== Beginnings ==
'''Darkfeather Muhlahn''' was originally created in a MU based environment as a character to test out certain idiocinracies of the system. She became a character when she was discovered by one of the local [[dragon|dragons]], which took it upon themselves to attempt to make the then simple [[elf|wood elf]] into a snack of draconian proportions. Needless to say, the poor thing took off running as fast as she could away from the big, scary dragon. The dragon chased her all the way to the local gathering tavern, where there were people whom tried to stop the dragon from eating her. Thus, a character was born. 

== History ==

=== Early Life === 

Her early life was remarkably unremarkable. The youngest child of two loving, but a bit distant parents, she was a quiet, introverted youth, whom preferred to keep her own company. Even at that young age, she showed a remarkable talent for creating things from different materials, as it was her escape. She could see things in the materials, and grew in skill at drawing out the things she saw. 

Her introverted nature made her somewhat of an outcast among her peers, often times leaving her lonely for the company of others.

=== Transcendence === 

Her life all change from such a simple existence one day when she discovered the secret that her family held in the form of a stone tablet.  She had heard her father mention something to the effect that the tablet was a familial responsibility, but she had never seen the object until one faithful day when everything changed. Curious a creature as she was, she snack into her father's secret chambers, to steal a glance at the object. Really bad luck, she tripped and fell upon the thing, breaking it into pieces, and freeing what was imprisoned inside of it. 

It turned out that her family responsibility had been to the guardianship of an imprisoned demon, which had been imprisoned inside of the tablet. When it was shattered, it released the creature. Having been imprisoned in there for so long, the demon no longer had a body of his own; thus he possessed the person closest to the shattered tablet. As luck would have it, that was Feather.

Now this demon upset at having been imprisoned, and an evil being by nature. He sought revenge upon the family that kept him locked within the tablet, as the one that had put him there was forever out of his reach by now. That night was a very bloody one. He possessed Feather, and, with her hands, killed her entire family, then burned down the village that had been her home for so long.

Thus he left her to deal with the consequences.

=== Consequences ===

And thus, our beloved little wood elf was forced to flee from her homeland, as no one would believe that it had been the demon that had committed these horrendous acts. Having the face of another does have its advantages like that. She fled her homeland for a town a few weeks ride from the woods she grew up in. One there, she was anonymous, as most people are in cities of any decent size. And this had been the capital city of the neighboring land. No one knew who she was there, and she set to staring her life anew. 

There, she set up shop as an artisan, as had long been her calling, and eked out a quiet existence as such. Till one day, she was out in the woods gathering wood for a new project she was working on, and was beset upon by a dragon of a less then virtuous nature, intent upon having charred elf for an afternoon snack. Needless to say, the poor thing ran from the dragon as fast as she could. Given that the dragon was in the mood to play with her food, she actually made it back into town without becoming a charred snack, though the dragon persisted in the pursuit. 

Luckily for her, she came upon a group of adventurers, which contained another dragon that apparently knew the one that was chasing her, and, in no uncertain terms, told the pursuing reptile that 'two leggers' were not creatures to be eaten, as they were friends. So her hide remained intact, for the moment, at least.

She disappeared shortly there after. None knew what had become of her, until a few months later, a confusing story surfaced. The elf had been found, her mind apparently stripped from her, in the hands of those whom took the law into their own hands, accused of a short list of very brutal, horrendous crimes, which, to this day, most don't speak of. 

Rather then killing her outright as would normally be the punishment for the crimes which she was accused of, a bit of leniency was shown for the fact that she seem to be completely out of her mind at the time. She was imprisoned in a stone wall; put there by a bit of magic.

=== A Deal Made === 

Thus she was left alone with the true perpetrator of the crimes she was accused of. The demon that she had released from the tablet in months past. With no one outside the two of them to focus upon, the demon turned its torment upon the elf, intent upon breaking her down. He intended to where he could always be in control of her body when he could come up with a way to free them from the prison of rock and sensory depravation. 

Though the elf proved to have been galvanized by the torment that the beast had already put her through, and proved much, much more difficult then he had though to break down. He never completely succeeded when the opportunity presented itself for escape. A shadowy figure came to the both of them; in the battlefield of the mind they shared, and offered a deal. To the elf, he offered not only freedoms from the stone prison, but freedom from the demon as well. In return, she simply had to accept his taint upon her soul, and serve as his eyes and ears, as a spy. 

It turned out that he offered the same deal to the demon, that he would rid the beast of the elf, and give him her body to become his own. 

Both agreed to the deal. One should never trust a devil that offers everything you want, as you never know what you're going to get. Such was the case with these two. Rather then freeing them both from the other, he fused the two of them together in a shoddy, 'spot welded' way. They were somewhat merged together, though retained two separate personalities and the like. At least at first. Slowly, the two started to merge more fully, ended up with the appearance of a half demon elf, or a hanma elf. Though it was a while in coming.



And I will finish this when I have more time, and my muse is co-operating. :o)
