Flamethistle developed her magical powers after an accident with two Devastation Orbs (though she doesn't know what those are). The orbs would have killed her but for Tymora's direct intervention. The orbs released elemental energy in the form of wildfires, wind-storms, and lightning in the region and became known as the Great Tornado Fire. Since then, her magic has been mostly fire based, with wildly unpredictable results. As most kender, she's insatiably curious and has an unquenchable thirst for adventure. She recently survived an encounter with an ancient white dragon, conversing with it for a while and even touching it (it had never met a kender and was surprised by her fearlessness).
More recently, one of her spells created a rift from Faerun to Golarion, allowing her and her friend Muk to step through. They arrived near Sandpoint with vague, dreamlike memories of their past lives. Unable to determine what happened, or how to return home, they learned Varisian and settled in Sandpoint. They have been there for about 4 months now.
