History: She was born in a small plains village. Paela liked to wander the woods near her home when she was young, something she still likes to do at least once a week.

Recently a tribe of illithids attacked the village and all able bodies who could hold a blade were quickly armed and sent to the walls. Paela fought at the side of some of the regions greatest heroes but was never overshadowed.
