Early life
Avalynn was born around 7 AAR in a remote Cuanin village in Cymru, to a mother named Sha'meii and a father named Tinnan. She discovered her abnormally high mana capacity when she was 5 and was sent to live with her mage uncle in the deep mountains in hopes of training her. Around 19 AAR, a group of Rasennans adventurers came into contact with Avalynn's village. Although they were peaceful, the Rasennans also brought in the common flu; which all Cuanin have no immunity against. After not receiving any letters from her parents for 2 months, Avalynn decided to leave the deep mountains and return to her village to investigate. The streets and houses were littered with bodies, rotting for months. Desperate, Avalynn rushed to her house, holding back her tears hoping for the impossible. With a heavy heart she opened the doors to her house, only to find the bodies of her parents lying on their bed, feasted on by hungry rats. Overwhelmed by grief, Avalynn attempted to cast a spell to resurrect her parents, instead she was sent to the spiritual realm of the land. The spirits were determined to punish her for attempting to manipulate with life, but considering her age they decided to allow her to continue to live her childhood to the fullest before cursing her with immortality forever.

Lone adventurer
Soon after her uncle died, Avalynn began to wander the continents of Rathnir in hopes of searching a way to undo the curse placed upon her. Not much is known about her during this period; however several travel documents that survived the centuries have noted that Avalynn have appeared in Plagos and Syltör. It is even documented that she have personally met with the Velereth of Aurlûnor Velande - Sareariel Lelya-Earcala and had stayed in Aurlunor for about 3 years. At some point, Avalynn had heard of a rumor about a powerful mage that was capable of undoing curses. Intrigued, Avalynn traveled to the location the mage was rumored to be; however, she was instead ambushed by 3 bandits, who thought by cannibalizing Avalynn, they would achieve immortality too. Caught by surprised, Avalynn was pinned, panicking she cast an explosive spell point blank, though it successfully send the bandits flying, it also permanently damaged her right ear. She ran as far as she could till she was out of breathe. Believing that she had tested her luck enough, Avalynn decided to return to Cymru to continue her studies in around 539 AAR.

Life in Viodoxa
Avalynn arrived in Valentum early 539 AAR. There she bought a small house and would often travel to De Sloog (around modern day Saerturat) for her research. There she grew close with a young Nicole Amphed; as a minor noble, Nicole wasn't allowed to leave city grounds and would often play alone in the city. So Avalynn would often visit her and tutor her in all sorts of subjects. On one occasion, Avalynn mentioned to Nicole that she was never named by her parents since it is customary for the Cuanin to only name their children once they reach 15. Upon hearing this, Nicole offered to give her a name; however Avalynn declined, saying that only the parents of a Cuanin child have the rights to do so. Fustrated, Nicole decides to adopt her and gave her the name "Avalynn Arû Amphed", appreciating the gesture Avalynn gave in.
