The wounds are very faint and long healed.  But if ones eyes were sharp enough and she had her arms bared they would see the old scars on her neck and arm.  the upper arm also sporting four thin white lines upon it as if clawed there.

Alianna is a barbarian .. born and raised.  Her being taught the ways of the warrior caste of her village at a very young age.  She excelled in the art of the axe and battle tactics, learning quickly and surpassing even her teachers.

When she was 16 she was as rite of passage for all the warrior caste of the village sent out into the wilds without food or weapons to survive for 30 days alone.  

Alianna choose a spot deep in the forest with a river and cave near it.  The perfect camp for her.  Plenty of game and the shelter of the cave, and fresh water plentiful.

Unfortunately for her she soon found out that she had chosen the territory of lycans.

2 weeks into her rite of passage there was a full moon .. Her camp was attacked just after the moon rose.  

Alianna was caught off guard.  She was set upon by a pack of the beasts in the form of great wolves with glowing red eyes, some in hybrid form.  

She managed to drive them off with a burning brand from her campfire, singeing a few of them, but was in the process wounded and bitten several times.

She survived her ordeal the wounds healing as the sun rose.  She thought nothing of it and completed her rites then returned to the village.  

Upon her return she was hailed and welcomed fully into the village.   She joined the warrior caste.   Her happiness at her new station and life was soon brought to an unhappy end.

For a month hence when the moon rose full she was overcome with agony succumbing to the darkness and pain.  

A beast, a Gigantic Wolf with glowing red eyes ravening in the village, killing villagers and livestock.  

The warriors quick to respond to the screams within the village finding a ravening great Wolf beast with glowing red eyes attacking and killing both villagers and livestock.  The warriors managing to surround the great snarling beast and subdue and bind it, after  catching the great beast in the midst of slaughtering the cattle.  Sluggish from eating it's fill of the flesh, maw dripping blood.    

The Warriors caged the bound beast the village mage having been summoned to examine the great beast, him making a horrific claim.

"Guard this beast till the sunrise.  For in the rising of the sun the stricken and cursed one will return to it's form for judgement by the elders".  

As the sun rose and it's cleansing light washed over the bound Wolf beast it trembled and yelped in pain, whining and writhing against the bonds holding it tightly.  To the horror of the villagers and elders, its form shrank and shifted .. four limbs becoming two.  It's beastial visage becoming human as the fur vanished, fangs and claws melting magically away.  Until the face regained the form of it's human host.  Exposing the cursed one for all to see.

Alianna  awoke surrounded by the warriors, her in the village .. blood spattering her body, clothes gone her naked and bruised.  

She looked around as she came to herself the village elders watching as the change reversed itself and she became human again.  

"Alianna Gryphon, know that ye be cursed, a Blood hungry moon cursed beast.  Ye have feasted upon the flesh of your comrades and friends.  You are Accursed, damned by the gods Themselves!!"  They then told her what she had become and what the beast had done, then banished her from their lands told never to return or they would execute her on sight for her crimes.

Her told to come to terms with the demon now inside her and combat it and overcome it.  Her led to the depths of the forests and then left on her own once more her family and friends turning their backs on her.

Eventually she gained control of her inner demon and beast.. .eventually finding her way to the city of Sinfar.
