Lefei doesn't remember his childhood at all, all his earlier memories are already in the circle. but! I will tell you that he was taken to the circle because he was very proficient in ice and lightning magic, so much it was uncontrollable by him alone and it had done damage to his body already

his first few weeks in the circle were with the high enchanters, specifically with the spirit healers, and the first spirit healer to actually make progress with treating him and making it safer for him to do magic was Wynne! so they met before the game plot :]

the high enchanters were able to make it so that his magic didn't hurt him, but the scars remained, as an adult Lefei always hid his scars because it felt like a reminder of his destructive nature, something that almost made the circle turn him tranquil (but Wynne was the mage to make the decision against it! she saw potential in Lefei and was very happy when he passed his harrowing)

this overall is something that maybe if Lefei was a companion, it would be the thing he reveals to the player if he trusts them, so in my canon it is something he reveals to his companion as the plot develops

first Morrigan sees the scars when Lefei and Alistair are getting healed at Flemeth's hut, because before that he was very careful not to show more skin than he needed to, ofcourse he didn't tell her much at first and only confided in her about his past when they became closer

next was Alistair, and he was the first person Lefei really confided in, their relationship is very close, being the last two grey wardens, but still Lefei explained his past in parts, sharing little by little as the two became good friends

the most important one is Zevran, Lefei only showed his scars during their first night together but he didn't explain them, Zevran thought it's too personal to get into and only pestered Lefei about it after a couple of nights, again, Lefei revealed his past in parts, but Zevran was the second person (after Alistair) who Lefei let touch his bare skin

I'll tell more at a later time but this is what I wanted to share so far :] thank you to whoever read this far!

when I was drawing young Lefei I was like shiiiiit this is like frozen isn't it😭😭

I have a thing I wanna sketch out and post with a bit of writing next :3
