Once upon a time there was a mischievous young Eladrin. She lived on the border of the Feywild and the rest of Faerûn, in the settlement of New Sharandar, nestled in Neverwinter Wood. All her life she has heard stories of her ancestor in the fey wilds and her family’s duty to keep the passage to the fey wilds safe… No one told her precisely how to do so. As a child she took it upon herself to be the personal guard of the gate. She would keep watch with her bow and swords she paced the entrance. She would set up her practice targets just outside the gateway, so she could still keep watch. One day she missed her target and her arrow flew through the portal…She had never been through the portal, for she was not allowed at her age, at least without her parents. She couldn’t leave her arrow over there…she had hand made her arrows, using special peacock feathers on them. She decided to try to pass through…she slowly stuck her head through the portal…as she did small green creature appeared carrying her arrow. She was so shocked at this small creature that she tumbled through the portal almost landing on her head. The small Sprite couldn’t help but laugh at her. She made a face at him which only made him laugh harder. She didn’t know his name so she called him Nyx. This was the start of their friendship. She would sneak in and out of the fey wilds to play games with him. He would help her train by throwing things for her to hit with her arrows. They would monitor the gate together, one on each side and send codes through the portal to warn of travelers. They loved playing pranks on the travelers.
She would lay on top of the arch and wait for people to try to come through. If she sensed people coming from the fey wilds she would swing down and stick her head through the portal and yell. If she saw people trying to enter the fey wilds she would pop out of the bushes and demand the reason for passage. Most people thought she was adorable, until they went too far.
One day Merrisara Winterwhite leader of New Sharandar was traveling through the portal to the fey wilds. Unfortunately this was just after Nyx had invented a new game of catch & fire. Nyx would throw the arrow through the portal and Farryn would attempt to catch/dodge it and fire back. It was supposed to help with her reaction and drawing time. She was so caught up concentrating on the game she did not hear the soft footed procession come. As Nyx threw the arrow through Farryn jumped from behind a tree and fired back, as she released her arrow she saw her mistake. She had fired directly at Merrisara. She quickly deflected it with magic but Farryn knew she was in trouble. She was brought in front of the leader and her mother, Oria Phyrie, and father, Nikorelius Phyrie, were called. After many apologies and begging for mercy, it was deemed that she was no longer allowed by the portal. Her mother thought it was best if she was far away from the portal as to not tempt her to go through. She was sent to her aunt in Neverwinter to finish her training and hopefully keep her out of trouble.
Adventure and trouble seemed to follow her though. She soon ran into a businessman named Gundren Rockseeker. She started with running small errands for him. She was quick on her feet and a fast learner.
