned girl. That she had three older siblings who were notorious for sticking up for their family made her mostly untouchable with other kids. As they grew up Violka remained an enchanting and captivating presence, taking great joy in weaving fables to entertain and distract. She briefly worked as a gofer for a traveling theater company when they stopped by, and acquired a taste for the stage and the metaphorical spotlight.<br/><br/>It was her eldest sibling, her brother Dirkin, who first introduced her to making a profit off of her skills. Using the makeup and costumes she'd 'found' after the stage left, the two dressed her up as the "Forest Witch" and tricked travelers into believing she needed tributes of food and treats in exchange for not putting a curse on them. The two found this prank hilarious and they pulled it again and again until they targeted an actual witch. This led to Dirkin taking care of a bright red frog with horns for a week, praying that it would turn back into his sister eventually. It did. They don't talk about it. She hasn't impersonated a magic user ever since.<br/><br/>Dirkin left home to become a nobody in the local thieves guild, her second oldest brother Ladin left to become a rather good silversmith who now lives in the guild district of the big city - where he struggles because nobody will trust him with valuable metals because of who his family is, and her only sister Niali joined the army on a whim and marched away years ago. She hears from her sister every once and awhile, apparently a life as a soldier suits her.<br/><br/>After her older siblings left home, Violka became partners in crime with her younger brother Perrin. Violka and Perrin ran more complicated confidence scams on folks in the city, targeting rich visitors, nobles, and people who had too much money for their own good. In the course of pulling a scam on a visiting human noble, a handsome and kind man named Henry Lyons, Perrin actually fell in love and the two became genuinely close. Undeterred by this, Violka carried out the scum anyway and managed to swindle Henry of his family fortune, relying on the fact that he loved her brother to gain his trust. She then proceeded to spend it all in a truly epic and debaucherous fortnight of partying.<br/><br/>Broke and ruined, Henry would have done something drastic if Perrin hadn't convinced him that his love was real. The two now work a small farmstead together, where they struggle to live honestly - one used to grift and cheating, the other never having worked in his life. Needless to say, they don't talk to Violka anymore and send her away angrily when she tries to give them money. Violka's relationship with her father cooled considerably as well as a result of this, although she still gets on with her mother and her older siblings, who have come to terms with Violka being a bit of an unreliable selfish flake and just sort of shake their head and smile about it while making sure their gold is secure if she is nearby.<br/><br/>After this Violka dedicated herself to trying to go legit, but her lack of trade skills meant she was only real able to earn money delving into places sane people wouldn't. While a member of a novice adventuring group she contracted a terrible disease in a goblin warrens, which left her hair a shocking white and her face pock-marked. She wears heavy makeup now to cover up these marks and hates being rushed in the morning because of this.<br/><br/>Additionally, she briefly joined the army with her sister Niali when they returned to the big city after a campaign. Niali gifted her a bow that she'd looted from a capture town, a well-crafted elven item that Violka took to instantly. Unfortunately, Violka lasted through all of one pitched battle, an awful fight against a rampaging warband of orcs, that she still thanks at least ten different gods for letting her live through. She went AWOL right afterwards and went to hide in a nearby city, hoping her desertion isn't taken out on her sister. She has nightmares about this, both leaving her sister behind and the battle itself.<br/><br/>Arriving in the new city, Violka manufactured a persona of a noblewoman who was a traveling gourmet writing a book of all the best foods in the land - Lady Devonia Whitecastle. She has managed to swindle some of the idle rich for their money and equip herself but has rapidly run out of money as is her way. No longer able to make money as a food critic, Violka has signed up for some adventuring work in the hopes of keeping herself afloat long enough to lay low in this new city until it's safe to go home.
