History: her family remained in the mountains long enough to realize that there was more to life than scrabbling around, met up with Plains elves on their northernmost wanderings... her mother's family went back south, but for whatever reason she decided to head toward the harsh troll-claimed lands once more. So she was born to strife, even with the loose treaty between Picknose's tribe and the elves, there were still a massive amount of Mountain trolls residing deeper into the mountain range, and were never going to let their hard-won loot or land go.

Trained from childhood to enjoy the snow, thrill to hunt, and evade Troll weapons and traps, she was suddenly shunned a bit when her fire starting began to appear. A tribe filled with non-magical elves, and everyone knew it was her mother's line that carried so much of it...

Teyfu saw her young sister captured, and when she was a little older watched her father die to their cruelty. She headed away, just grabbed an elk and galloped southward along the great ice wall until she realized it wasn't ice under his hooves any more. In the rougher and slightly safer terrain Teyfu met another half-Go-Back, Eshuu, and after that traveled with him, locating more of the Go-Backs scattered and unusual children along the way. They'd also encountered a small trio of silent but powerful 'Ice Gliders', eagerly welcomed into their fold since they could shape the very ice they walked on!

They had been a group not quite a full turn of the seasons, when Ainea spotted this group and brought them to Bald Mountain; Teyfu had hardly gotten used to the place when they told her she'd be an excellent rider. Well she knew that, the elk was skittish at best, and she'd remained on his back through avalanches and pitfalls, longtooth-hunts, and even a troll attack.

There was a strange, specific batch of dragons, hatching up in mountains quite a bit like her old home. A huge number of them, in fact, and even though Teyfu had to learn a lot of new words ("human, dragon, threadfall") she felt the minds of the dragonets in their eggs drawing her close. One hatched to reveal a lovely dark brown wing, then a white and tan face! Had she a soul name, the dragon might have known it from hatching, just as she knew his name: Kevdayth. Together they learned to feed, fly, hunt, and play in the snowy skies! Soon enough the group was summoned back to Bald Mountain, and they would comprise a uniquely suited northern wing! Maybe they'd even visit Ainea up in the very far ice more regularly than their digs in Bald Mountain itself!
