Born and raised in a small village (Red Meadow), on the outskirts of a large city (Belvidere). Parents are Priam and A'kina Perraseed, candlemakers. Falind is closer to her mother's sister, Amnesty Leith, as Amnesty has the more open, imaginative mind. Red Meadow is populated almost entirely by tieflings who left Belvidere proper, a safe haven founded about two generations ago.
Falind has had a thirst for knowledge all her life, but the books brought back from her aunt's trips into the city never quite quenched it. She wanted libraries, scriptoriums, universities, all information that wasn't available to her in her sequestered little village.
After aiding a half-elf noble (Oldwick Champion) in the wilderness around Red Meadow, they became friends and Oldwick proposed that Falind come with him to his family home in Belvidere. He secured her a low-level job organising and archiving the family's private book collection, with bed and board.
Falind's thirst for knowledge means she chafes at her own lack of knowledge about herself. She was born a sorcerer - her mother's bed spontaneously set ablaze as she was in labour with Falind - but has no idea why this curse settled on her, or how to control the power. She has accidentally set many things on fire in her life. As a student of history, religion, and the arcane, she cannot let this essential question about herself go unanswered. Her wild magic is the one aspect of her that is not measured and recorded. She has spent her youth searching for clues all around Red Meadow, has read every book in the Champions' library, so must now set forth to find answers - there is something deeper, she knows there must be, if only she can put the pieces together.
