Aarakocra Smith

Aarakocra Smith was one of the protagonists of Path of the Accursed.

Her father, a Kenku, left her life before she was born. Her mother, a human, attempted to name her daughter in a culturally appropriate way, but she knew next to nothing about bird culture, resulting in her name, Aarakocra. Unfortunately, human and kenku genes don't mix very well, causing Aarakocra to be extremely susceptible to disease. As a result of this she had to cover her skin at all times, including wearing a plague mask. No one but her mother has seen her face, its appearance is a mystery.

Since a majority of her time was spent inside her house, she spent much of it studying potions, hoping to eventually find one that would cure her and allow her to live a normal life outside like other children.

Though she never found such a cure, she grew to love potions and alchemy as an art and a science. She would end up using her potions as a weapon when she was recruited into the king's war.
