Born in Oranavra, Vi was raised specifically to bring honor, titles, status to her family. And at first, she did. She fought in many tourneys until one day arrogance and hubris brought Vi to her knees. Before Andruil herself. That one failed tournament was her undoing. And they lost everything to Andruil. Including Vi's freedom. While she'd continue to fight, on Andruil's behalf, she would win no further power for herself. All would go to the great Huntress herself.
Unfortunately for Vi, her desire to never fail again led to her becoming one of Andruil's most prized slaves. Something that would one day lead her to becoming a gift to Ghilan'nain. And, thus, she became among the first of the Aberrations. Creatures created by the Mad Scientist in an effort to craft the perfect being.
Torn apart and put back together over and over again, Helvil soon learned she'd never known pain in her life. Not till she was gifted to Ghilan'nain. Each time something would catch the Mad Scientist's eye, Vi would be ripped apart again. Put back together with great care for selecting the right features. Picking out just the perfect aesthetic changes to meet her vision.
Then, one day, she was cast aside. Bored, Ghilan'nain had moved on to another project. Another Aberration. Another soul to torment. Vi lost track of the years, not even certain sometimes she was alive during the process. In modern times, she's learned to joke about the trauma. Making light by saying she's been dead more times than she has scales on her body.
