History of the Void.

Abandoning a child sets the tone for the childs life, they can either become cold and closed off or cling to those around them later on in life. For Diawen it was a mix of the two and it made her a walking confliction. From the age of ten when her parents up and left her to the present day Dia had come to realize that people were not black and white and while you couldn't judge the many by the sins of the few it was always good to be cautious which led her to not forming to many attachments in this life. 

Diawens birth is shrouded in mystery, she was found on the steps of a library on Christmas eve by a passing couple who took her to the hospital. Once she was cleared and her age guessed at barely a week old she was released into the foster system but she didn't stay there long, the couple who found her would soon become her parents; looking after her and raising her as if she was their own. Her life until the age of ten was simple and filled with love and happiness, she wanted for nothing and even had a older brother who doted on her and protected her from the dangers of the world around them. Her adoptive parents noticed that her intelligence was alot higher than a normal child but they didn't think anything of it, they loved her and by the age of five they had explained the circumstances of how she came to be with them and why she looked different. Dia accepted what they said and moved on with her life pretty easily, laughing and playing like any child should. Her early years were slightly harder on her as she craved knowledge about not only the world around her but the others that existed. 

Her parent's never thought she was anything other than human, the world had long ago accepted the existence of other beings but they specifically were of the belief that anything other than human was an abomination that they couldn't abide. Her parents never pushed her into their line of thinking but she picked up on it but could not shun the "others" like her parents. At school where both humans and Others comingled she was told not to interact with them but Dia could not stop herself which even at the age of five caused some tension in the home. Figuring she would grow into their line of thinking as she grew older they simply ignored her associations like they did not exist and everything was perfect, every year she grew older and continued to flourish...until she reached her tenth birthday...

The day Dia turned ten was the day her prefect world shattered and changed forever...

What started as a normal day soon became anything but, at the stroke of midnight Dia felt a burning sensation on her hip which while it did not last long it frightened her. As any child would she ran to her parents who comforted her until they saw what had caused the pain. On her right hip right above her hip bone was the marking of Ouroboros, at first her parents thought it was just an illusion but as the day continued on and the mark remained they realized they had taken an "Other" into their home and they were horrified. Dia was confused by her parents and older brothers reaction to something she had no control over and tried to hide in her room but they were not going to let her remain, under the guise of a happy family outing they took her to the beach where they promptly left her behind. Being ten years old Dia had no idea how to get home and when the authorities finally tracked down her parents they were not home, no calls were answered and eventually after a few days the house she had grown up in; the only home she had known was abandoned and her family gone like the wind.

Eventually the authorities were able to track down her parents but they immediately gave up custody of her stating "We will not harbor an abomination. She is not our child." Hearing those words should have broken they young girl but deep down while she loved them she simply accepted the fact that she had always been different and thought differently. Unsure of what to do with an abandoned girl they sent her to a family of wolf shifters who while wonderful to her weren't a good fit, often Dia would watch as they ran together and had that deep connection which she would never have and she mourned her birth parents. She had never given her birth family any thought but now that she was alone in the world she began to wonder why they left her on those steps. It wasn't until one day when the BlackPaw pack leader brought in a seeress for another problem he was having that Dia perked up, Brethia saw Dia for what she was and took the young girl in.

While she remained living with the pack Brethia came more often and looked after the girl, it became apparent when she reached puberty that she was a Oracle or Seeress but her line was so muddled. Finding out more about herself became Dia's main goal in life and when she was eighteen she finally accepted the truth..Dia was a Void Oracle. Her race was a rarity even in the supernatural world because she was not connected to any one divine but had the ability to reach them all, it was a double edged sword though as any one of them could use her as a conduit even without her consent. Dia trained hard with Brethia to hone her skills and learn to protect herself, she stayed with the pack but a while longer but eventually moved closer to Brethia but she never forgot the ones who were there for her at her lowest.
