Kessena Sylan

Kessena Sylan, also known as Kess or Kessa, is a human woman living in West Farthing as a tea and herb shopkeeper. Her current goal is to become a member of the Florist's Market.

Early Life
Kessena, formerly known as Kerrick, was born in a small town in the Kingdom of Ilon. The colours in the world around her fascinated her and the flowers captured her imagination. Growing up, she often felt out of place as if something was wrong with her. Her father told her the things she loved were not meant for her and even her own body seemed wrong somehow. The feeling grew worse with age until her late teens when everything became overwhelming. With hesitance, Kessena learned more about herself and who she wanted to become.

A Fresh Start
The people who were supposed to love her ended up scorning her and the people in the town shunned her. They called her a false-life and a disgrace. After a couple years of abuse, Kessena fled the town in search of a more accepting one. She eventually found her way to West Farthing in the Kingdom of Valen. Although it was not completely accepting of her kind, she felt more at home and even managed to make friends.

The Black Market Incident
While browsing the market for new herbs and teas, Kessena stumbles across a rare flower used for an equally rare tea. As the merchant was leaving, they forgot a covered cage with a faerie inside.
