Background

Family: Ragron the strong man (slain), Rumona of acrobat fame

Hometown: Traveling Circus

Ravamorel Onyxarm was born in a traveling circus. She was the daughter of Ragron the strong man and Rumona of acrobat fame. When traveling the countryside, the circus caravan was attacked by goblin raiders from Underdark. Many wagons were destroyed, but Rumona was able to defend one. Ragron gave his life throwing as many people as he could into the surviving wagon. When Ragron was fatally stabbed, Ravamorel tried to jump to his rescue, but was knocked out by him and thrown back into the wagon. Rumona rode on the back of the horses pulling the get-away wagon for days without food or sleep until she died of exhaustion.

Now without means of income, the circus could not afford to keep what was left of its people and they disbanded. Ravamorel scrapped by as best she could until she was 'recruited' to be entertainment by bored nobles who thirsted for the blood of battle, but were unwilling to get their own hands dirty. Using strength training learned from her father and her nimbleness from her mother, in order to fight to stay alive in the arena, Ravamorel caught the eye of an old master, who was also 'recruited' when she was young, Janiries Milner (otherwise known as Drunken Monk Janiries). Janiries decided to take Ravamorel under her wing and teach the young dwarf how to fight and entertain using Martial Arts. With her training, Ravamorel was able to fight better and won the favor of a Lord Rickas, who gave both Ravamorel's and Janiries's their freedom.

Though free, Ravamorel did not want to stop fighting. She loved the fame, the fortune and the added bonus of beating people up. So with Janiries, Ravamorel became a traveling fighter. One night, drunk from the the ale bought for her fans, Ravamorel bragged how she was all pure skill. That she only humored Janiries's teaching, because she felt sorry for the old bat not getting a lot of attention. This riled Janiries greatly and challenged Ravamorel to a duel. The duel was to be set a week from the challenge, so that both opponents could train, but Ravamorel was too full of herself and demanded that the fight happen right then and there. Janiries accepted and thoroughly trounced Ravamorel, then ridiculed her. A song was song was made up about defeat and spread like wild fire. Humiliated, Ravamorel vowed to train hard and beat her former teacher.
