"I've certainly had some unusual experiences, but perhaps…"
Orelia hesitated for a moment, then clenched her fists as if she'd made up her mind.
"I'm a Tiefling, born in the Holy City Cadopolis," she continued. "As you know, Cadopolis was once the region in the world that suffered most deeply at the hands of Evil Demons. Countless Paladins and Cultivators shed blood and tears to turn it into the Holy City it is today.
"Tieflings, with our demonic blood, were naturally unwelcome around the Holy City. My parents were no exception. They drifted from place to place their whole lives, never having enough to eat. In the end, they starved to death on the road leaving the city.
"I was only eight years old then. I survived alone, wandering the wastelands around the Holy City and living off food I stole from villages… Honestly, those weren't happy times. I constantly had to watch out for wild dogs so I wouldn't get eaten."
