This was the first wizard I ever played in D and D this story refers a lot to the setting as this character came from the native people of the prime world we were on. So again lots of thanks to Josh Sterns (author of Winter's Riddle)
I also just remembered this was the other character that saved the evil priest.
Enasan
They would bring back books. Those braves who came back at all. They
would take them to the treasure pile as offerings to Collu'qan. Later,
Enasan would sneak out and take the books one at a time. The dragon and
his hero never seemed to mind.
She spent months, sometimes years on a work, deciphering the tomes
little by little from the time she was young. She hid her studies from
everyone, her parents, her elders, the chief, until the day she
practiced her first spell. She didn’t realize just how loud the shout
would be.
She spent the next three days in the isolation lodge. Finally the
decision was made that if Enasan gave up her pursuit of forbidden
knowledge from the Time of Nightmares she would be allowed to stay. Yet
knowledge was the only joy she had, so she left to make her way through
the mysteries.
She spent her first days sneaking into the ruins across the lake.
Managing to barely survive she amassed enough knowledge to learn more
spells and there she also found even more texts had on healing arts
unknown to her people. When she had found as many spells as she could
she studied the medical texts until she was an expert in the art.
After learning all she could from the ghostly ruins she turned to the
forest and studied the creatures there. One day while watching some
giant beetles a group of strange people attacked them. The group fought
bravely but Enasan felt she had to step in. Using the first spell she
learned she made the sound of the Rocs which hunted across the valley.
Hearing the cry the beetles ran off.
Finding that the outsiders wished to meet the Strange One in the
tower, she decided to follow them. The chance to learn was always the
driving force in her life.

Persephone
In order to keep regular content occurring I thought I would put up some things that I have already written. Starting with stories and characters that were written for experience in a friend's Dungeons and Dragon campaign. This is my first character for that campaign her name is Persephone. She was a Tiefling priestess of Chaos. The story behind the story is that we were talking about making characters for this campaign and my good friend said he wanted to make a priest of law. Well me being contrary me I said, "hey you know what would be great to have in that party as well, a priest of chaos." This campaign is still ongoing and starts out as an introduction to Planescape while still being on a prime world. I believe both Persephone and the law priest (Lex) were from the Outlands, the area beneath Sigil where the outer plains have gateways. So this is the first of Persephone's stories, I had so much fun with her and her history I just sort of kept on writing. So watch out for more about her.
Persephone Holysword
Persephone was born to a conman and a priest of chaos . Some would consider the middle of the outlands, far from any town, an inconvenient place for a birth. It was but in her parents defence she was a little early.
Persephone had a blast travelling the planes with her parents. Some of the walkers in sigil would have a hard time racking up the number of adventures that Persephone had before she was ten. There was the time her sister was born on the first ring of the Abyss, there was some sort of strange forshadowing in the way her sisters were born. Unfortunately by the time her second sister was born Persephone’s parents were beginning to feel the strain of travelling the planes with too many children. So in a spur of the moment decision like most of the ones her parents made they found places for all three of the girls. Persephone, who was old enough to decide, chose to follow in her mother’s footsteps and so she and her baby sister went to the aBby OF divIne Chaos.
Persephone received her Chaotic orders and decided to spread the message throughout the planes. At some point she managed a stint on the Plane of Acheron where she learned much in the ways of battle and sword play. However, even with the constant threat of crushing, Persephone found the cubes and overall lawful nature of Acheron boring and soon moved on.
Despite being overall of Neutral leanings on the idea of good and evil, Persephone has found herself entangled in the blood wars from time to time. She looks on the entire prospect with amusement and claims she has only acted in the effort of continuing the wars for the sake of maintaining the balance of good and evil on the planes.
Now Persephone has found herself on a prime world. The number of explanations she has given for why she is there is equal to the number of questioners. Her haste to leave the world and return to the Planes suggests that she is not there by choice, though it is possible she has simply become bored with it.
