Alisette is an Empath by trade, a Mentalist by practice, and pursues avidly all the knowledge she can in these areas. Alisette loves many flowers, but is especially fond of roses. She hopes to grow her own unique petite rose plants someday.


== 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 fruits. During her earliest years, she learned the healing properties of the environmental flora around her home. She was also required from an early age to worship and adore the goddess Oleani. 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. The kindness ended when Alisette consumed a large amount of ale with local guards 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 Alisette's free roam of the streets. Alisette decided to try to make a living 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 unexplainable bond and Balley decided to adopt the young halfling to give her a sense of security and belonging. This gave Alisette a very large family, as the KoraFest clan is a tight-knit group of adopted orphans from across the lands. Finding her niche at last, Alisette's perky demeanor and happy outlook returned.
