Early Life
Alfirin was born in the spring of 1465 DR in the High Forest in Faerûn. Her elven mother Ailre raised her alone as her human father left before she was born. Her mother never talked about him and Alfirin still does not know who he is, even though there is a good chance her father could be the druid Reidoth. Ailre thought her a lot about nature, working with herbs and fungi making her an able herbalist.

After her mother died when she was 13, she found a nomadic tribe of rebels and orphans led by Relviel Norlynn, a half-elf who thought her the ways of the druids and how to use a bow.

During this time she saved a baby squirrel and bonded with him, called him Duilleag and kept him always by her side.

While the tribe was camped around Yartar she was approached by a man called Napo Popov who claimed to be her half brother from her father side. He didn't reveal who their father was but one night Alfirin woke up in a trance and, in front of him, started drawing some complicated schematics in a weird language. When she woke up Napo told her that is what he needed and he had to go but they would meet again some day, then they parted ways.

One day some of the members of the tribe betrayed Relviel and killed many of the rest, her included. Alfirin fled and she survived alone for a while until she reached the village of Hangrad and its nearby forest.

Hangrad and the Mass Trance of 1488
After settling down in Neverwinter Woods, in a hut previously owned by Hangrad's late gamekeeper, she became part of the village everyday life. While living there she met Moriel Neldëtalwi, a female drow who was running through the woods from some orcs. She gave her food and shelter and the two became very close friends.

When she killed, by mistake, one of the inhabitants while hunting, she was sentenced to social services and her first task was taking some people from jail and helping prepare the festivities for the celebration of the goddess Chauntea. Looking for the captives she found out that one of them was her half brother Napo Popov a warlock, the second was a male albino drow bard called Charna and the third was Mordesse, a female tiefling warlock. Together they started helping out with the promise of being absolved and, when the first signs of the Mass Trance started to show, they investigated and stopped the undead from waking up. When the village was ultimately mind controlled they helped the near Magic College to find the spell scroll that was later used to find the source of the mind controlling spell and destroy it in the famous last battle that granted them the favor of the whole village.

After these events the four of them went on with their own lives and in the following months Alfirin met Aoife first, a tiefling wizard who had just left her sect (The Silver Ashes) and then Elrod Linxakasendalor a brass dragonborn bard who had ran away from his family. With this newfound group she decided to leave Hangrad for a while and go on the road again.

The Forge of Spells And the White Dragon
While walking down the High Road Alfirin and her new companions stopped at the High Road Inn where they met the dwarf merchant Gundren Rockseeker and his human escort Sildar Hallwinter for the first time. There they got the job of delivering a wagon of supplies to the nearby town of Phandalin for the dwarf. This job led to the creation of their adventuring group, the Fellowship of the Luchd-Iomairt, and their involvment in the events following the rediscovery of the Forge of Spells and the appearance of the white dragon Cryovain. As they were looking for the Forge, they seeked the help of Reidoth the druid, an old acquaintance of Alfirin's mother Ailre. As they were working together, Alfirin discovered that he and her mother had a relationship and he could be the father she never met, though neither of them is sure about this because Ailre never talked to Alfirin about her father and never said anything to Reidoth aboud a daughter.

While in Thundertree Alfirin and her companions met some cultist trying to talk to the green dragon Venomfang. Wanting to stop them they followed them on the dragon's tower where Venomfang decided they had to fight for her attention. Defeated the cultist they agreed on becoming part of the dragon's "treasure" in exchange for help against Cryovain. Being now at Venomfang's service, the dragon tasked them with driving a group Talos worshipping Half-Orcs from the Neverwinter Woods. In doing so, they met Rhogar Linxakasendalor, Elrod's older brother, who having had some experience with the anchorites of Talos lead them to their hideout where they discovered the source of the Blights that were swarming the forest, a Gulthias Tree that, thanks to Alfirin's ability to talk to plants was discovered to be a cursed Treant. After defeating the Half-Orcs Alfirin decided she wanted to break the Treant's Curse and with the help of Hamun Kost and Kethra Sepret, two members of the Silver Ashes, the adventurers got the ritual that could help them. They went back to the tree and wile Reidoth performed the ritual they protected him and his setup from hordes of plant creatures, breaking the curse and setting the Treant free.

While staying with Rhogar Linxakasendalor, Alfirin met Sylnelis Liadon, a deaf High Elf blacksmith and skilled archer, who was working at the Linxakasendalor Family Hunting Lodge. Despite the first troubled attempts at communicating, the two of them grew close and Alfirin got pregnant.

After defeating Cryovain, Alfirin and her companions received a Lord's Alliance signet ring from Sildar Hallwinter and were named Cloaks for the help they provided with securing the Forge of Spells and ending the white dragon threat over the High Road. Gone back to Axeholm, where Phandalin had been evacuated in the meantime, Alfirin, Aoife and Elrod, decided to go their separate ways and the Fellowship of the Luchd-Iomairt was disbanded. Alfirin and Reidoth headed toward Hangrad while Sylnelis stopped in Neverwinter to see his family first before rejoining them.

Moriel
Alfirin met her while she was chasing some orcs within the borders of her forest. They are good friends even though they never went on an adventure together. Alfirin would support Moriel in every decision she makes and protect her from every kind of peril.

Napo
They met while she was with her fellowship lead by Relviel. Their relationship is mostly good even though sometimes Napo’s personalty could be difficult to understand for Alfirin.

Mordesse
Even though she is very strong-headed and sometimes violent, Alfirin likes her spirit and fierceness.

Charna
They didn’t talk much during their adventure together but he seemed the one that interested Alfirin the most. He seemed very deeps, in ways that she didn’t really grasp.

Aoife
Dear fellow inhabitant of the forest (at least for some time) Aoife is the wittiest person that Alfirin knows and she tries to protect her even though she really doesn’t like her undead pets.

Elrod
He is the most recent friend that Alfirin met in Hangrad, at the Inn while he was performing one of his draconic songs. They are quite different but she enjoys his company very much.

Reidoth
Druid like her, Reidoth can understand Alfirin’s spirit maybe better than anyone. They share the same love for the forest they protect and for the animals that live inside it. She hopes that they could share much more time in the future.

Sylnelis Liadon
Sun elf, Alfirin's partner. He is a blacksmith from Neverwinter who was living at the Hunting Lodge. He bonded with Alfirin when they met there and now they share the possibility of becoming parents. Sylnelis can't hear.

Relviel
She was the leader of the group of outcasts that lived as nomads near the High Forest. She taught the druid ways to Alfirin. She was almost ready to die for Relviel in the attack that had her killed.

Ailre
Alfirin loved deeply her mother. She raised her alone and taught everything she knew about herbalism and druid craft. She was killed by some bandits when Alfirin was about 13 yo.

Joslérvir
