Other info
Tira has recently learned about the followers of Elistraee and of a drow ranger who have apparently abandoned the evil ways of their kin. She does not completely believe the stories thinking it could be a trick of the treacherous dark elves to get her kin to lower the guard. But even though she does not think it likely, she tries to remain open minded enough to not kill every drow she sees without first allowing them a chance to prove themselves.
She has had many encounters with evil drow which have left her with a stronger than usual loathing of the creatures. She will be openly hostile and sometimes even belligerent in her attempt to expose a dark elf as the evil creature she knows them to be. She will not, however, attack one without proof they are an evil dark elf. Even if her interrogation/provocation does not illicit an attack from the dark elf she will believe that the drow is only trying to get her to drop her guard and will become that much more guarded against the unfortunate dark elf.
Story thus far...
Tira grew up in the forests of the Dalelands near Myth Drannor. Sixty years ago her clan was attacked by drow. In the battle several of her closest friends and her sister were killed before the dark elves could be driven off.
Since then she has worked diligently to hone her skills as a ranger, focusing on archery. She would often volunteer for some of the more dangerous scouting missions to locate a rumored den of drow near Myth Drannor. It was during one of these missions that she wandered into the ruins of the once great elven city and stumbled onto the drow she was trying to find.
During the ensuing battle one of the drow attempted to summon and control a demon which promptly killed the summoner and began running amok. She tried to use the confusion to get away but the demon opened a gate to summon more of its kind. Unfortunately the gate appeared directly in her path and she fell through it. The next few days were a blur of terrified running and hiding. At one point she was trying to defend herself and she blacked out.
When she awoke she was in Sigil with no answers as to how she got there.
Unknown to her, during her terror filled flight, a latent power stirred in her and when it awoke, a burst of unfocused arcane energy combined with her fear unlocked a portal into Sigil that she was unintentionally knocked through by her attackers. The blow knocked her unconscious and effectively shut and locked the portal behind her.
Since then she has acclimated herself to life in Sigil but has been trying to find a way back home.
