Born in the City of Ermion, Kharia knew only poverty growing up. Despite being the daughter of a fisherman and a tailor, she often only ate twice or three times a week as her parents needed to strike the delicate balance of feeding themselves and feeding their daughter. During the day, she would oft wander the streets watching people going to and fro, watching how the rich treated the poor like lesser and trash. This fostered a deep-seated hatred of nobility, a hatred that would endure into her teenage years.

Having no real prospects to speak of, Kharia's stubbornness drove her to visit the library every day, filling her mind with tomes of knowledge on linguistics, magic, swordplay, economics, spirituality, and much more. Raw knowledge gave her an edge over other children her age as she apprenticed to a Mage at 16 due to her already somewhat sizeable knowledge of magic for her age. Learning from them, she became a potent Magic user, specializing in lightning magic. From there, she became a spellsword, wandering Ermion looking for odd jobs to provide for her family. Although this helped greatly, her family was not long for this world; her Father was lost at sea during a storm, and her Mother died in bed after the stress of providing while bereaving made her ill.

With nothing tying her down anymore, Kharia wandered for a while, looking for wrongs to right and evildoers to slay, like a Knight Errant of the stories. She felt good doing it, but a part of her yearned to make a larger impact on the world. As time limped forward, the apathy of people and the continuing proliferation of evil in the world wore her down, until she was finally reduced to a depressed wreck living only for the ideals that had been thrown back in her face.

That came to it's head when she saved someone from being fed on by a Vampire, succeeding only in becoming its next meal. Either by design or by accident, she was not drained completely, becoming infected with the Vampiric Plague and becoming an eternal creature of the night, cursed with ceaseless hunger and a living death.

Now, she seeks to make the evil of the world suffer for what they did to her, one person at a time...
