might depend on what origin you want to take for sorcerer but some options could be:
Draconic Origin: Assuning Elven mother. Your father was a Half Dragon or Dragonborn and a member of the house guard, his relationship with your mother was hushed up and he was exiled when it became apparent your mother was with child. you look mostly elven but have dragonlike eyes, your innate magic comes from your fathers draconic heritage. You left the royal court to go find your father and see what else the world holds. Maybe you no longer care for court politics or the condescending glances of the other members of court.
Wild Magic Origin: Whilst you were a baby your parents made a deal with an archfey to cure you of a malady, the wild magic the fey employed left a residual with in you and as you grew you developed the ability to shape it into cantrips but eventually you started to experience wild magic surges and after one errant fireball killed a servant you were sent off to family estate in the country with a tutor who would try to mentor you into controlling your magic. Feeling the call of the wild you've gone walkabout and left the estate without telling anyone where you were going.
Shadow Origin: You were not born in a castle, you were premature and born in a tent near a tourney ground during some regional festivities. The night of your birth was not auspicious and it turned out you were born near a rift to the shadowfell. You have always appeared pale and sickly and many have commented that your emotional responses are "a little off". Some times at night you can hear voices on the wind that beckon you ot go out into the world, maybe one day you decided to do just that.
Divine Soul Origin: You were visited by a ghost who bid you to give a message to one of their relatives. You did and word soon spread of your connection to the spirits. Folk, common and noble, looked at you with a mixture of fear and respect. As the years passed more spirits visited you and asked you to perform some task which you duly did and now that connection has strengthend into the ability to channel magic form both arcane and divine realms.
Storm Sorcery Origin: (Assuming some Drow lineage) Your mother was the subject of an assassination attempt after you were concieved but before you were born. The assailant, a wizard, tried to use a Lightening bolt but your mother survived and unbeknowst to all at the time you retained a small amount of the magic used against her. As you grew you were always fast and agile and found it hard to stay still. Others would comment about static shocks they would get from you or that they woudl feel their hai stand on end when you were around and they would start to give you a wide birth. Now you have managed to manifest some lightning based spells and have given in to a sense of wanderlust and gone off to find fame, fortune and adventure.
Edit: I might also set your parentage to bit alittle lower on the noble totem pole, its much harder to slip away when you're th heir to an empire.
