Background

Elessa was born in the Vast, like many of the Tsurai, among the caravans and trade routes, instantly knowing a life on the constant move of wagons, horses and trade. Born the third out of five, she was the middle daughter to her clan's chief, Korat, and thus held a small place of honor, though not as much as her elder siblings, especially her eldest brother Kamir and her eldest sister Latisha. The family was a loving one, caring for each other, as the whole Clan was a giant family. Running around wagon wheels at night and being chided by other women of the clan not to do something was a regular occurrence. They watched out for each other, kept equal eye for trouble and the raising of children a communal affair.

Growing up, Elessa could not have had a more wonderful time. Free and always on the move. Even small she proved to be adept and quick, and also of quick mind. While books were not always readily available, any that her father managed to get a hold of, Elessa would read avidly until they had to be stored or traded away. She picked up on the stories of her clan and her people, the Tsurai, and anytime they came across other grounds, she would listen for gossip, learn from any scholars that they happened to come across. Her love of learning wouldn't diminish with time.

She was also quick on her feet and quick with her hands. Proving very deft, she excelled at acrobatics, proving a high rise walker and tumbler. It worked well when their caravan came to larger towns and helped in raising money. This also worked as a lovely distraction as well. She'd take her turns at lifting purses as well like others in the clan. True, they did not always live the most honest life when it came to people outside the clan, but they needed to eat as well.

As Elessa grew older, she started to think about the world outside of the Vast.
