Zhivin grew up amongst zhes own kind in a remote forest they inhabited. Zhes childhood was calm and rather usual for one of zhes species. Zhe learned about the nature and how to live as one with it, the means and control of the limited magic zhes kind can make, and anything else zhe'd need to live a comfortable life. Zhes affinity of poisons was something that developed from learning about zhes own body and its functions, as well as the circle of life and means of survival. It was something not many dived into, the making and handling of poisons, but it was something that could greately benefit zhes society in different ways. Thus, while growing up, zhe spent a lot of time with the few others invested in poisons around zhe to learn from them and discover with them.
As zhe grew and learned zhe also found a fascination with exploration and appreciation for the beauty around zhe. Once zhe was considered an adult amongst zhes kind and zhe had learned much of what those at zhes home could teach zhem, zhe decided to travel around the world to see new places and to offer zhes help wherever zhe could. Turns out, a lot of places could use zhes knowledge of poisons and ability to make such. For a couple of years zhe traveled slowly across the planet zhe was born on to see its different sights, before zhe temporarily settled down amongst a group of sylvans. Here zhe started learning about their customs and ways of living, and though it was much different from what zhe was used to, zhe found the community to be quite comfortable.
