I'm new to this board, but I tried to read around before I even attempted to make a character. I also decided not to try philsys the first time around, since it is slightly complicated.
I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions
Here it is...

Short History:       
        Elyssa is a child born of a rape to a poor seamstress in Port Sleipnir in Baron. She never knew her father, a sailor, being that he raped her mother and then sailed away on the next ship. She lived with Susanna, her mother, until she was fifteen. When Elyssa was fifteen, Susanna caught an often-deadly disease. She was too poor to pay for a doctor, so she died. Elyssa set out into the city to find work when she was done grieving for the one person in the world she cared for. She couldn’t find work anywhere, and joined up with a harbor gang to survive. She was rescued from the violent and abusive gang by a thief she knew as John. John taught Elyssa the tricks of his trade, and in doing so gave her a new life. However, he exploited her gratitutde, manipulating and sexually abusing her. Elyssa managed to wound him and escape, and now travels Gaera as a mercenary on her own.
Again, any feedback would be greatly appreciated
