Backstory: (TLDR below)

"People have such weird ideas about Droaam, it's very amusing. People don't realize that most of the names here: "Vile Marsh", "Bay of Madness", or "Balinor's Sorrow", those weren't our names, they were names given by people who just didn't like the areas. Droaam quite nice actually, so many different and wonderful cultures, people, histories, and languages all working together. I guess they think that because we're the "Land of Monsters"; but, what makes them think a monster would want to live in an awful place? “Monsters” also need a nice place to sleep and good food. We have that in Droaam just like any place. It's not perfect, no place is, but really it's not the Demon Wastes, most people here are very pleasant and welcoming to others."



Born and raised in the Venomous Demesne, Mevza is a member of the b'Ezeq family, a lesser house within Bhar Doluun, one of the twelve major Venom Lord families. She spent most of her life studying within the Maze of Promises, where warlocks make and maintain their ancient fiendish pacts. But what one calls "dark" and "evil" another calls "benign" and "morally gray". Like many lesser houses, Mevza's family get their warlock powers from a fiend— their patriarch Ezeq— but none would call themselves evil. Magic and powers are a tool, to be used as they see fit, a core concept in the Venomous Demesne. Ezeq is indeed a powerful fiend imprisoned in Khyber, and was known for his cruelty and terror. Though to his family, he is lovingly called "grandpa" for his warmth and kindness. While he can't physically interact with his descendants, his voice and presence remains, spoken through hosts or even speaking directly to individuals.



From a young age Mevza was a highly curious, eagerly consuming any and all knowledge that came to her. Though she spent most of her life in the Maze of Promises, she also took many classes in the Maze of Mysterious, the seat of wizardry and arcane industry. Her future was looking bright until her dragonmark appeared. Tieflings aren't known to get them, and there were no signs beforehand. Yet, like the humans, hers appeared during her adolescent years, and it quickly became the talk of the city. Even their patriarch had no idea how or where it came from. Her mark allows her to “invade” the minds of others, albeit weakly, which caused many to fear her or covet her ability, as aberrants are feared even among the dark-dealing Venom Lords. For years she's been researching her power and the nature of the dragonmarks; but she can only learn so much from tomes in the hidden city, so she asked her "grandpa" for permission to leave and for the power to aid her in her quest to understand her powers and their purpose. Ezeq lovingly gave her his blessing and powers, asking only for souvenirs on her journey...and souls.



In actuality Mevza was "soft-exiled" from the Demesne, for a few reasons, but the dragonmark being the most pressing issue. Her family had already been in hot water with the greater houses, and their recent "transgression" of having a "tainted" child with a dragonmark "proved" to the Venom Lords that the b'Ezeq's bloodline had been corrupted. It was quietly agreed that Mevza should simply go away. Though she has always wanted to travel and see not just wider Droaam but the whole of Khorvaire she is saddened to never be allowed back. She hopes to uncover the mysteries of the dragonmark and learn why she has it and what it means, so that she could clear her family's name and one day return home. Despite the harshness of life in the Demesne, she does miss it.



Having left the Venomous Demesne with little prospects, she sought out Teraza's Eyes, a group who serve as information gatherers for the Daughters of Sora Kell. They may seem nefarious, but they are merely travelers and observers who seek out information and send it back to the Daughters to better Droaam's future. As a clandestine member, they have been invaluable in educating her on wider Droaam, its prospects, and the wider Five Nations. With their blessing and funding, Mevza has been able to achieve her dreams of traveling. She hopes to understand and master her strange dragonmark powers and clear her family's name along with traveling the world and making lifelong friends along the way.



Despite her situation, Mevza is chipper and curious, but not unaware that her presence can cause a stir, tielfings are uncommon in Khorvaire outside of Droaam and the Wastes. But she doesn't let it bother her, wanting to show that the "scary" land of monsters are just people too. She may seem shy at first, but that's because she's still new to these lands and wants to observe and absorb information before she speaks.



TLDR: Tiefling has a dragonmark which only specific humans and other half-humans have, calls her heritage and her family's heritage into question, kicked out of homeland, travels the world to try and figure out why she has the mark.
