At an extremely young age, earliest a month old, your parents left you in a small alley way. Around a day later, an elderly elf named Ashley found you and brought you to the fey realm. She quickly brought you to her house, and raised you for a short 2 years. Nearby Feys quickly heard she was keeping a Tiefling with her and arrived with pitchforks and torches to chase you out of the realm. Ashley told you to start running, she'll be ok. You ran out, and ran as far as you could before you passed out of exhaustion.
A few hours later, you woke up, but instead of being on the floor, you were laid against a nearby tree. You quickly remembered Ashley's message and quickly began to run again before you found a small circle of trees. You went under the leaf covering, and found a few wood elves. They began to stare at you, before the leader began to walk toward you.
"Tiefling, why are you in the realm of the feys?" She said.
"I...I don't remember..." You replied.
The leader was concerned. "If you want, you can stay here. What's your name?"
9 long years later, you've settled into life in the forest, but you continue to wonder whether Ashley's still alive or if she had passed by then. The second oldest, who you knew as Adrie, gave a warning about Elves with torches and pitchforks coming to the camp. Holimion told you to run through the back exit, but gave you a paper with words and the pronunciations. You said thank you, and immediately started running. When you got to a spot you knew was safe, you started saying the words on the paper and a portal to the human realm opened. You immediately ran through, and you ended up in a back alley. After night fell, you ran to the forest and the forest raised you for the rest of your childhood. A few years later something pulled you from your home of safety..

You believe everyone has some sort of story to tell. When you do a (Charisma)Performance check in a crowded area such as a tavern or the town's central square, you get advantage and if someone decides to give you money but realize your a Tiefling, they ignore it and give you the money anyway.
