History
Alisette was born in Icemule to Elikash Berrytoe, the brother of the Icemule General Store owner and Miriami Twixboto, a local farmer's daughter. Alisette was raised in a traditional halfling home, learning to bake and preserve local herbs and fruits. During her earliest years, she learned the healing properties of the environmental flora around her home. Alisette was a precocious child, often in trouble for her attempts to blend flora into unique tastes and smells much to the chagrin of her parents. They had to punish her severely once for attempting to heal an ice troll with her concoctions. Alisette soon acquiesced to her parent's rules of only healing halflings, quelling her urge to experiment and help all creatures.
She was also required from an early age to worship and adore the goddess Oleani. Her devotion and faith to Oleani would waiver, wane, and depart some years later at the time of her parent's deaths.
At the age of 10, the town of Icemule fell under siege by Queen Daukhera Darkflorr. The Queen enslaved many of the local halflings that Alisette had known all her life. Soon, she summoned Alisette's parents. Fearing the worst, Alisette's parents packed a bag with food, clothing, and silver. They then sent Alisette to the Landing to seek care at the orphanage. Just two days later her parents were killed in a glacial collapse as they were digging under the ice with other enslaved members of Daukhera's excavation crew. Heartbroken, Alisette wandered the rooftops of the many buildings in the Landing. She found solace in the temple and museum, often sleeping there unnoticed. Helga snuck her bread and stew now and then, worried for the wee halfling on the streets. Helga's kindness ended when Alisette consumed a large amount of ale with local guards one evening and fell asleep in Helga's hidden boudoir above the tavern. Helga was furious at her secret being exposed and threatened to report Alisette for vagrancy, thus ending her free roam of the streets.
Alisette decided to earn silver by healing the adventurer's in the Landing and made her way to the center of town, where she could offer her skills. She was noticed by Iseo KoraFest who implored her daughter Balley to learn about the young halfling. Soon after, Balley and Alisette formed an inexplicable bond and Balley decided to adopt the young halfling to give her a sense of security and belonging. This gave Alisette a large family, as the KoraFest clan is a tight-knit group of adopted orphans from across the lands. Finding her niche, Alisette's perky demeanor and happy outlook returned.
