Gip

At a young age you were sold to Elias by your parents so they could afford dinner for their other 13 children. Being the one with dwarfism they sold you right away. After watching him study magic and watch him experiment you wanted to learn badly to remove your dwarfism. You despised your size due to it being the reason your family sold you. You and another assistant Blip whom was a young half-orc who was abandoned as a child would always try to learn magic too. He was your only social interaction which is why you act awkward, you don't have much experience talking with others. You weren't that well versed in magic, Elias said he couldn't make you bigger to remove your dwarfism. A year later you saw him contradict that and decided to turn your back on magic, instead you turned to alchemy after and ran away to study science. You ended up in Rhein, the capital of Dhirim living under the streets. You learnt you could alter parts of you with alchemy and your size didn't play much of a factor now.

Your biological family was from Meroy. Originally a dumb goblin kid with dwarfism. Your family never gave you and your siblings names. Only bred to be sold. Elias bought you by trading in 2 goats in which your parents ate in one sitting.

You went to his laboratory but did not know where it was located other than it started with a T. You and another half-orc named Blip were his assistants. Blip was always rude to you. After a failed experiment where you ended up shorter, it made your brain more responsive and able to learn extremely quick. You learnt Elias failed the experiment and you left that night.

In Rhein you barely survived until you managed to find an alchemist being murdered and his alchemical equipment was left behind. His money was stolen. You took the opportunity to teach yourself by visiting the library disguised as a little halfling girl.
