Seperated from her caravan at a very young age, Alamina did not grow up to follow many Komodi traditions. Living on the streets was rough, but atleast eating literal trash helped Alamina survive for longer than fellow street urchins of the non-komodi variety. Another thing that helped her, was to quickly figure out what four fingers could do when moving well and quick.
But Alamina wanted more out of life. Something fun. Using her skills and talents she practiced tricks, gambles and shows to earn money. Not much was given at first, if at all, it was mostly out of pity. Using most of her earnings to invest in materials for her "magic" tricks, she soon gained an audience in young children, easy to fool, and generous with their small amounts of change.
Alamina wasn't thriving, barelly coming by, but it was a better feeling, than barelly coming by with no purpose. Alamina even started to visit other towns and cities to show off on the streets, buying trinkets that helped on her show along the way. Having a crystal ball enchanted to show abstract pictures when ceirtan words are said ended up costing her in eating literal trash for a few years. And then a few more years to buy an even bigger invesment, a packmule, to carry her items and even allowing her to even get a small tent to give her shows a mysterious allure when she did completely fake fortune readings in it, and more freedom to sleep wherever. For some reason the mule, named Bido, is enjoying better meals than Alamina.
