#gith

Mizzrym, better known as "Mitzy," was born into a normal Githyanki crèche but it was immediately apparent that something was different about her. Other Gith eggs were hardy, with thick healthy membranes and a vibrant acid green color; her egg came out a sickly green-gray, the membrane visibly thinner and leaving her developing embryo visible throughout her time in the egg. Fearful of the consequences of birthing such an anomaly and presenting it to her crèche, the Gith who laid her egg sold it off to a desperate, hungry street urchin citing that he could, in turn, sell off whatever hatched from it... if it hatched at all.

To his surprise, it did, and out tumbled a skinny, malnourished, pinkish-white little alien with a mouthful of sharp teeth and fingers tipped with claws. She gazed up at him with blood-red eyes as round as a coin, strange slitted pupils expanding and contracting as they adjusted to the light, and he decided right then that he wanted nothing to do with her. She was promptly sold to a traveling circus in town where she would eventually perform acrobatic and aerial shows for thousands, as well as use her inherent Githyanki psiionics to perform "magic" tricks.
