You have spent your life as a half-child, receiving the love of one parent but the resentment of another. You seek belonging, but that sense of loneliness has created a drive and discipline that is rare among others your age. Although less likely to form friendships, those few bonds that you do have are strong and uneasily broken. You have also learned to blend in (as much as is possible), to stay out of the eye of those who might mock you. You're also adept at entertaining yourself and spending long periods in solitude.

You carry in your body and heart the blood of a forgotten parent, with abilities, beliefs, and passions with which you are unfamiliar. At least one aspect of this parent will likely affect your life in an unexpected way, either in an important moment or through constant small interactions with the world around you. You might have an ability, a latent talent, a predisposition to a certain skill, or even a power that is atypical for your profession or class. This remnant of your unknown parent may manifest when you least expect it, in surprising ways.
