Background:
Ish was born into very humble origins in the lowest cast of the great mound.  Most of her rank are destined for low jobs as servants, day laborers or even arrow fodder for training of soldiers.  However, Ish was identified early as having magical talents, which was rare among Rabex.  She was elevated and brought into the higher schools of the Great Mounds Library.  Her family is still very poor and depends upon Ish to send them money to survive.

Being one of the best warlocks in their ranks Ish was sent North into the Takenlands to study with human wizards on understanding bizarre ruins that could lead to the uncovering the origins of the Rabex.

• Ish is a tough nosed Rabex who grew up in one of the poorest areas of the Great Mound.  She is used to violence both physical and magical.  
• Ish is practical for a Rabex which allows her to work well with humans.  Other Rabex can get too caught up in details and lose sight of the main point whcih frustrates humans.  Her ability to think like human is why she was selected for missions in the Taken Lands.

• Strength - Rabex are not very strong and Ish is no exception
• Low Birth - There are those in the lands of Rabex that continue to look down Ish due to her low birth despite her rare talents in sorcery
