You were exiled from the fey realm at a young age. You had a difficult time surviving in the human realm, before you were adopted by a blacksmith(race of your choosing, but the default is a dwarf). You were taught how to smith by your caretaker when (s)he mysteriously disappeared. Around this time you found out you were a fey, and the village began to think you were cursed as the village hated feys. They eventually chased you out, and you traveled from village to village until you found a secret fey village. You lived the rest of your life in this secret village and then after something began to pull you away from your beloved home, but they said you were allowed to come back anytime.
Note that only Feys such as Fairies can pick this background.

Suggested Characteristics
