Born into a quiet, modest village, Alex was always a fragile child, plagued by illness and weakness from an early age. Despite her physical limitations, she exhibited a curious mind and an unquenchable fascination with the mysteries of life and death. Her family, simple farmers, raised her with a deep respect for the natural order, often speaking of the balance between life and death as an essential part of existence.

From a young age, Alex became captivated by stories of spirits, the cycle of life, and the unseen forces that govern the world. She spent many hours studying old texts and listening to local legends, developing a belief that undeath was a natural extension of life's cycle—neither good nor evil, simply part of the cosmic balance.

Her fascination grew into devotion when she encountered a scholar who worshipped a lawful neutral god of undeath, emphasizing discipline, order, and respect for the laws of nature. Inspired by this figure, Alex dedicated herself to understanding these laws, believing that aligning herself with her deity could help her transcend her frail mortal form.
