Some might mistake her for a human. However, upon closer inspection, Alsei has patches of verdant green scales, and slitted irises. Her hands are always blackened with soot and covered in calluses from working in the forge.

[color=92278f][b]Memories:[/b][/color] Alsei remembers her childhood. She remembers that her world was the forge in a grand city. The man who adopted her was a dwarf named Durren Cogspeaker. She had once asked him about her original parents, as she was quite different than him and any other dwarf she met. He told her that he found her abandoned on the streets as a baby, with only a plush. When the dwarf saw her, he couldn't stand to just leave her there, so he adopted her and raised her as his own child. 

During her earliest memories of her childhood, Alsei could remember being more interested in dresses and socializing than in forging. But that changed after one night. 

A mysterious and wondrous carnival appeared in the city, and she snuck in to see out of curiosity, with the egging of a friend. She doesn't remember much of what happened in the carnival. All she could recall was the sense of wonder, awe, and joy. The next thing she knew, the carnival was over, and the plush from her parents was missing! 

The people who ran the carnival were of no help, so she had to leave without the plush. It felt like she lost a piece of her parents, and she was inconsolable for a good week. 

At some point, she reasoned to herself that if she couldn't get her plush back, then why not make something new? So, she asked her adoptive father to teach her to forge and craft.

Durren was overjoyed at Alsei's request to teach her what he knew. She took to the craft and worked hard over the years. She even came to find that she enjoyed tinkering and inventing new items and objects for people. 

When she was old enough, Durren introduced her to the Artificers' Guild. She became a member with her own invention that she was proud of. 

However, there was one problem: The sponsor of the Artificers' Guild was a curmudgeonly human noble named Wendell Gromsley. Wendell had his own preconceptions when it came to people who were not human. He especially looked down upon the people who were considered monstrous, like Yuan-Ti Purebloods. 

Durren did his best to keep the fact that Alsei was a Yuan-Ti secret to the best of his ability. However, the patron found out one year later after Alsei joined the guild. 

After that, rumors started to spread that Alsei had gotten into the guild through charming and deceiving the other members. Rumors had whispered that she never worked to get where she was now, much to Alsei's frustration and anger. 

The sponsor even managed to get Alsei kicked out of the Guild. Thankfully, her adoptive father let her stay to help with the forge and his blacksmithing business. 

Things started to spiral for the worse. Durren began facing financial troubles as less and less customers came to his shop. The quality of his wares were just as good as before, and Alsei knew why this was happening. It was because of her presence. The fact that she was helping Durren was causing business to dwindle. 

The last discussion she had with him was an argument, much to her deepest regrets. She argued that she had to leave so that Durren can have customers again, but he wouldn't have any of that, knowing that she wouldn't be able to have a business of her own. The argument went in circles, and Alsei left the forge in a huff. That would be the last time she saw her family...

She doesn't quite remember what happened exactly and how she ended up as a spirit. But, something about the girl...Yin, is quite important to her. She just hopes that her adoptive father, Durren, is alright.
