Zyvanna was born into a noble, High Elven family and grew up in U'harea. She lived a very privileged life, but was always a little bit different than the rest of the Elves in this quiet settlement. She was educated as well as any other Elf: art, music, literature, history, foreign languages. By the time she was 10, she was speaking five languages other than her native language: Common, Barian, Goblin, Inustani, and Usagijin. Her favorite subject, however, was music. The first instrument she learned to play was a harp, but then she saw an elder student playing a different instrument one day, and began to prefer the pitch and sound of it to her harp. She refused to play any instrument other than that one, the lute.
While the rest of the Elves living here got along peacefully with Drow, she grew up afraid of them. When she would see a Drow, she would freeze up: trying to be still and quiet, she thought they wouldn't be able to see her. She didn't know why she feared them...she just did.
As she grew, she began to develop a bit of a wild side. She would often sneak off on her own across the mountains over to Fickle in Nekonia. There she would observe the way others lived and would often rub elbows (among other things) with travelers passing through, often humans. She was able to keep this secret very well, however. She would return home after a week and tell her family she'd been exploring historical sites, with which they were satisfied.
When she reached full maturity, her family couldn't believe it. She was a very petite 5 feet tall: odd for a people who grow to be a bit taller than that. She was the shortest in the village at her age.
On the eve of her 100th birthday, she was struck by a mysterious wanderlust, even more than just crossing the mountains over into Nekonia. She wanted to see more. She suddenly felt that she needed to leave and explore immediately. With no delay, she crept out undetected in the middle of the night, leaving only a note for her family saying that she may be back someday and taking only the clothes on her back, a bow and arrows, and her lute.
She decided that she would live and travel as a Bard. She chose a favorite star in the sky and followed it by night. In the morning, where ever she found herself, she would play her lute and with the tips she'd receive, she'd buy food and shelter for sleeping.
After 14 years of traveling, she found herself in Doma. Hence, she has been living well for two years. The desire to leave Doma has not yet struck her. She is appeased for the time being.
