Backstory:
Raid Shadow Legends Mithrala hails from the heart of the Free Cities of Arlathis, born into a family of apothecaries known for their wisdom and subtle magic. From a young age, Mithrala displayed not only a keen affinity for arcane arts but also a deep intuition about the human mind and afflictions of the soul and body. Her adolescence was marked by a mysterious illness that swept through her district, claiming the lives of many—yet through study and indomitable will, Mithrala unlocked hidden knowledge and brewed the salves that slowed its spread. Drawn thereafter to the depths of arcane research, she journeyed to the Tower of the Eclipsed Sun, delving into forbidden tomes and alchemical secrets. She emerged years later transformed and resolute, bearing a staff rumored to contain a fragment of celestial crystal. Admired for her healing acumen and feared for her defensive sorceries, Mithrala walks a path between sage and sentinel, striving to purge corruption wherever she finds it and to master the balance between mercy and power.
Secret Backstory:
Haunted by memories of the plague that ravaged her home, Mithrala is driven by guilt—convinced that her early failure to act cost loved ones their lives. In the Tower she did not merely study; she made a pact with a veiled entity whose visions guide her methods and haunt her dreams. She fears the source of her new powers is not purely her own—should the entity demand a price she cannot pay, Mithrala’s gifts could become a curse upon those she seeks to protect. She secretly hoards knowledge of both healing and poisons, fearing one day she may be forced to tread the same line as the plague that forged her.

She is modest about her achievements, bears her burdens quietly, and strives to inspire hope in others, especially those scarred by tragedy. She is slow to anger but quicker still to forgive, except in matters of betrayal and vile corruption—faults she cannot abide, nor easily forget.
