How he came to Erinn: Erinn born.

Bio: Jedda was a curse. . . Or at least that's how the town saw him. An elf born with black hair. Mrs. Noll, his mother, thought nothing of this. She named her son "Jedda" after a precious stone he reminded her of and gave him the middle name Topi; hope. Hope that one day the village would surely embrace the child as she and Mr. Noll did so easily.

Jedda's father, a town guard, disappeared when he was only four, leading the town to think it was somehow the black haired child's fault. His mother defended him, insisting that the other guards merely look for him in the desert. Maybe he had gotten "lost". Whispers abound of a man who could no longer tolerate having a cursed child of his own blood fell upon the woman's ears. It made no dent in her sturdy soul, however, for she knew no one loved Jedda more than her and her husband. Within a year it was quiet in Filia once more, but three years after the disappearance of her husband, Jedda's mother fell ill. She soon passed away, leaving the child in the care of the village. This too was blamed on him, but the boy somehow managed to lock his hatred away.

The young elf hardly remembered his father, but losing his mother was devastating. At the tender age of 7, he was placed with a foster family. They were not. . . bad, but they were not the Noll family. He couldn't adjust and soon began acting out. He didn't give a second thought to the stigma surrounding him, but the villagers saw him as possessed. Desperate not to be ostracized, the new family the Alstons thought to do what anyone with an uncontrollable child would do: put him in extra curricular activities! Luckily for them, they picked the right one. Jedda fell in love with performance art. It was nice to get away from being who he really was to take on the role of being a hero, or to lose himself in a song.

Now 11, Jedda is being allowed to pursue a career for himself. Though the nagging feeling of never truly being accepted for who he was rather than who he could portray still hangs over the boy's head like a dark cloud, waiting to let loose at any moment in a downpour of self hatred.
