Cultural and Background Information:
Cressida was born in the fiery depths of the Nine Hells, a plane of torment and eternal suffering. Her mother, a human sorceress, was captured and enslaved by a powerful devil, but she managed to escape with the help of a tiefling resistance group. Cressida was the product of their brief tryst before her mother returned to the Material Plane, forever separated from the love they had found in their shared struggle. Raised by her mother, she grew up in a small village where tieflings sought refuge and formed a tightly-knit community.
Due to her infernal heritage, Cressida faced prejudice and suspicion from the outside world. However, she refused to let this define her and instead dedicated herself to honing her skills as a rogue and a spellcaster. She trained rigorously in the art of stealth, acquiring exceptional abilities to move silently and remain unnoticed in the shadows.
Cressida's tiefling bloodline grants her access to innate magical abilities, allowing her to manipulate flames and darkness. She has learned to harness her powers to aid her companions in battle and to sow chaos among her enemies. Her fiery yellow eyes reflect her determination and indomitable spirit.
Her radiant personality and courage have earned her the respect and admiration of her fellow tieflings. Cressida actively fights for the rights and equality of tieflings, striving to change the negative perception of her people and prove that bloodline does not define one's worth.
